obesity
"Just on obesity cusp by less than 2lbs was prescribed Orlistat. I got a terrible stomach ache within a week, kept passing out and couldn't eat.

My liver levels were tested they came in at 138 liver disease occurs at 110 for a non drinker not good. I could not eat at all for a week the medication I had obviously abruptly discontinued. Eventually I started to improve.

In total I lost 7lbs. Unsure as to whether it was Orlistat, starvation or illness through Orlistat.

I thought I was going to die, but I have re started the medication in the hope to lose weight.

Worth the risk? Only if the obesity is going to result in your death.
