Xenical side effects.

My good old GP suggested this week that I should take these capsules that stopped the absorption of fat into your body. I believe you can buy them under the trade name Alli, but they are basically Orlistat. As I am unable to take much exercise he thought they would help. Should any of you be tempted to go down this road, firstly move everything you could conceivably need over the next 3 days into the bathroom, secondly, lay in a HUGE supply of Andrex, and thirdly buy copious amounts of air freshener I apologise for the indelicacy of this topic, but forewarned is fore armed! :shock: :roll:
P.S. I intend to have new notelets printed, which instead of saying "From the desk of" will explain exactly where I am, lol. :wink:

Hi Karen, have had to stop taking them after only one week, the side effects were really too severe to continue. I can see how they would work, I was disappearing visibly, :lol: but unfortunately I was dehydrating also, so decided to give up! As for going out, thank heavens I am retired, as leaving the house was a complete no-no

Humph, my fat intake is already very low, but [excuse the indelicacy], my neighbour who is an 80 year old Cornishman, said the other day, "Maid, you'm farting like a steer", not an ego boosting comment! :shock: I laughed so much I nearly cried. :roll:
