My doctors office got me the script for the scar cream at my first post op appt. I have like ten flipping bottles of it! I applied for insure nutrition afterwards & was approved. So all I'm getting from them is the Protein Drinks.< /p>

I heard this is a scam. Some people's insurance didn't approve it and the person who applied ended up getting billed for it anyway when it was sent to them. They were getting charged for overpriced scar cream with free Protein Shakes and vits. It's considered a fraudulent company.

I've been getting them for several months as well and have not been billed for anything. I saw my surgeon for my 1 year checkup and he was amazed at how much weight I've lost and how well I'm doing. He said he would definetly sign a renewal for me to continue getting the shakes and all. From what I understand when your 6 months is up or about a month before call insure nutrition and let them know you would like to continue getting your product and they will send a renewal script to your doctor and keep it going as long as your insurance approves.i called them and talked to them about it. I personally like the shakes now, I could not drink any of them when I was early out, but your taste do change and what you can tolerate will. Change over time. I try to do at least 1 shake a day to add to what I eat.

You may not have been billed but call your insurance company or check your EOB statements and see just how much they are charging your insurance company for the scar cream. And make sure you do not have a maximum cap on meds from your insurance company cuz it can add up really quick!

I read that some people were charged like 2-4 grand for scar cream which is nuts! This company is very fishy and the fact that they cannot keep up with orders a concern ... Last I knew they ran out of a small store in LA and were considered a fraudulent company dealing with mostly Medicaid insurances... And were yes, considered insurance scam due to the amount they were charging for scar cream . Just sharing my input on the situation.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
