Anyone use this website? It claims to get your insurance company to pay for protien drinks for WLS patients. I am going to call my insurance company tomorrow and see what they say. I am not comfortable giving my insurance information out.

I just wanted it pre op. That's When I'll be having the shakes. But it was on here once that they only send the shakes once and it's all about their Vitamins after that.

I got mine today. 72 Protein Drinks. I bottle of chewable Multi Vitamins and an rx of scar cream. Did not pay anything. Insurance company covered. The only thing they did not cover was the Vitamin. But the company sent them to me as a courtesy and said they would sent them in each shipment every month. Happy.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
