I think its worth asking anyway. Even if you just get a couple of months supply to start you off. Doctors are very keen now to help with overweight issues, especially if you can show you're really trying to diet. I also think that if you're fat enough to be allowed to buy alli you should be fat enough to get a prescription for Xenical. Go ahead and ask. There is also a product called reductil available on prescription which is meant to be good, but you cant get them if you're on anti-depressants.
