Hi Shirley,

Did anyone reply to you on this? The bar code scanner is on the phone app. I have the iphone, not sure if the droid version has it? But next to the search bar there is a little bar code looking button, you click on that and it turns on your camera. Then you basically put the barcode in view and it captures it and tells you the information of that item.

It's pretty neat :)

Happy Friday,

ZoeBug

Your the first to get back, so thanks !

I don't have a iphone, but I do have a phone with a camera in it.

Do you think it is possible for a standard phone/ with a camera to do the scanning? Just asking... Mine is by SAMSUNG.

Thanks, Shirley.

Hi Shirley.

I think for now only the iphone can do the scanner thing......that's what I have and I use that feature a lot!!!

Now if only all restaurants across the country had that feature on their menus online, it would be PERFECT!!!! I wouldn't have to rely on someone else's info!! :)

Your a Genius! Take that Idea, and have that Patented. Then go to the states and show how it works, and the Home Shopping Club, and Q V C. For the idea alone, you would be rich $$$$ Once they in the states see how easy it is to get your Health Info, just by scanning a bar code Label... That would put a end to all this stuff on the News, about how will they figure out everything on a new Menu ! Well you have the solution to a Billion Dollar Problem.

I am serious ! don't laugh, or think to long. If you know a Lawyer or have one in the Family. Explain how it can be done by just scanning, and every Restaurant will have to have a bar code label after the listing.. Then you can see everything with your phone. No problems for the waitress, cooks Restaurant etc. I think you could hit it big.....

Just try it and see. On my iPhone, there are tutorials (super helpful) in the "more" area. Not sure what phones it works on, but install it for free and see what you find :)

Shirley,

You have to have a "Smart Phone" like a Droid or an I-phone, one where you can download applications. A regular phone with a camera will not work. I'm in the same boat as you. I just have a regular phone.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
