No, no point. Why would you resort to fat loss pills when you just underwent WLS? The whole purpose here is to learn how to eat and how to life a lifestyle that allows you to maintain a healthy weight. No fat blocker is going to teach you that. WLS isn't about fast weight loss and if Alli works, why did you even get banded to begin with?

No way. The "treatment effects" should be enough to scare anyone away! I heard it might be taken off the market anyway.

Why would you need Alli it removes fat from the food you eat and you should be on a low fat diet. Your body has to have some fat to sustain. Why have surgery when you could have just used that SMDH

There is a class action lawsuit against Alli. I can't remember where I heard it .... T.V.?

If any of these OTC diet products worked the U.S. would be full of skinny people :)

I agree, that's what your band is for. It seems slow at times but work with your band and it will come off.

Even the bottle states "may cause oily anal leakage" enough said! My sister tried it for a short time.. there is something wrong with driving around with an extra set of clothes in your trunk "just incase". And yes she was glad she did, after needing them once she stopped it.

There are at least two doctors in Colorado that will do it for under 10K. My doctor, Dr. Kirshenbaum of lapbandrockies.com is great. $9950 for everything, done in the USA - hospital, anesthesia, etc. He has done over 800 surgeries and only two slipped bands to date. Also, you get free fills for the first three months, then for a discount thereafter. Lots of information on his website.

Wrong post, lol.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
