My family doctor says that the side effects of Xenical are similar to Roux-en-Y Surg.

My family doctor says that the side effects of Xenical are very similar to the post-op effects of the Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass Surg. Is this true? She said that she wants me to try Xenical first, to see if I'm going to be able to handle the post-op effects of the surg.(like dirreha, the dumping syndrome, ect.) I went to see the surgeon before talking to my PCP, and did ALOT of research on the surg, and finally decided that I wanted to go for the surg. But when I went to see my PCP about it, it took her only 15 minutes to shoot all of my hopes down. PLEASE e-mail me with ANY comments. [email protected] Thanks!
