Anyone use this website? It claims to get your insurance company to pay for protien drinks for WLS patients. I am going to call my insurance company tomorrow and see what they say. I am not comfortable giving my insurance information out.

I just wanted it pre op. That's When I'll be having the shakes. But it was on here once that they only send the shakes once and it's all about their Vitamins after that.

I got mine today. 72 Protein Drinks. I bottle of chewable Multi Vitamins and an rx of scar cream. Did not pay anything. Insurance company covered. The only thing they did not cover was the Vitamin. But the company sent them to me as a courtesy and said they would sent them in each shipment every month. Happy.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
