Default Lap band for me?

I have PCOS and CANNOT lose weight. I have tried every diet, have been to countless nutrionists, specialists, ran multiple test, been on various weight loss meds and nothing. I can get to a certain # on the scale and no matter how I eat, good or bad, it never moves below that. Unfortunately it is 230lbs. The craziest thing is that I am very strict with what I eat an workout all the time. I am at the gym at least 5 days a week for 1-2 hours each day. I have switched up the workouts to see if that would help, but to no avail it deosn't. I have been consistent with exercise for 2 years now. My health has drastically improved, but only on the inside. On paper I look great, that is until you look at my weight. I have been thinking about lap band and know my Dr. would recommend it. My BMI is not 40, but I also have sleep apnea, and with the PCOS I am hoping insurance can approve it. The other problem is insurance.......... My husband was laid off from work in December and is eagerly waiting a phone call to come back. In the meantime we are without insurance!!! All my prescriptions are running out and we cannot afford to fill them. I am off YAZ already and my byetta is next. I am so obsessed with losing weight. I am set to pursue this when insurance is back, could anyone offer advise, inspriation, comments, ect.

Thanks a ton!
