Hi all!

I'm so glad I found this site. I've been thinking about getting the O Band surgery for months and months. I've been on every diet in the world, still I'm 270 pounds. I've been a vegan for the past few months and haven't lost anything.....

I've lost and gained the same 50 pounds so many times it's unbelievable. I have Health Net Insurance and I'm not sure if they cover the surgery, but I sure hope so. I'm planing on going to a seminar in the next couple of weeks.

What kind of side affects are there from the surgery? I have a difficult time with constipation (since birth, believe it or not) so I take about 60 grams of Fiber a day plus over 1 liter of Water a day....has anyone had problems with taking fiber?? Or any Vitamins for that matter??

How long did everyone have to wait for approval from insurance companies?

Oh, I have so many questions...sorry.

If anyone wants to e-mail me directly with their story, feel free:
