Vitamins, Shakes and Meal Replacements covered by insurance?



Recommended Posts

I am still trying to find a high count Protein shake, Meal Replacement that I might like. I'm not a milk person and not fond of chocolate. I have two in mind Syntrax nectar and Bariatric fusion. Both have fruit flavors. I typically order from Amazon, but there is a sigh doctorsbestweightloss that seems good too. I'd love to get feedback.

I've read horror stories of people losing haird etc. I have thick, thick hair, but I don't want to begin to lose it.

Can we take chewable Vitamins? Or should we take liquid?

Finally, I just phoned my case manager on insurance and asked about insurance coverage since this was what I need to have and she said she had never heard of the shakes and Meal Replacements being covered by insurance, but I could call the general number and ask.

Oh questions, questions, questions.............

Thanks for such a tremendous support network.

Syntrax nectar caribbean cooler tastes just like a pina colada. I also like the Crystal Sky which is more citrus. The Twisted cherry is good too.

The other Syntrax flavor I liked was Peanut Butter cookie.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
