Hello,
I started Orlistat last week as I'm currently overweight and have a hernia. They won't operate and correct the hernia until I've lost a fair amount.
I've been on SW since the end of Feb & have only lost 1st 2lb so hoping this gives me the boost I need.
Any success stories or people wanting to be weight loss buddies so we can motivate one another?
