Question OH Event
Has anyone ever been to an OH (Obesity Help) event? I have a ticket to the Philly event in October and am curious/excited.

What can I expect? I've been to Star Trek Conventions but never a WLS convention. Is anyone else from this site going to be there?

Alt Weight Loss Surgery Insurance
Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery.
Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.

I have never been either. I would guess there would be hundreds of booths with various vitamin and supplement suppliers and surgeons and insurance companies.

I thought about the LA OH convention, but decided against it...too much emphasis on plastics, and I am not interested in that.

To get a half price ticket use code MeltingEgg08 The ticket will cost $20 instead of $40.

Hope to see you there.

i went to an OH even in Pittsburgh in July. I enjoyed it. Lots of vendors with free samples to try, different speakers, and give-aways. Hope you have a great time!

There is one in AZ in September- I have contemplated going......my concern was that there was a lot of press that seemed geared towards people who haven't had the surgery yet......I want something for post ops- if anyone knows, do tell!
