I've been taking this product for two years now. It was prescribed by my doctor after I stopped smoking and gained quite a bit of weight. I lost 60 pounds but also dieted vigorously and exercised regularly at the gym on the treadmill for 35 minutes. Oily discharge sometimes? you bet, but only when I ate meals with a high fat content. Couple bits of advice: if you feel like you need to fart, don't. You can't be sure of what will come out. Restrain yourself until you get to a toilet, just in case. Also, not only fried chicken and fried food have fat. Any kind of red meat has fat content. Rule of thumb for me is if calories from fat are high, I take a pill with the meal. This product is a lifesaver but it only works with diet and exercise.

I started taking Alli about two months ago to augment my diet and exercise program. I'm active, and with a BMI of 26, I just wanted to lose about 20 lbs that wasn't coming off with my fairly intense cardio routine and low-fat diet. I would take Alli as directed with meals containing some fat but rarely more than the suggested amount of fat. And I did experience the treatment effects with meals within the suggested fat allotment: frequent, oily stools, random oily discharge (very gross), and stomach pain about 45 minutes after eating. However, they weren't severe enough to make me stop taking the med. Over time, I didn't lose an ounce but kept taking the pill as directed, hoping that it would kick in over time. It didn't. And then I had a higher fat meal after taking one Alli pill. I know that the`treatment effects' are supposed to act like aversion therapy, but this was ridiculous. I ended up in the ER with crippling, stabbing stomach pain and dry-heaving. I had such a bad reaction that stomach pumping was treatment of choice. The ER doc suggested I throw the pills out as soon as I got home.
After recovering from the ER ordeal and promptly pitching the bottle of Alli (the aversion therapy didn't work to GlaxoSmithKline's advantage this time), I did a little bit of research and found that I was not the only one with adverse reactions requiring medical care. This med has been linked to pancreatitis, gall stones, and possibly colon cancer (research was kind of spotty on this). Will everyone react this way to the drug? Of course not. Every med has side effects and not everyone can tolerate certain drugs. However, I hope that people will consider the risks and weigh the benefits before spending quite a bit of money on something that may not work.
Overall, I ended up with nasty side effects, a considerable ER bill, and no weight loss. And for those it does work for, you may become dependent on the drug for continued weight loss or even weight maintenance (this is from the actual website)- quite a price to pay to lose 2 to 3 more pounds more than you would have with diet and exercise alone. If Alli works for you, awesome- more power to you. But before you buy, please read the fine print- the pill may cost you a lot more than you bargained for.

I've been taking Alli for about a month and a half now and I seem to be getting decent results. The included diet plan and exercise program are a nice touch too. I think the majority of people, myself included, who take these pills are not complete experts when it comes to truly eating healthy. Knowing what to eat is just as important as knowing what not to eat. As I've been following the Alli program I've greatly reduced my intake of fat and it has really helped me out with developing an exercise program. Unfortunately as easy as it was to reduce my eating of fatty foods is was the opposite for "carby" foods. While still consuming many carbs throughout the day my results of this product were greatly hindered and in the whole first month I was only able to drop a whopping 3 pounds. I read some discussions where people ran into the same problem and several users reported great results while combining Alli with a carb and starch blocking supplement called "Carb Stopper Extreme". I began using both products as a stack and since then I've lost a combined total of 16 pounds in one month. I would recommend this combination to anyone who is looking to enhance the results of Alli.

Works well, but what happened to the price??
5 star performance. Remember, it only works when you eat 15g or more of fat in a single meal, so save your capsules for when that will be the case. Read more

Outrageously expensive !! Twice what can be paid in the stores. If not for the Re-call and unavailability, I would have never spent that kind of money.

I did not lose any weight.
I could see the fat coming out in my poop, but I guess it wasn't enough to cause actual weight loss.
