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

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?
