"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."

"Xenical is great!! On 3 months I lost 30 pounds, never gained it back! I'm doing it again, my goal is 30 or 40 more. Side effects... true, but you learn how to handle it!"
