Way to go Renewed!! Big congrats!!

As far as ebay vs. 24 hour fitness, its up to you.

I know renewed got hers for 330 bucks and that includes all the same stuff that the new ones from 24 hour fitness have.

I paid 350 for the bugg and the display, then I think it was like 10 bucks for shipping. I guess the pros for me were I didn't have to win an auction (which I think renewed did hers buy-it-now, so she didn't have to wait). I knew I was going to get a new, unused product, I always worry about that with ebay.

The 24 hour fitness ones come standard with the one free coaching session, and 3 months of online subscription. I think if you buy a used one, you have to buy an online subscription or something, I found that part confusing... As far as online retailers, 24 hour was the best buy I could find, still do a search though, someone else might be having a sale.

I may have joined this out of sheer blind optimism.

Since my band slipped and I was subsequently unfilled two weeks ago, my weight is going in the wrong direction now.

Pissed off. :cool2:

Nuke, I thought 24 hour fitness was 399 for the digital display and the unit. I must have looked at it wrong. If I had seen that correctly then I would have ordered it there. I did do mine buy it now, so I didn't have to win.. The sellar had like 10 of them, and looking at his feedback he has sold lots of them. I will get the subscription and coaching, but if the price is the same then I would have gone for the one at 24 hour fitness. Looks like it should be the same product. Thanks for the info.

Renewed,

They are 399 normally, but right now the bugg is on sale for 249 and then the display is still the normal price of 99. Its the same setup as what you got off ebay. Congrats on that purchase BTW. I know I read where one LBT member got hers for half price off of craigslist... That stuff just doesn't happen for me.

And another thing... When you register don't check the bariatric surgery checkbox. If you do it won't let you go further with the registration unless you have clearance from their site dietician, Gay Riley. I talked with her about it and she agreed that that box is more for people who have had bypass and such and have malabsorption issues. Let me know when you get it, I'm sure you will LOOOOVVVEEE it.

Thanks so much. I can't wait for it to get here. I am sooo ready to get going. I didn't realize they were having the sale. Oh well, once it's here and everything is working well it won't matter. I hope it will be here tommorow, but I bet it will be Monday.

I have been working my butt off at the gym, eating right, and burning at least 500 calories a day - what did it get me? 1 freaken pound loss. I am so frustrated! I'm not giving up, I'm going to keep plugging away, and hopefully it will start to come off faster! I dropped from 179 to 178 - exercising 6 days per week - eating 1000 calories a day, sometimes 1200, and only a 1 pound loss. grrrrrrrr

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
