I got my prescription today. I look forward to starting it tomorrow!! The online savings card was super easy and fast to get. My insurance didn't pay for it so the savings card brought my bill down from $177 to $90.

I just joined JC on Friday. I know it's a bad time of the year but my weight is out of control. I am very impressed with the program so far. The food is tasty and you get full. I go back on Wednesday to weigh in. Looking forward to a loss!!!

I got excluded from the study

brp1627.... After the procedure, how long were you sick or have stomach cramps? I have my procedure tomorrow and I am wondering if I will know if I get the device or not. I find it hard to believe that people won't know by their eating capabilities whether or not they have the device? ptsmiles.... I can't wait to hear…

I completed the baseline on Friday and the procedure is definitely set for Tuesday. I'm excited and a little nervous! Was your first 3 days hard?

mcfaddin7.... I am in Nashville as well. I feel like if we get through the baseline on Friday, we are finally in there. Lol. I am so ready for this!! Good luck to you:)

Well once again I am set for my baseline appt on Friday and the procedure nov 15. They are doing our labs, baseline, and meeting with the dietician all in the same day. I am praying nothing changes and it is a go this time. Did they give you some type of exercise plan/ guide to go by with your diet?

Oh yeah and since our labs, bloodwork, etc. is over 54 days old, we now have to go through all of that again! Uggh... It's really frustrating and I have taken time off of work for all of that and now have to do it again.... not to mention getting my hopes up and being let down. I really hope that it goes this time.

lydcot58.... when are you set for your baseline and procedure? I am enrolled in the study and have been put off for the procedure on 3 different dates in Nashville supposedly because of a device malfunction and the sponsor put the study off. I am now scheduled for the procedure on Nov. 15. I hope it goes this time!! But to…

Well once again it got put off?!?! Supposedly the sponsor put it off again u til the later part of October. That means we have to start the whole process over (blood work, psyc eval, etc). They hope to put all of that and the baseline appt in one. I have almost given up on it. It's like they get our hopes up and then 2…

My procedure date is finally set.... September 27

@ptsmiles ... I got an email this week that the procedure is back on and they are going to start scheduling for the end of this month. I'm keeping my fingers crossed!! How is your progress? How much have you lost since February? Can you tell if you have the device or not?

Well I am very disappointed. I was set for my baseline appointment tomorrow and procedure next Tuesday but they told me that the study has been put off because of a device malfunction. The coordinator told me that the distal tip had malfunctioned in 1 pt. and the sponsor (Baranova) is putting the study on hold for 4-6…

mlvardy.... how did your procedure go? I am scheduled on Aug. 16 and I am wanting any and all info!! Hope all is well:)

Gosh that is great vblake2012! I am scheduled for August 16th. How much weight do you have to lose? What was your starting BMI?

Hello everyone! I am so excited that I found this group. I go for my baseline on August 9th and the procedure is scheduled for August 16th. Are all of you in the endobesity studyII where it is in place for 12 months? I know the first one was only for 6 months. I have gained so much weight and I am on 3 blood pressure meds…
