Obesity
"I had a very overweight friend whose doctor put her on orlistat, it really did work for her. She said that if she ate a fatty meal then at some point she would see that greasy oily leakage that the orlistat stopped from being absorbed into her body. She did start to eat healthier and lost more weight through that and the knowledge that if she fancied something a bit naughty food wise she had the orlistat to help. I do worry it&#039;s a bit of a comfort blanket for her as she doesn&#039;t believe she can lose the weight without having her orlistat to hand if needed. She looks pretty good now but still relies on her orlistat for &#039;bad days &#039; ."
