Bariatric Vitamin home delivery good? Or No?

Hello everyone! I went to my surgeons checkup appointment today and I was given paper work for a company called Nascobal They are a bariatric pharmaceutical company that ships monthly vitamins to your home you get : vitamin b-12 nasal spray prescription strength, Multivitamin, Iron+ Vitamin C, and Calcium+ D3 with Magnesium. They will bill my insurance and I pay a co-pay of 20 dollars a month. I'm just wondering if anyone else has used this service, or knows anything about these specific bariatric vitamins? I know they are all chewable. My surgeon thinks it's a great program to get the right vitamins that He feels I need to have and of course you can't beat 20 bucks a month for all of it. Thank you in advance! I hope everyone is doing well :)

@@hillgirly I will try that thank you. I don't know what's in these vitamins but I keep trying to take them and they just make me nauseas every time. I'm done with them.

I use this program but I can't tolerate their multi. I do use everything else. I'll use it a bit longer to see if my tummy decides to behave. Otherwise I'll get the B12 from my pharmacy.

@Elode I struggle with the same vitamins and I haven't even had surgery yet.

I am maybe going to try Wellesse liquid vitamins and calcium. Anyone else try this product out?

My NUT have this out during the group pre op appointment this week. She said it is personal preference due to whether or not you like the pills and stuff.

I'm going back to these! They are what I used since the beginning, never made me sick even on a empty stomach and gave me good labs! They are chewable even though I no longer need the chewable it doesn't hurt.

@@faith19evans Oh good I hope you like them. I need to order some more too. They don't have that powder to cream texture that I hate. I actually like the flavor. You will have to let me know what you think. I wasn't sure about ordering them at first but they had good reviews and they also have a good dose of minerals not all vitamins have the minerals included. Hopefully you will like them I know they aren't the cheapest but like I said they have never made me sick after eating them which is a blessing because so many do some deathly ill until I throw up. Not pleasant.

It is exciting! Good luck! It's a life changer!

I'm going to start taking this any thoughts? post-250791-14277606563788_thumb.jpg

That's what my NUT gave me

The Nascobal B12 is fine but the chewable multivitamin and the chewable calcium are disgusting. Terrible flavor and very chalky.
