Has anyone actually spoke to a person from this company?

I entered all the info last week and have not heard a peep.

I feel like it's a scam

Plus, I called my Ins and they said no one has called on my behalf in regards to Protein coverage.

yes, you will hear from them. The process seemed a bit slow for me, but I' not sure if the Dr's office was the hold up submitting the script.

I got a call back today and realized why I wasn't hearing from them. I've been calling 9am eastern time. They are central time. I got a call from Los Angeles and figured it was some weirdo calling the wrong number, till I listened to the message, hen it clicked lol

I truly hope my ins will cover this. As you all know, it is expensive to get good Protein

It's not a scam. I did the process, my doc wrote out the rx but in the end my insurance declined to pay. It was worth a try though. :)

Can someone give me a bit more information about this? I have pretty great insurance that covers a lot! I would love to know more so that I can see.

Thanks!

They've been delivering to me for six months now (protein drinks, scar cream, vitamins). They've always responded to my emails within a day or two.

      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.
