I must say I'm a little disappointed in the customer service of this site. I filled out my application 3weeks ago and have had to call them to "check" every step of the way, they first told me they were waiting on my dr to fax back the scripts, but my dr had done it on the 10th. Now they said it was still being processed. They told me three different times they would call me back, but don't. Today they said they'd call me tomorrow to let me know what's covered. Please don't get me wrong, if approved I will be soooo grateful,these Protein Shakes are pricey! Anyone else feel like they're getting the run around?

Sigh....YES but at the opposite end!

I keep trying to get them to STOP sending them to me! I use a different Protein shake now and it's worth it to me to pay the $$ bc I've never liked the Premiere Protein! I've asked them to stop twice and just got another delivery today!

Anyone in central to southern CA want some premiere Protein shakes????

I was approved on June 13th and I just got my first shipment Monday July 22, 2014. I am very please with Insure service. I have been purchasing premier shakes from SAMs and to save the $$ I am very excited and a very happy camper. I also received two big bottles of liquid

Multi Vitamins and a list of the Vitamins in the bottle. Once again I only have positive things to say.

I have so many shakes left and I am using varying kinds of shakes. I want them to stop sending me shakes. I didn't get a shipment in June but then I got one in July!

I honestly don't think they wait for a prescription from your doctor because I filled out the form. They sent me an email saying they sent the form to my doctor. Then a few days later they emailed me back saying the doc sent the prescription back and they would notify me if approved. Well I haven't even had my first appt with doctor so why would a doc fill out a perscription on a patient he's never seen. I think they just take your insurance info and see if they can get it approved and gov from there. Today they emailed me and said my ins does not cover it. So u think they just go directly to your ins company.

Hi everyone, I am speaking from my own experience. The company do contact your Dr. When I filled out the paper work I put the NP down because she is the one that do my fills (Lapband). I called my Dr office to follow up to make sure they did receive the paperwork from Insure. The receptionist inform me the paper work came in with the NP name listed and they had to contact Insure to resend paperwork with Doctor listed. To make a long story short .. I just got my second shipment with two bottles of liquid muliti Vitamins. I love the Premier Protein shakes . I receive 4 cases a month and each case contain 18 shakes...Saving me $$ because I was purchasing every two weeks at SAMs...... I hope this helps

Im waiting on 1st shipment. This would save me $100 a month! So worth the paperwork & email tag to get it done. I prefer premier chocolate and when needed I thin it down w milk so not as sweet. Good luck

      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.
