Recommending Xenical?

[melmel]

Do you recommend Xenical to other people? Would you?

Do you even tell them that you are taking it? If you do, what do you say when they ask you about it?

I wouldn't recommend it until I'd lost significant weight and felt convinced xenical had helped.

I agree. I don't know if I'll tell people I'm on it or not. I might have no choice, of course, if I have problems with it. I once took a medication that caused a lot of gas for the first few days. Very embarrassing.

That's very wise. I think sometimes people are too quick to recommend something before they've actually had time to review it.

I might tell someone I'd heard or read about it, and let them decide whether to look into it.

You wouldn't tell them that you take it, though? Why not?

I think I might not tell them because I would be slightly embarrassed. Besides, it isn't appropriate to talk about.

I might not mention that I was taking anything just to avoid all the questions. I really don't want people to come up to me and ask personal questions about my bowel movements, and I think that's what would happen. More questions about the side effects than the benefits. That's why these forums are so great.

omigod, chocolate. I never thought of that. I think I'll be really quiet about it.

[maggie]

Yes, it isn't a subject I want to discuss a lot.

I think it depends who you are talking to about it. If you are alking to your partner or something, then it probably doesn't matter. I certainly wouldn't want to talk about my bowels to people at work, though.
