I have Medicare thru United health care and Medicaid. I'm trying to get a revision from lap band to Ru N Y.... I have a BMI of 35 and comorbidities, also have a complication with my hernia slipping into my band. My insurance girl says due to the complication I don't have to do the diet, I called my insurance before I started my journey and they said they would cover it if medically necessary, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed that they will approve due to my complication. I'm quiteow income and live on food stamps so I'm wondering if any of my local grocers carry whey Protein that says nutrition instead of supplement so it's covered by food stamps. I hope everyone who is attempting to be approved will do so. Thanks for listening and sharing your stories.

I live in FL and they have the Protein in Publix and Walmart. The protein (per my doc) should be whey Isolate. The Premier pre-mixed is at both stores and it is tolerable.
