Joined: Oct 2012 Posts: 8 | I got my feeding tube removed last week. I still have 8 and a half cases of 8oz cans as well as a box (one month) of individually sealed drip pole bags.
The formula is Pivot 1.5 made by Abbott. It's an odd formula and I had to have it shipped across the country for me. It's going to be a rare need but if someone is on this feed I'd be happy to arrange giving this to you. This stuff is $200+ a case so I hate for it to go to waste.
If you are interested just message me back. | | | | | Joined: Jun 2007 Posts: 10,507 Likes: 7 Administrator, Director of Patient Support Services Patient Advocate (old timer, 2000 posts) | | Administrator, Director of Patient Support Services Patient Advocate (old timer, 2000 posts)

Oley will match donors with needy patients who will send a money order to cover the cost of shipping. All you would need to do is wait for their call then take the supplies to the post office to ship. Ive used them, it works great! **** Anyone who would like to take advantage of Kelly's kindness, please send your personal contact info thru a PM. Oley Foundation Equipment Exchange

Joined: Oct 2012 Posts: 8 | I listed the formula with the Oley people, thanks for that link. The offer still stands here too. | | | | | Joined: Oct 2012 Posts: 8 Member | | OP Member
Joined: Oct 2012 Posts: 8 | Just to close this thread I managed to get rid of everything. The formula, pole and assorted equipment went to another cancer patient less than an hour away from me (best of luck girl!) and I got rid of the bags too.
Please guys if you have extra stuff consider trying to find it a home. We are in this together and when we help each other we all gain. | | |
