Does WV Medicaid help pay for any of the vitamins

or protein that that we have to use after surgery? Just trying to get a idea what to exspect. Tomorrow i go for my first consult with a surgeon. Wish me luck Debbie

I don't know but they may pay for b12 shot ,you will have to buy all vitamins i don't think inurance companys will cover that ,this is a big problem if you will not be able to afford the vitamins and protein mix doing this process because you will need this for the rest of your life.

thank you for responding, no i will manage. I had my first consult today. now to talk to my pcp and see how much he has on a 6 month diet, if not enough i start 6 months again. but thats ok. i have made a start. thanks again. Debbie

No. But there are some vitamins and minerals that can be prescribed and covered by your card. Ask your MD about them. Most will not unfortunately. Neither is the protein. My advice is to stock up on them early as you can afford them and look for sales. I rely on www.bulkfoods.com for my whey protein. The 90% pure isolated whey protein - unflavored is less than $40 for 5 lbs. This is almost pure white in color and tasteless. 5 lbs. will last you a long time. Lynn

Thanks so much for the reply. and thanks for the bulk link. as soon as i find out for sure that i am approved for surgery i will start stocking up. Debbie
