Anyone use Alli while being banded?

detroitgirl · May 19, 2008

I am just curious if anyone out there uses the weight loss pill Alli while being banded or has anyone's doctor advised them not to while being banded?

Thanks!

Doc suggested I try it due to slow weight loss. I tried it for about a week but didn't like the messy side effects. I made sure that during that week I was consuming less than 1200 calories and less than 25 grams of fat each day, but the side effects were still too messy for me...

Messy, is a nice word to explain the impact it had on me. If you do try it, do not try to pass gas unless you are on a toilet "period." The consequences are just too awful to relay in words. If you do want to try it, buy some panty liners....no wait, buy the pads designed for overnight use!!! Otherwise you will be buying all new panties and pants, and do not try passing gas while seated on a couch or chair cuz it will go right thru clothing and stain the seat!!!! I took it pre and post band and it didn't really even have a good enough effect on weightloss for me to continue taking it.
