I got so excited at the thought of some insurance covered Protein Shakes and Vitamins but my insurance didn't cover them. Major disappointment! I have BCBS MS for state employees.

Thw Vitamins were nor covered but the company is going to send them to be as a courtesy. I so love this company and my insurance company.

I sent in my information and I'm waiting to hear back from them. How long did the process take? How are their shakes?

has anyone been successful in getting the insurance company to pay for supplements? If so, can you tell us who your doctor is and what your insurance company is?

Can someone reply to this thread who knows if this is legit. I received a shipment today and they are asking me to sign an RX form and mail it back.

Thanks,

I was contacted by them on Monday saying I was approved and that they would be faxing RX documents to my surgeon and that my Premier Protein would also be covered. They didn't say how many and they also said my copay would be waived due to a special they were running this month. We'll see if anything shows up.

      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.
