Oil can sometimes leak when your standing, etc. | Im only on the first week of taking xenical & Im hoping it is working. I've been watching my diet and I lost almost 5lbs. The only thing I would say about this pill is what you've read already. Its unpleasant when you have use the restroom and oil comes out. I went shopping the other day and felt wet from behind & rushed home to prevent embarassment. Oil comes out even when you pass gas. Wiping w/ tissue alone doesn't remove the oiliness of your butt, so I would recommend having wet wipes. I usually just take showers after I use the restroom. | F | 20 | 4 days 2X day | 10/12/2011 | 5 | assist weight loss | bad bad , if you dont stick to the rules," low fat low calories." organge stool, soiled underwear , pressure to go to the toilet, overall not pleasant.... but self inflicted | it works, as the side effects encourage you to eat low fay low calorie food. is this not what weight loss is all about, and if you have been a little naughty on you food intake, you can get ride of the extra fat throught the pill | F | 60 | 80 days 3X day | 10/11/2011 | 3 | to lose weight | light headedness,oily stools | i was taking xenical for approx 3 weeks,i also have epilepsy,underactive thyroid,arthritis and ibs,i was well impressed with the weight loss as i lost 7lbs in 3 weeks,i was feeling a little lightheaded while taking the tablets,then 1 morn i ended up being rushed into hospital as the tablets had caused my heart to enlarge and i kept passing out,since that happened i have been having some very bad chest pains i am now having tests done to find out why. | F | 40 | 3 weeks 3X day | 9/29/2011 | 2 | To lose weight because i am obese | Constipation, no oily or fatty stool, no weight loss at all :( | I have been taking xenical for around 3 weeks but there is no oily stool. Im just concerned because when i took it last year, i lost good weight, around 8 kgs in a month. I am not losing even a single kilo even though im goin to the gym regularly and dieting.

I really need some suggestions :( | F | 25 | 3 weeks 120mg 3X day | 9/17/2011 | 3 | to lose weight | oily bowels | i only took 1 tablet of xenical, after a meal. it took effect on me after 24 hrs i would like to know if it is really effective. pls message me. | F | 23 | 1 days 30mg 1X day | 9/11/2011 | 3 | Lose weight | Light headed, oily stools and hungry | I've been taking xenical for approx 1 year and I find that I am able to maintain my weight lose from a previous low fat diet. I have not gained any weight but can eat a bit more. Only problem I have is that I feel much more hungry now because of the frequent bowel movements that are sometimes 3 times a day. Then you feel light headed and tired as it wears you out. I worry that I'm not keeping any good vitamins in my system. I think it's good for short term use and after you have already been dieting but don't kid yourself, you will not lose a large amount of weight on this pill and you will be broke. Buy a pack of and keep them for emergencies only, like when you had a night of cheating every now and then or if you are going on a trip, tuck a few in your suitcase. | F | 45 | 1 years 30mg 1X day | 9/6/2011 | 3 | need to loose about 3 stone | no side effects really with it been early bit of a headache | hope they work, but still not sure of all foods to eat, need to learn more on lo fat foods | F | 43 | 2 days 120mg 3X day | 9/3/2011 |
