For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "Im 33 and I've just been prescribed Xenical today and plan to start using it first thing in this morning. The comments posted have given me some confidence for using this drug. I just don't look forward to the extra bathroom visits. I will keep on using the website and who knows this time next year I will be on my way to my target weight. Starting at 242 lbs and target is 185 lbs."

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I found xenical while googling weight loss pills in a desperate need to loose weight. My first 3 days I experienced my first side effect but in the 8 days I've been on it I noticed if I don't eat fatty foods I won't get the bad side effects. So I've been on it for 8 days and lost 2 kgs and 5 inches off my waist. Don't know if its me not eating fatty food or the pill but I think its both. Mind you I only take it an hour after dinner. I'm happy with the way its going so far."

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "Ive been with slimming world (SW) for over a year, I lost nearly 15kg (33lb) and still have 15kg to go. My wight lose ground to a stop as I have done so many times before but this time decided not to give up. I'm using xenical along with SW and lost 2kg in my first week. I have not had any of the side effects but SW is low fat anyhow. I have underactive thyroid RA and OA. I have had 2 knee and 1 hip replacements, 1 toe fusion 1 trapeziectomy in the last 3 years. Fingers crossed losing the weight will also help my poor joints. I would recommend it along with a low fat low carb diet. It is not a miracle cure but if you help yourself it will give you that little extra boost"

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I've only been on this a week but I can honestly say I've had zero side effects. In saying that it has made me very, very careful what I'm popping in my mouth! This week I've lost 4.5lbs. My aim is to lose 3 stone so some way to go, but it's going to be a journey and I know that - but I know it will also be worth it!"

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I found Xenical worked wonders. I went from a size 16 to a comfortable size 12 in a couple of months. I was walking a lot and watching my calorie intake as well. After going off the medication, I did put it all back on plus some. Although, I'm back on the medication and trying again with more of a future plan after coming off Xenical."

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I have been using this for just over 2 weeks now and lost 6 pounds. The side effects are there but not really bad%u2026.unless you eat the wrong things! It has helped me already see which food are more fatty than others. I have had no accidents etc but then I know if I go off having a curry/Chinese then yes, I will. I want to loose another 2 stone in 3 months and my doctor is positive I can. Just remember, it%u2019s not a miracle drug you must work with it by cutting down on fatty foods and portions as well as exercising. Good luck."

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I started this 5 days ago in desperation at age 43 and weigh 15 stone 5 pounds. Gained 3 stone through grief in last 9 months. Also am in my 40s and have borderline thyroid. I have lost 6 pounds in 5 days, and i have eaten 3 meals a day no snacking and nothing major exercise wise just walked 1 hour per day at normal pace. I have had tasty dinners and healthy brekkie and lunch. The orange fat has been coming out days 1 to 2 were the worst of it. I seem to have better control now. Can't wait to see if I lose any more weight next week. Good luck, everyone."

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I have been using xenical since more than 15 days and it is showing very little effect on me. I noticed the oil execretion in the stool for 3 to 4 times during the whole past period. My weight didn't change also. However, I know some people who are using xenical, and they are getting rid of a lot of oil; though they are talking only 1 pil per day; unlike me who is talking a pil with each meal..."

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I honestly can't remember how long I've been on Xenical , about close to two months I'm guessing. I've had the oily poo but it does depend on what I eat. I haven't been exercising but I know I've lost some weight. I'm just too scared to check how much. From tomorrow I'm going to make sure that I'm walking more and exercising as well."

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I starting taking xenical a week ago at 83.2kgs Jumped on scales today and down to 81.2 can't believe it. I have had the orange oily motions only in the mornings and can't fart in bed in case of accident happening. But apart from that no other side effects. Might start multi vitamin at night as I'm a shift worker before bed just to give me a bit more energy. Got 3 months supply but hopping can keep going for another 3 months after wanting to get down to 65."

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "Started taking Xenical 1 week ago and lost 7lbs in one week. Haven’t yet had any form of accidents, however I have completely changed my diet to low fat and added 45 minutes of walking 5 days a week. I did experience headaches for a few days, which have now completely passed. I have been eating 1,200 calories daily (roughly) and found this to help. Have also experience constipation if taken with a meal that’s between 2-5g of fat."

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I've been taking Xenical for over a week now. I am on a low fat, healthy diet and I want to speed the process of losing a few more kilos before my summer holidays. Despite being on a healthy diet I have to say that I've had oily stools and accidents. So far, no major weight loss."

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "Brilliant from Wednesday to Sunday on this I lost 3.5kgs which is 7lb!! I have none of the bowel problems people have complained about and no issues at all with the medication. I was worried as I usually struggle with new tablets but these are great no side effects for me. For reference I'm 5ft 8 inch and I was 91.5kg and I'm now 88kg in 5 days, obviously some will be water weight but I'm very happy"

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I have just started xenical on 21/07/2017. This is day 2 and I have not experienced any side effects whatsoever. Makes me wonder if it will really work on me. I have also started diet for fools so no carbs and really low fat. I have started a jogging regime for 30mins per day. I will weigh myself in a weeks time to check the progress then I will rate. I currently weigh 73kgs and my height is 4. 7."

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I've been using psyllium fiber for several months. But after I suspended from using it my metabolic system seems to require more fiber input. I actually gained weight in a faster rate. Now I'm still taking fiber supplement but it helps only in maintaining my weight. Not anymore on losing some fat (i guess). I'm giving a try with Xenical in my hope to lose for at least 3 kgs. . Good luck to us!"

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I was taking xenical around 10 years ago and eat some garlic to treat flu like symptoms. On that day I got very, very sick and vomited badly and had some blood coming out and I was left with blood taste in my mouth for a day or so. People say that we feel what's going on in our body. At the time I felt that I have had some kind of thrombosis inside my stomach and was worrying about something wrong with my pancreas. I told my doctor about this but she said nothing or not further investigation was done. I was very scared and I stopped taking Xenical. I now have strong pain in my stomach and test done shows that I have developed a cavernous transformation due to a blockage in the portal vein close to head of the pancreas."

In 2 years I have gained a bit over 40 pounds~ Finally the Dr gave me something to help me and this being my 4th morning of Xenical I am down 7.2 pounds eating 3 times a day Low Cal No Sugar .. No side affects thank goodness. Head is feeling better and I have noticed my achy bones are not giving me such a hard time this morning! Side note : eating roughly 1200 calories and maxing at 26 grams of fat daily no snacking so far."

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I've been using xenical for 8 days and have lost 3kg. I didn't go to the toilet for 2 days and immediately I ate high fibre food, it got me going. I think it is better to also eat high fibre diet. I also have been walking 6000 steps and more."

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "My BMI is 31 and I'm 91kgs. Today is my day 5 taking Xenical and no yellow stool or expelling any kind of fat or discharge. The only thing I'm noticing is gassy stomach I fart a lot. I'm exercising and watching what I eat. But I feel like maybe it's not working for me, there's no sign that I'm expelling excessive fat. What is your take on this? less side effects or simply not working for me. Help I'm confused"
