Did you get insurance coverage for your protein?



Recommended Posts

I've seen posts where people are getting coverage for their supplements and Protein shakes through their insurance. Are you? What do you get covered? Who are you insured with? What was the process for getting coverage?

@@Big_Mama Thank you for the information! I went to the website and filled out a form to see if I qualify. This would be amazing if I did! :)

Thank you all for the tip. I will see if I quality. I won't get my hopes up though since my insurance won't cover one bit of my surgery. The least they can do is buy me some Protein right!

Exactly! I had heard about Insurenutrition on this forum. I filled out the form and about 3 weeks later I received an email stating I was approved. Once the Dr's office signed off on the prescription I started receiving my supplements. It took about a month & a half to start receiving them, but they've been coming now since 2 months after surgery, I'm now 7 1/2 months out.

I filled out the form on the insure website (I think it was their website) and the next day someone called me to verify info and said I will hear soon if my insurance will cover it, or not. I'm in Michigan and have BCBS. Good luck to everyone!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
