Thread: new to xenical

well found out a few days before my appt was not seeing my usual nurse , and i said to my fella i bet she wont give me the tabs had trouble with this nurse before, anyway in i goes gets weighed had only lost 4 pounds should have done better so after checking my b/p which had gone up i asked for more tabs and she said no she you dont need them just diet on your own , and basically said she does not like giving out slimming pills, and its better to do it yourself, so totally fed up

aww sorry to here that hun...could you not make another appointment with someone elese there?

Can you not see the doctor rather than the nurse as he's the one who ok's it anyway

hi recent update contacted the docs and they told me to see the nurse , told the surgery manager what had gone on that i wasnt happy, so she told me to come in, the nurse wasnt happy that i had complained , and said she would weigh me every 2 weeks , anyway ended up seeing the doc over a different matter and mentioned the xenical and he has given me these other slimming pills to try there called methylcellulose has anyone heard of those

I'm confused she was upset bc you complained bc she wouldn't give you the medication you'd already been prescribed?! That makes no sense!

And nope sorry never heard of it what have you been told?! Xx

Hi hun, that medication is usually used for the bowels, to relieve constipation..for weight loss it's taken before a meal, around half an hour before, in the stomach, it turns to like a gel and causes it to swell so you feel fuller after eating. You might experience a more regular bowel motion. My aunt was on this for ibs and her colostomy.

That nurse doesnt sound very good, sorry your having a tough time getting through to these people!! Let us know how you get on with these new tablets, i have never heard of them before!!

hi will keep everyone updated and thanks for the support
