Ok, so I'm trying to pluck up the courage to ask my doctor for Orlistat. I've been thinking about it for a long time but the thought of asking makes me nervous.
I've got about 6 stone to lose overall and my BMI is about 34 right now so I think I'm a suitable candidate.
I'm doing slimfast and I've read a few people online have had great results combining the two.
Can anyone enlighten me as to how they approached it with their doctor? What kind of questions did the doctor ask you and were they happy to prescribe it without any trouble or was it like getting blood from a stone lol.
I usually don't have any trouble losing weight, it's keeping it off that I struggle with. But I had a baby 6 months ago and I've found it impossible to shift this time. I'm also really embarrassed because I was weighed at the beginning of my pregnancy (just over a year ago) and I'm about four stone heavier now!
