Just an FYI ... I'm 5 days post op with the sleeve. Everything is going well. I just wanted to share what my friend shared with me about getting your drinks paid for through your insurance.

Didn't know if it would go through or not but it did!! I signed up online at Insure Nutrition, gave them my insurance information (make sure it's your prescription plan info) and they did all the work for me. They verified my insurance, contacted my Doctor for the prescription and a week later I received my first shipment!!

You all may already know about this but I didn't and I honestly couldn't have been more surprised that it was approved and had no copay!! My drinks were actually delivered a week before my surgery do they were ready for me!

They also do liquid supplements but my doctor has me on chewable Flintstones lol so I'm doing those instead.

Oh and I'm doing premier chocolate.

I just got my huge (HEAVY) box of shakes last week. I got the Premier Protein chocolate/vanilla combo. I have to say they are amazingly good, and either a combination of them+time made me get off a short stall I was on.

I also was approved for the scar cream -- I'm not really sure what it "does" (I mean, scar help obviously) but hey it's not going to hurt to put it on, right? Anyone been using it for a longer period of time have had any good results with it?

They also sent me a sample of chewable Vitamins as I wasn't approved for them. They are pretty good -- the brand is Optisource (Citrus flavor) and is made by NestleHealthScience. No idea if these are readily available for purchase, but I know a lot of people often look for Vitamin alternatives, so I figured I'd mention.

I wish I had know about this earlier in my process, I probably wouldn't have bought that Ninja blender (though it IS pretty amazing, I just find myself not using it as much now that I have the Premier Shakes and shakes from BariatricChoice.com)

I would call again and ask. Mine was submitted to CVS Caremark and was approved.

So should I apply with my cvs Caremark card?

Yes, that's what I did and I was approved.

Ok thank you!

Good luck everyone.<br><br> I will try too but I'm Tri-care prime, so I doubt I'll be lucky.<br><br> Xx

Did tricare pay??

Once you've subscribed, you cannot change existing information, I had to register again with a different email address. That's a pain.

They offer Optisource or Premier Protein drinks..... I had the Optisource protein in the hospital and I didn't like it..... it was horrible or maybe it was just becuase i was so sick then....

I'm not having surgery until the end of May. Can I go ahead and apply or should I wait?

What if we get them and we don't like it?

I applied with Aetna, and was turned down- I asked the lady if she was sure she couldn't try using my CVS Caremark prescription plan- and she seemed upset and told me no! If I re- apply with my CVS Caremark, they will fax my Dr again I guess- or call me and tell me nice try! Haha. But also just spent $35 on portion drinks, so think I'll give it another try too.

Let me know if your went thru with CVS Caremark on your second try.
