Hi, In the UK, (don't know how different things are overseas) my GP has told me if I haven't lost 5% of body weight in three months i need to come off the Orlistat as they are not working-but I have lost nearly 5% of my body weight in the first four weeks.

After looking on this forum, it all works differently for everyone. But I would go by the advice of my GP, if you haven't lost a decent amount by end of three months of keeping to three tablets a day and eating sensibly between meals-you may need to try something else.

If you need a hand translating it into pounds-message me, I'll help you out
