iPhone app for banders

[SageTracey 608]

Is anyone using BariMate, the iPhone app for banders and other bariatric surgeries?

I picked up a flyer about it at my surgeon's office today and downloaded it as soon as I got home. It's been developed by an Australian surgeon but can be used in kg or lb mode. There are nine sub-apps, the most inspiring ones look like the Track Me and Graph Me where you can get graphs and other reports of your progress. It says you can even download them as PDFs to email! Another of the sub-apps is Fill Me, which is described as an interactive estimator as to whether you need a fill or not.

I think it's a bit light on the dietary advice section but that may grow over time.

Just thought I would share this for bandsters wanting to carry a bit of inspiration and a reminder of how far we have progressed in your pocket.

Hmm... Looks interesting, at $7.99 I'm gonna have to think about it though

Hi Jess,

It's $9.99 here in Australia! But I looked at it as a long term tool (a bit like my band!) which will let me look back over my journey to remind me just how far I have come....when I get there, or get discouraged on the way. I really like that it offers inspirational little quotes whenever I open the app. Plus I can enter my own messages that remind me of why I am doing this - like: "To dance all night" "To look fantastic in my son's wedding photos" and "To live long and well enough to enjoy grandkids - one day!"

You're right. It is worth it, just bought it and it's downloading now. Hope I like it!

Hi...I just downloaded the new iphone application. I will follow up later with how it is working. I am in the process of looking at what my options are. I am hoping the tracking program will help me come to a sound decision. I am am glad to be back online again. I am looking to affirm a new weight loss programs.

[SageTracey 608]

Every now and then I just open it up for the inspirational messages to give me a mental boost. I am looking forward to six to eight months down the track when I have some real data in there and can see some downward movement on my graphs etc.

What a shame i dont have an i phone

I would love this

I recently found that my wii fit has been tracking my weight loss and could have also tracked my inches/cm lost too if i had been inputting them.....I must ask my surgeon if he took all those details when i was first banded as I know that he has a graph with my weight loss that he shows me when i go in.

They need one online that everyone can use....cool idea though with the app for the iphone
