For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "This medicine helped me lose 13 pounds in 3 weeks. Still I have to lose 47 pounds to be in perfect BMI range. No side effects so far, may be because I don't eat oily/fatty food much."

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I've been on Xenical for nearly a week. Strangely, my stools are no different than before taking it, and my journeys to the toilet are normal. Is this normal? I'm sticking to the 5g fat per 100g rule so I will update later on any weight loss."
