Bariatric Vitamin home delivery good? Or No?



Recommended Posts

Hello everyone! I went to my surgeons checkup appointment today and I was given paper work for a company called Nascobal They are a bariatric pharmaceutical company that ships monthly Vitamins to your home you get : Vitamin b-12 nasal spray prescription strength, Multivitamin, Iron+ Vitamin C, and Calcium+ D3 with Magnesium. They will bill my insurance and I pay a co-pay of 20 dollars a month. I'm just wondering if anyone else has used this service, or knows anything about these specific bariatric vitamins? I know they are all chewable. My surgeon thinks it's a great program to get the right vitamins that He feels I need to have and of course you can't beat 20 bucks a month for all of it. Thank you in advance! I hope everyone is doing well :)

I see my NUT on the 16th, so I will ask her about it. That would be an awesome thing, please let us know what you think of the program and the Vitamins, if you don't mind. Thanks!

My NUT actually gave me this! I was going to do it but I no longer have any insurance. It would have cost me $25!

@@fit4life123 That's good to hear! Not the insurance part but that other people have been told about it. They did say co pay will depend on what insurance you have.

I know I personally spend more than that on my Vitamin regimen a month so I don't mind paying a co-pay I just wonder how good the actual Vitamins are. And I've never used a nose spray for my vit B-12.

I actually was given this same thing my my NUT. The greatest part is the nasal b-12 because it's only once a week and apparently is absorbed better than when taken in sublingual form. It's also so nice not to have to think about it, they will just send it to you and that way you never run out. I will say that I did not like the multivitamin and continue to take Flinstones but I think the $20 is worth it just for the B12.

Update: I called this morning and my insurance approves it! My co-pay is actually 25 dollars but still great! @@sunflowerchild I didn't do the monthly shipment plan. I want to try them out for the first month first to see if I like them :)

Here's a number if anyone else is interested in calling to see if your insurance covers it. I have BCBS FEd

      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.
