Has anyone tried a "Fat Blocker" before choosing surgery?

I have tried Phen-Fen, with success but now illegal. Meridia, with no success and Adipex, with no success. Now one of my doctors wants me to try Xenical when it comes out, a fat blocker. I have been researching surgery and have made up my mind to go for it. My doctor has suggested surgery also, but he wants to give Xenical a chance first. My question is three-fold: I'm tired of wasting money on drug therapies that don't work. Am I wasting my time contemplating on another weight loss drug? And does anyone have any info on Xenical/fat blockers? Can anyone let me know their luck with drug therapies before the chose surgery? Thank-you!
