    Never heard of any of that being covered by insurance

    If it's any help I have blue cross blue shield ppo. They said supplements (shakes) are considered food so not covered. I count all that stuff as part of the sleeve expense.

    I just buy my shakes at Costco. No insurance coverage, though that would be cool!

    You'll be saving money on food.

    I want to lose weight, do you think such shakes can help?

    Sounds like a good idea, we all need protein.

    @raevazquez Please let me know if you found out how your insurance can cover protein shakes. I never thought of that honestly, and now that I've seen someone talk about it, I hope there's a way. Because these things are quite pricey
