"i&#039;ve been on xenical/orlistat for 5 days and have lost 3.1kg (about 6lb)! i&#039;m really, really happy with the results. i&#039;ve had a gastric band 2 and half years but then gained all the weight (20kg) back when i went on antidepressants (citalopram), which then made me feel more depressed as no matter what i did the weight just wouldn&#039;t budge - which is very common with anti-depressants.
i finally quit the meds and noticed i was gaining more weight after. let&#039;s note i did not eat more than a &#039;fist&#039; portion, as my stomach just cannot physically take it, so it wasn&#039;t the food,  just my metabolism that basically went on a full year strike.
anyway, i had to turn to orlistat as a last resort but i am loving it! finally something&#039;s working!!"
