It was brought to our attention that individuals who heard about the FREE LAP-BAND® GIVE AWAY Contest in the later part of January did not have adequate opportunity to attend a seminar, which is a requirement per contest rules. As a result, we have delayed the selection of our 5 finalists to permit time for individuals to accomplish this important step. The new timeline is below:

1. Seminars that are scheduled through 2/20/10 are applicable toward the contest requirements.
2. Entry forms and seminar attendance will be reviewed and 5 candidates will be selected and contacted by 3/1/10.
3. Once these 5 candidates are selected, an office visit with Dr. Ernest Rehnke and clinical psychologist will take place to confirm eligibility.
4. On or around 3/15/10, these 5 candidates' pictures and profiles will be posted on www.ObesityNoMoreFL.com. The prizewinner will be announced on 3/31/10 based upon the most votes.
