Beth, my display came off as well. I actually lost it in my yard for a day or 2. I was freaked out. I finally found it. I use the clip now, and clip it on my pants pocket with the display facing the inside of my pocket so if it comes off it will still be in my pocket. Bummer.

Mine has fallen off twice. It's now a habit to check every so often to make sure it is secure.

OKAY... so I am very excited b/c I ordered my Body Bugg yesterday so it's on it's way. I have a question though... I was reading a Body Bugg review that says that once your 3 month free subscription to the site is over that the Body Bugg is useless unless you renew your subscription for the site at $200 a month. Please tell me this isn't so b/c I can't spend $200 a month on this. HELP! :)

$200 a month, I don't think so... If you look at Bodybugg.com you can signup for various options. The most expensive option is $14.95/month and thats a no contract, month to month, I think if you want to sign up for a year its 100 dollars.

I copied this from their website:

Renewal Option:

bodybugg Web Subscription Monthly Recurring ($14.95)

bodybugg Web Subscription 1 Month Only ($29.95)

bodybugg Web Subscription 3 Months ($39.95)

bodybugg Web Subscription 12 Months ($99.95)

Darby, I think I remember reading a post where they said they bought a used one off of Ebay, Craig's list, whatever, that it did cost $199 to activate it. If it is purchased new, and the serial number was never activated on Apex.com, then it should be the prices above. $99 for a year. after the 3 month free subscription.

If anyone can, try to buy it at the 24 hour fitness club, no shipping and immediate gratification. You do not have to be a member, just walk in. They probably will ask if u wanna join, then tell them what you want.

You can also order direct from BodyMedia, albeit more expense, but a way better product and web portal, than the bodybugg and 24hrs.

Sensewear~

I am a bit baffled, I was told that 24 hour fitness, Apex, BodyBugg were all owned by the same company, which I thought you worked for? Now you are promoting BodyMedia - which, after looking at their website, looks like a bb knockoff. What gives, does Apex own them all?

Kevin, i have the same question as Wendy. looks like you are trying to say that BodyBugg and your product are the same, which they clearly are not.

I'm confused, please explain.

I apologize for any confusion that I've caused. Let me try and clear things up.

Bodymedia is the manufacture of the bodybugg and supplies 24hr/Apex with the product. Bodymedia also manufactures a product called Sensewear-mini. It’s the next generation if you will of the old product that 24hr currently sells. It's sold mainly into a medical environment, but is available to purchase by anyone. I won't go into all the features & benefits, but its much lighter, smaller, measures sleep, & has a re-chargeable battery to name a few.

It must be said however that 24hr/Apex is a strategic partner of Bodymedia. So one can assume that down the line (sooner than later) 24hr/Apex will have the smaller version, but still not the same product as Sensewear-mini from certain measuring capabilities, such as measuring sleep. So as your head is spinning, I'll throw one more thing out. There will be another armband coming out that will be geared for the masses called "Go Wear Fit". It'll be a scaled down version of the "mini", with basically the same functionality of the current bodybugg.

Clear as mud?

Sensewear, I find it a little confusing that you are trying to promote this product to people who have spent $250 or more on the body bugg already. Maybe if your wanting to promote this product you should open a new thread...that way people can decide which one they are wanting.

JD,

Twice you said I was promoting a product. Let it be clear I'm not. Read the thread and I was responding to someone's question. If you buy from 24/hr or through Bodymedia, it makes no difference to me or the company. You and others have discovered the power of the device and that's the most important thing. Buying any technology today and as you know, something better will be out tomorrow. Sorry if took any offense to my post.

It sounded like you were promoting it to me as well - sorry for all the confusion. We are all BB fiends in here - It appeared you came across as an employee of BB, then began promoting a different product, I am sure you can see, in this thread, that is like throwing yourself into a hungry lion's den!

Hopefully no feelings were hurt - OH, I have a great idea for the new UPGRADED version - I want mine to zap me if I raise the fork to my mouth too many times! Ha!

      Four days post surgery. I am sipping as fast as I can and getting NO WHERE near the goal of 60 - 80 grams of protein or the 64 oz of liquids. I just feel FULL. I don't know if it can still be the gas build up (I would think by now that would be gone) but it is a struggle to drink. And so far I have not had the nausea or spasms and don't want to wander into that territory by pushing too hard with liquids. I about passed out today as it was my most "strenuous" day. Went from second story to basement for shower and I was sure I was going to pass out. Looking back on my last few days I have had a total of less than 1000 calories. Am I just not getting enough nourishment in me? Once again a friday where I can't get ahold of the doc until Monday rolls back around so I am hoping maybe someone here has some experience on how to keep energy going. I do have fibromyalgia too and that may be where some added fatigue comes into play. How did you all fair with the goals the week after surgery?

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

      2. Selina333

        I'm in Houston so kind of near you and had the sleeve in Dec. Down 61 lbs. Feeling better. Was definitely worth it. I hope the everything is going well for you. Update us when you can!

        I am back home after my bypass surgery in Tiajuana. I'm post op day 4. Everything went great! I guess I'm one of the lucky ones who have not encountered much pain at all, no nausea thus far and I'm having no problem keeping down broths and water. Thank you for your well wishes. I cant wait to keep up this journey and have a chance at better health and simply better quality of life. I know there will be bumps in the road ahead, and everything won't be peaches and cream, but at least I have a great start so far. 😍

    • LeighaTR

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

      2. Doughgurl

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!
