Unexpected surprise expenses

[vsgval 13]

If you haven't tried already, check out insure nutrition. I get 4 cases (72 shakes), optisource bariatric Vitamins and scar cream delivered every month st no cost to me. Hopefully your insurance will cover too.

Insurance covered your scar cream too?

Yes a big tub it's very expensive stuff too. If you are supposed to pay a percentage they won't charge you your portion, just takes what insurance pays only. Search the forms a LOT of people get their stuff from them. They have some special metabolic complex too but mine didn't cover that, but some people's insurance does.

What is scar cream?

[Julie norton 2,850]

It is a form of cream to minimize scarring after surgery.

There are drugstore brands: mederma, scar gel. I ordered silicone gel+ off the internet. A bit pricey but seems to be helping

Some come in creams. Others in adhesive strips.

Good luck w/ incisions!

I feel fortunate Dr Nicholson does not push the bariatric brand Vitamins. Here is the list I received from his office for Vitamins.< /p>

chewable Multivitamins twice daily CVS Spectravite Senior Chewables)

Pepcid Complete chewable twice daily for 90 days then optional

Vitamin B12 2500 mcg (2) sublingual once weekly

Vitamin D3 5000 IU's daily

Slo Fe or Ferritt's Iron daily (cannot take at the same time with the calcium)

Calciam Citrate Chewable 500 mg twice daily (Citracal Gummies)

Many times the local pharmacies like CVS and Walgreens often have buy one get one free vitamin products.

Good Luck!

My nutritionist told me that I could take 2 flintstones a day and to get B12 that disolves in your mouth. I found the B12 at Kroger for 6.99 Buy one get one free. That's it for Vitamins.
