Hi those of you who are getting your Protein Shakes from insure nutrition, do any of you know if you can get renewed after the initial 6 months or is the 6 months the max your allowed

Not really sure. Probably have to get the prescription renewed and then it probably depends on whether your insurance has a cap on it or not.

I just wanted to ask if anyone else out there is having a tough time with Insure Nutrition's turnaround time? I am soooooooo frustrated right now. It's been over a week since I found out I was approved and I was told that I would be receiving the shipping confirmation email, and still NOTHING. I've called to follow up and heard the "held up in the pharmacy" excuse that I've seen other posters here mention.

Don't get me wrong, I'm thankful for their service, BUT seriously if they're going to advertise their services on sites like this they need to have the staff to support the business. I know patience isn't my forte, but seriously, when I'm told that something will be shipped and then a week later I'm still waiting it just makes me crazy!!!!!! AAAAGGGGGHHHHH!

I'm really worried that it will arrive while I'm in the hospital and sit on my porch in the heat and then the shakes will get all nasty. We all know that heat isn't good for Protein........ :(

Sorry for the rant. I needed to get that out though. LOL!!

I jut went on the website and filled out the do I qualify info. They faxed a prescription to my dr office and I let my dr office know and asked them to sign it. They sent it back and insure nutrition deals with your insurance. My insurance approved it...

If you get a script from your surgeon or primary care doctor, and are approved for the surgery, why do you need to go through Insure Nutrition?

I don't know what you mean? Like would someone else fill the Protein Drink script? I don't know any pharmacy that would do that...

My Blue Cross/ Blue Shield Medicare plus of Mi didn't approve it. Must be my particular plan.

I thought that you might be able to send in the order to a place that carries the Protein Powder along with the script and they bill the insurance. OR, you might be able to order it and pay for it, then file a claim later. I don't understand why I only hear about Insure nutrition handling this for people.

As I understand, they are charging BIG bucks for the scar cream that goes along with the "free Vitamins and free Protein drinks". The pharmacy generally cannot charge your insurance for the drinks....it is an added bonus ALONG with the scar cream. Otherwise we would all go our LOCAL pharmacy and get our Protein Drinks for free.... That is my understanding. :)

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
