Osmolite is wonderful I just wish it wasn't getting so expensive. Im on a fixed income and I don't want to have to try and find something else.
it is okay
At this time in my life with a surgery gone completely wrong, this Osmolite is keeping me alive. Now over 5 years, it’s all I can really swallow. That is low in sugar but high in calories etc. I do not wish this on anyone.
only formula I can use
Thank you 🙏🏻 all for providing me with this necessity product at a price that I can manage. The insurance won’t pay for it because I didn’t want a peg in my abdomen anymore, they kept popping out. So I tried to swallow it. Because I’m drinking it, they won’t pay for it. Stupid isn’t it?
