Bariatric Vitamin home delivery good? Or No?



Recommended Posts

This is a great post. I am looking into Vitamin options now for after surgery. I wonder if any of the other major Vitamin suppliers offer the same option to bill your insurance and only charge the co-pay?

@@Elode did you have to give them a prescription from your Dr.?

You can get your Protein drinks and scar cream covered by most insurance as well. Click the top banner for info on InsureNutrition :D

@@mykdzmom Yes my surgeon had the forms and sent over the prescription, the b-12 is a prescription strength if I understood right.

I'm getting it. The fee is reasonable and the Vitamins don't taste horrible like the Bariatric Advantage ones I have do. So why not. Usually vitamins upset my stomach. These don't seem to yet

I did this program right after surgery-my doctor's office handed out the flyers in the pre-surgery meeting. I didn't want to have to worry about not having what I needed right after surgery. The service was really great. However, the Vitamins were the only thing that made me sick while recovering --- definitely ME not the Vitamins. I can't do the chewable ones. Too much like Sweet Tarts (which I never liked) I guess. Eventually I cancelled the service & switched the spray to the pharmacy. I would definitely recommend though. I was slow to cancel so I know I have unopened bottles that I'll have to offer up here when I get a chance. :)

      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.
