  1. I have BCBS and it took less than 2 weeks for approval :-) good luck!
  2. Yes they are chewable and dissolvable. My nutritionist said gummy vitamins have no minerals so they are not a complete vitamin (of course that's what I had been taking). These Bariactiv vitamins have a great taste (orange and fruit punch I think) and it only costs me $25 a month for B12 Nasal, Calcium, iron, and Multi Vitamin. If you buy them all separately every month it can get pricey. Plus they deliver it to your house.
  3. My office set me up with Nascobal (B12 nasal doses) and their bariactiv vitamins. It's submitted through your insurance and you pay $25 or less a month. It was designed specifically for Bariatric patients. I have been taking them pre surgery and I really like them (all chewable/dissolvable). They were also really quick and helpful setting it up through my insurance. A lot cheaper than buying new each month.
  4. I am 29 years old, 5 foot 7 and having my sleeve done July 14th. I am also around the same weight (264). :-)
  5. I just got my approval and I will be sleeved on July 14th. I am a teacher so I needed to wait for school to finish. Really excited now that I finally have approval. Good luck everyone!
