cdeisroth 420 Posted October 15, 2016 https://www.nascobal.com/patient/save-with-nutrition-direct I use this program. They send me all of my Vitamins, automatically, every month. They contacted my insurance and negotiated a $25 monthly fee. It is awesome! They automatically deduct the payment from my checking account and the shipment arrives like clockwork. For the first 6 months I got dissolveable pills, now I get the swallowable pills. All are formulated for Bariatric patients. I highly reccomend Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G920A using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
