Just got the call that they're going to supply me! My surgeons office just needs to fax back a signed prescription. I'm excited! She said they're sending 4 cases of the Premier Protein enough for 2 shakes per day. Idk if that means monthly or if it's a one time deal but I'm grateful either way! Everyone really should give this a go you never know what your insurance company will cover. :)!

I receive them monthly...4 cases (with 18 drinks each) + Vitamins + scar cream. I have about 8 drink cases that I haven't opened yet. :) I'm good for awhile. My prescription was for 6 months, so I should get just one more case. So whatever you surgeon signed for your prescription is how much you'll receive. I think the first order has a copy of the prescription in it. You could always email InsureNutrition and ask.

I originally got two cases of vanilla and 2 of chocolate, but I like chocolate better, so I switched to all chocolate.

The first two months they provided liquid Vitamins that I thought was fine, but I'm sure many people don't like it. Very citrus-y. Months 3-6 is chewable vitamins.

There was so much scar cream that I could've used just the first one they sent and never run out. I tossed the rest. I'm not sure if they're still sending it as I have 2 shipping boxes I haven't opened yet.

Someone posted a picture that scar cream is costing your insurance company thousands of dollars the price i saw was over $6,000. If you don't need it please call the company and tell them to stop sending it. You're causing your insurance company to spend money it doesn't need to considering you threw it out.

Don't waste your time with them. They claimed that the doctor never faxed over a prescription. After several tries & going back and forth I gave up & said never mind. They called a month later & said they didn't receive the prescription & they couldn't help me. Smh...

Apparently they faxed the scripts to my dr.

I'll give the company a call to see if they got them. I'll be wicked bummed out if they give me the run around

They could also just include the Protein and Vitamins for "free" as long as the insurance company covers the scar cream. That is what they did for me until I found out the cost of the cream and stopped the service. At that point they told me the protein and vitamins weren't covered but they included them as long as I got the scar cream.

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

      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?

      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! 😞
