Topic: RE: Beneprotein covered by RAMQ?

The first tub i got was covered.  however i never went back to get a second because it found it to be completely inedible.  the taste is ok for some, horrible to others.  worth looking into though ... can save you a lot of money.

 

HW: 407   Final Appointment : 376   Pre-op Diet Start: 367   SW: 350 (Apr2/2013) Add me on MFP

Topic: Beneprotein covered by RAMQ?

Does anyone know if Beneprotein is covered by RAMQ? I was just informed by my NUT that it is, however she claimed that some patients have a hard time by the pharmacist claiming it's not. She also claimed that this is considered medication that may also be covered by private insurance if not covered by RAMQ.

Before I start calling and making my self crazy with RAMQ and/or my insurance..has anyone had experience with this?

I am sooooo happy I didn't take the vanilla ! Every time I have ever tried any form a nutritional shake in Vanilla it was also horrible! Glad you were able create a concoction that makes it bearable :-)

I took 2 boxes of chocolate and 2 boxes of strawberry. Each on their own were not bad, however when I decided to mix half chocolate half strawberry..delish!!

Surgery in 6 days!! woo hoo!!

Congrats to you too on your upcoming surgery..Good luck !

Topic: RE: Dr. Neville from Montreal?

Hi Nerak,

 

I had my surgery on Sept 19 and Dr. Neville was amazing!  She was so nice ... I started to cry in the OR and she held my hand and rubbed it until they put me out.  I was operated on a Thu and she came to visit that afternoon, and the next few days I was in. 

You'll love her! 

 

Good luck :)

Hi! Congratulations on  your surgery coming up. I am in Ottawa and the preop diet is three weeks of Optifast. I took vanilla and they are horrible!!!! BUT they can be rescued by making them with decaf coffee and ice or 2 tbsp of cooking cocoa. Most people seem to prefer the chocolate and lord I wish I had chosen chocolate too!
