Guest guest Posted April 15, 2004 Report Share Posted April 15, 2004 I was on it for a while. It did not help me. I did not get the lovely side effect from it; had no trouble with it at all. Well, save that it did not work as expected part. Hopefully someone else will have a positive answer for you since we are all different. a Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 15, 2004 Report Share Posted April 15, 2004 > Has anyone tried Xenical to lose weight? Kat, I took Xenical for around 6 months, back in 1998/99 and had modest success, but no more so than from being careful diet wise without it. My insurance did not cover it and it was several hundred dollars a month-you take several tablets a day (3)- maybe they would cover it now, since I am now " officially " diabetic. Some people suffer from gas/bloating/diarrea, and you must be very careful about fat consumption to avoid these side affects. gail Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 15, 2004 Report Share Posted April 15, 2004 My sister used to be on Xenical. It helped her lose weight. I don't think she takes it anymore though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read an article where Xenical helps people with diabetes to lose weight. It says the side effect is diarrhea, but I am always constipated anyway so I figure it could help me double.
