Xenical Anyone?

I asked this in with my last post... but trying to get more response....
Has anyone tried Xenical?
I was just prescribed it last week.... and have been taking it.... its NOT covered by my drug plan... and super expensive, if it works... its worth it to me!
So far, I've really been watching my intake of food and calories... also fat.... and thats what it takes out of my food.... and passes the fat right through... wondering if anyone has used this or knows anyone..... thats had any results......
thanks again!!!!!
 

I have used Xencial it worked for a short time and but this was before all the lifestyle changes.  I haven't used it in a number of years and found making the lifestyle changes the clinic recommends and then having surgery has worked better for me.  Although when I used this drup I didn't have the knowledge I now have.  I also found it crazy exspensive for the amount of weight I lost on it.  Good luck though I hope it works for you.

Hi there,

I've used Xenical before too... at the start of my weight loss program. I didn't like it at all... It caused such bad diareaha. I was scared to go anywhere. I could tell that it was taking the fat out of my food, cuz it was all coming out... lol..

I didn't like the cost of it... I didn't like the effects of it...

I didn't like that it wasn't teaching me anything and I thought that 'this is just like all the other, quick fixes'. It wasn't worth the cost... in two and a half months, I only lost 6 lbs with just Xenical.

I guess it's everyone's own choice but I stopped taking it after about 3 months.

I tried this drug several years ago. No, it was not covered and I spent hundreds when I  tried it for about four months. I had already been for a long time on a low fat diet so all it did for me was a few orange dots (Fat) in the toilet now and then. I didn't loose a pound.....I wished I'd saved my$$$.....

i have tried the Xenical... and i hated it..  I watched my fat intake while on it and it didnt matter what i ate... Every FART i passed.. there was oil.... i remember being in the grocery store once.. and i had to leave my cart because i had to go home.  I had to carry extra clothes and sit on a towel in the car cause you dont know when it was going to happen. I tried it for about 4 months *as after many many forms it was covered about 80% through my husbands work*  I found just exercising more.. eatting my 3 meals and 2 snacks.. watching  how often i went out to eat ... and drinking more water..  that it was better for me in the long run. I dont wanna have to rely on a drug to do ANYTHING  that i can do for myself.
