So I am very over weight and my bmi is over 30. I called my doctor and asked if I can get weight loss medicine and I was expecting him to give me orlistat as I have been researching about it and stuff. But he said they dont prescribe anything because they do more bad than good and I dont know wjat to do now. I suffer from type 2 diabetes and I go gym but i dont loose anything. Can anyone help me😭
I only lost 10 lb in 6 months on them well a year next month but cause my weight stayed the same for 6 months I'm still 104 kilos and only other option will be surgery which I don't want I just feel like I'm never gonna loose it went gym also no weight loss so I dunno what to do either anymore x
Me either , i heard great results with orlistat and I just want to try it for myself. I get bullied and beaten up for being fat and I cant do.it anymore . The gp doesnt seem to carw and say they cant give me anything but thats a lie. I am diabetic and I will start injecting vicotza which will help with my weight but I really want more. I need orlistat 😭 i need help
Hi. I was offered orlisat by my GP after she complained my weight was creeping up every year. I started off at 106k I am now 94k. Orilsat does really work. You do have to have great portioncontrol. I find that I dont cut anything out I just cut it all in half. I also do circuit training once a week which is a great way to start to exercise. Ask a different GP and explain all your reasons, but I think the type 2 diabetes should be more than enough of a readon. Please do try again as it does work, but you will also have to put in the work!!
But how do I ask another gp? Do you mean another doctor i really need it i get bullied all the te and i hate it . I go gym and suffering from type 2 diabetes. I am going to call them and ask for another appointment omg how did you loose so mjcb weight so fast though ... i feel really fat and ugly. I hate it and the doctor doesnt care. I need orlistat 😭
i live in the UK and my gp wont give it to me for some reason
Maybe he feels your bmi ain't high enough x
Hi Laura, my last reply was deleted, probably because I mentioned a website and I suppose they saw that as advertising. All I wanted to say is that you can buy Orlistat on line quite safely from UK sourced sites. It's not cheap - around £35 for a month's supply, but if you can afford it why not try it for a month and see if it works for you. If so you could go back to the doctor with proof and ask for it on the NHS. Good luck!
Hi, I dont know why, but doctors dont seem to like to prescribe this medication. It does work, but you normally only get a short supply the first time to make sure it works for you and that you are putting in the effort fo help shift the pounds. It really is not a magic pill and there are some nasty side effects if you dont stick to a low fat diet. I still think yout GP should offer this to you. Did they give you a valid reason?You can also buy this from any chemist. Its not cheapthough. Please let me know how you get on
Try and get the GP to give you just a month first. I cant see the harm
Good Luck. Creamy
Laura you really should get a different doctor. I don't understand why some doctors almost make you beg for this help.
I have been on these pills for just over 6 months and I am now down from 118kg to 92kg. They have really helped me. But you do have to put the work in for them to work. Good luck. x
I know that I can control my portion sizes with the help of orlistat. I go to the gym 5 times a week and do yoga twvie a week. Here and there i so eat a little fat but just a little . However, from all that effort for the past 2 years , i havent had a huge difference only ever lost 2kg max. It makes me really angry as I am suffering from diabetes ans I am quite young so i dont want to live like this no more . I need these pills and hopefully will get them on the 10th , hopefully.
