I am in the beginning stages of learning about the lapband procedure. I am going to an educational seminar today to find out more about it. I wonder if I would be a candidate. I have gone through Weight Watchers, Sparkpeople.com and Jillianmichaels.com along with now TOPS (Take off Pounds Sensibly) and still just cannot lose any weight. I will be motivated to exercise and eat right and drink the water and then I see no results so I give up. I wonder if there is anyone out there who has gone through what I am going through. I hope I pass the psych eval if I am a candidate. I have obstructive sleep apnea, and the last time we checked I was borderline for hypertension. I also have asthma. I do smoke and know that I need to quit a good bit before the surgery so I'm taking Chantix to help me stop smoking.I used to be thin and fit but after my 2nd baby all that has gone away and with an array of medications I take for emotional disorders I have just put on a ton of belly fat mainly. We are checking my cortisol levels and all of that to see if something is out of balance.Wish me luck at the seminar.And good luck to all of you!lilruby77
