How much was that altogether? And you you mind linking the site you got it and the nutrition info? Please and thank you. ^_^ also have you tasted them, and are they good or at least not awful? My sense of taste is super sensitive since surgery 4 days ago... XD

I applied at www.insurenutrition.com

I've bought these drinks at BJs and they are very good. I tried them before I was approved. There was a link on the bariatric pal site too.

Good luck!

I didn't pay anything. It was covered 100% by my insurance.

Your insurance paid for your shakes? WOW.

I was assigned a worker when I started my journey (through my 6 months supervised program) she said she did not think it was covered. But I believe I read somewhere the meals and Protein shakes may be covered.

I live in WA state and have Uniform Medical through Regence.

It is certainly worth checking into further.

If you don't mind what insurance do you have? When did you have your surgery?

I just called them. I have to register online and then they will check it all out and let me know.

They said it takes 2 to 3 weeks to get things done.

I agree this could be a huge savings.

Thanks so much for the information.

I have united healthcare for medical and Caremark for prescriptions. I think this was covered through my prescription plan. They sent 4 cases of Protein Drinks. 1 months supply of bariatric Vitamins, and some scar cream. They said they will send automatically for the next year. I will not have to pay anything out of pocket. From when I applied it's been about 8 weeks total till I received anything.

I also get my shakes from Insure Nutrition. No co-pay. My insurance covers it. I like the chocolate but not the strawberry. I drink one every morning on my way into work :-)

You can also get these at costco and Sam's too. They are about 18.98/box of the shakes. I do drink them daily. Since I was self pay, I never looked into seeing if they could be covered.

Yay for all of you that get them covered!

So I just found out, my insurance doesn't cover this. However, they do offer state employees a discount prescription card that will kick in when your Doctor writes an Rx for anything not covered inclusive over the counter supplements, and meds. So if my Dr. writes me a Rx for the supplements, I can use the card which generally discounts 10 to 50%.

Guess that is better than nothing. Thanks for this information and at least getting me hunting that may save me some money.

@@magicalwoman they are currently on sale on Costco.com 19.99 for 18 shakes. Although my FSA account covers them from my Drs office BUT I'm paying double for the same amount! So I was looking for a less expensive way to stock up Pre-op!

      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! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
