"I have fatty liver and was 16 st 7 lbs. Been on Orlistat for almost 2 months and have lost 1 st 7 lbs. Totally cut out all the crap and eating healthy now. So, used correctly, Orlistat really DOES work."

"I absolutely love this medicine. It encouraged me to get moving and start exercising. I guess my genes impacted my obesity, so when you are obese, you could have visceral fat too, and that's very dangerous and can have cardiovascular side effects. I went through the side effects, and now I'm a happier person. The medicine is not the cause, but the hand when I'm drowning in no interest in activities simply because I got tired and my muscles feel stiff, but right now my heart thanked me for being on this medicine. I don't care about the futuristic hype behind this medicine, but I'm simply starting to self-medicate with exercise (aerobic exercise) instead of doing opioids and just want to feel the void. Give it a try!"

"I don't recommend this medicine for anyone. I stopped taking Alli (which is over-the-counter orlistat) after experiencing pain in my upper abdomen. This medication causes liver damage! I wish someone would have told me. I have seen specialists after specialists to determine what is wrong with me. You shouldn't take it! Also, I was diagnosed with H. pylori. This bacteria, in rare cases, causes stomach."
