I am considering weight loss surgery.. Either the lap band or gastrict bypass, where should i start, expect?

5'11, 295 pounds, lots of sweating, sleep apnea, risk of heart disease

You do not sound so overweight where it is morbidly obese. You know these procedures are the extreme and for extreme cases. I suggest you trying a diet and excercise program and speaking to a doctor first, to get a professional opinion.

Those are not procedures that should be taken lightly. Even if you had one of those done, you would have to diet and excercise anyway.
