I take Xenical the prescription form of Alli and have done for 6 months. I've lost 42lbs in those 6 months, plus 23 the 3 months prior. The only effects I've experienced is increased gas (which I still sometimes get) and occasional looseness and frequency - I've never had orange grease, leakage, uncontrollable bowel movements etc. My doctor told me if I'm eating right these things will not happen and she was right.

I too felt like you at first that the medication was not working cause I couldn't see any effects. 8lb loss in the first 12 days was my evidence it worked.

I hope it works for you as it has for me.

Kitty
