Hi all,

Just thought I would let you know that the 2012 benefit book is on line at www.fepblue.org. It doesn't look like there are any benefit changes for WLS. They are however changing the pharmacy program. I have just scanned it but I thought you all might want to know. It is a relief to me as I am afraid I might have to wait until Jan but still hoping for Nov.

I am not losing weight fast enough. September and most of October have been a bust because of no exercise due to my back...long story... I know it will be Nov before I can take the required classes and I have to get down to the required weight before it will be sent to Blue Cross. With the holidays and all, I can envision not being able to get in in Dec. I am focused again on gentle exercise; yesterday, I rode the stationary bike for 20 minutes. Hope to do 30 tomorrow sometime.tomorrow. Glad you survived the manometry. Hope you get the results soon.

what are you taking classes for and you dont need to lose alot of weight preband? unless you on the milkshake- and i only lost 7 lbs in 3 mo, dr was happy with that cause i have cormorbitities, high blood pressure and cholesterol. other than that i dont want to lose too much and get under the 40 bmi, so i am not really excerising right now. just mainating one or two lbs less than last weigh in. I hope your back feels better. walk or swim. alot easier on body- i walk around my apt. 1000 times
