| 5 | To Lose Weight | I have been taking Xenical since late May and I before then my weight was 425lbs, now my current weight is 368lbs and I am just so blessed that this pill is working. I am really determined to lose the weight and this pill has been a great aid in doing so. Yes, I have the oily stool but you take the bitter with the sweet you know?~~~ | I say to anyone who is serious about losing weight, this is a wonderful companion to your dedication and willpower because the pill wont work a miracle on it's own, you have got to change your habits. | F | 32 | 3 months | 8/7/2007 | 5 | very overweight. | Very windy, urgent need to use toilet. | I was prescribed these tablets by my GP last week, as I told him I find it very hard to lose weight on my own, I tend to binge eat regularly. Also,as a big help, they are free on prescription if you live in Wales, UK, as all prescribed medication is now. I also joined WW on the same day as I started them, so it gives me more motivation not to eat a high fat diet. I don't think the side effects would bother me too much, it's a small price to pay for the outcome. | F | 39 | 6 days | 11/6/2007 | 5 | obese 94kg,need to lose at least 25 | bloating, diahorrea once | It took 2 weeks for me to experience side effect-diahorrea,after i ate fatty meal-next morning. Just wanted to check if it works:) 1st week-no weight loss after 2 weeks - 2 kgs, and in 3rd week I lost 1 more kg, i eat helthy, and never felt better in my life/ | F | 28 | 21 days | 12/7/2008 | 5 | Constipation caused by other meds | Works on your gut, so the hypochondriacs complaining of headaches, that is 100% psychosomatic. As long as you do not eat more than the recommended fat, there are no side effects. If you do exceed the daily fat allowance, you may have oily stools and/or discharge. Even when it happened, I had no issues getting to the toilet in time. Perhaps if you eat a massive amount of fat or have poor control of your bowels, it may be an issue. I was prescribed this drug for constipation. I was moderately overweight (5 foot 8 inches tall and 160lbs) when starting this drug and lost 15lbs. which was a nice bonus. | As it is a WEIGHT LOSS drug, I find it funny that fat people are whining about the side effects when they do not follow the diet. No wonder these people cannot lose weight, they clearly blame extraneous factors for their own failures. | F | 40 | 100 days 1 pill 2X day | 11/5/2020 | 5 | Obesity | I started taking Xenical in November, 2014 with the goal of losing 40 pounds. I have lost 35 to date. I have had the usual effects of loose and frequent stools and elimination of oil usually about 48 hours after a high fat meal. Side effects are body doesn't efficiently absorb fat soluble vitamins A, D, E and K | I have had no diarrhea or other discomfort with this medication. I take extra fibre every day (eg. sprinkle some on my cereal in morning) and before bed I take a multi vitamin and extra vitamin D to give my body the vitamins it may not be absorbing during the couple of hours the drug is effective. | F | 70 | 120 2X day | 9/11/2015 | 5 | Weight loss | I started these a week ago and have already lost 6ib, however xmas dsy was a nightmare due to me over eating I spent nearly the whole day on the loo. I'm sure my in laws thought I was making myself sick lol. Overall I'm doing well so spending the day on the loo was worth it. | These will make you poo a lot if you over eat. I've not pooed myself always managed to make it to the loo in time. | F | 50 | 7 days X3 a day | 12/26/2015 | 5 | Due to obesity | Still no side effects and nurse has confirmed today that this is a good thing. Bad side effects that most people are experiencing are due to them not following the plan. | Well I got my weigh in today and it has been around 1 month since my first weigh in and I have lost 16lbs. This is massive and the nurse was extremley impressed. It proves you have to work hard to get your results and this is the result. You have to make the changes and stick to them. It doesn't work over night. | F | 31 | 26 days 120 1X day | 4/26/2012 Patient History | 5 | Obesity | skin rush, oily discharge | I've been taking Xenical last year and it WORKED perfect.
