"i suffer with pcos which is one main cause of my weight gain. i am a terrible 16 stone 1 but throughout all the exercise and diet i&#039;m doing. my weight has just stabilized and i&#039;m lucky if i can loose 1 pound in 3 months. my doctor has recommended orlistat so i will be going back on tuesday to collect it. i have heard good results about it so i&#039;m hoping this will be for me because its my last resort, apart from a gastric bypass (i don&#039;t want surgery). i will keep you updated. fingers crossed."
