The magical thing about LL, and this is what drugs will never do for you, is the classes or groups, here you confront your issues with food and work through them to understand why you abuse food in the way you do, through the use of CBT and TA. Sharing the experiences with others going through exactly the same thing is also incredibly helpful. No drug will ever give you this, this is what helps you maintain your weight loss. If I were you, unless you really want to use Orlistat, i would seek a second opinion and try and get another doctor to sign your forms. Sorry if I sound like I am on my soap box where LL is concerned but it has changed my life completely - I am a new person!!
Good Luck whatever your choice
