"i tried orlistat years ago but was ignorant towards its use (not controlling fatty foods and having lovely sunset yellow accidents), so gave it up. i have struggled with pcos (poly cystic ovaries syndrome) since the age of 17 and one of my symptoms has been weight. always been overweight and when i do diet and exercise the hormonal imbalance will make it harder to lose the ib&#039;s and i gain muscle instead. after two kids its become harder to lose any weight and decided to go back to prescribed orlistat. 
now 4 days in, bloated, flatulance, no accidents, looser stools and bloatness goes away after relieving myself. not weighed myself yet. (2nd day i felt dizziness, but no more). i&#039;m careful with fat consumption and try not to snack in between meals."
