How is it not cancer discrimination if cancer is what disqualified you? I think Gerri made some good suggestions in that regard.
Maybe this all was a blessing in disguise if it is any indication of how the program will be run. It also sounded like it would have been quite a commitment of time and travel.
But it seems they could reimburse your expenses since you did all of that in good faith.
I know my regional medical center has a medically supervised weight loss program. Maybe you have something like that close to you? And I did really well on good old Weight Watchers a few years ago. Lost 30 lbs and kept them off so far. I have also just joined a "Fit After Fifty" exercise program that the medical center offers
Glad you were able to share your frustration with us...keep us posted.
