Hi everyone
I lost 2.5 stones on xenical about 3 years ago by getting it through Boots (£125 every 3 months, got down to 18.5 stone from close to 21 stone), I plateaued and couldn't justify the expense when I had lost only a lb in over a month using it, so stopped buying it. At the time my GP wouldn't give it to me (they were awful and I've recently moved so I am in the process of getting a new GP - they can't be as bad!)
However, I'd like to give it a try again. I lost a lot more weight using the Cambridge diet, but have piled it all back on almost as fast as I lost it, whereas I didn't do that with xenical. I go on holiday in a couple of weeks, but after I get back I'd like to try to get onto xenical again. I don't think Boots still do it. Do you all get it from your GP, or is there another source that I can get it through? (I know there are some websites, but they are expensive and possibly dodgy). This is a just in case measure in case my new doctors get funny about prescribing it too.
I have 7 stones to lose so I need all the help I can get!
