Hello I've been a lurker of the boards for some-time and never actually joined until now as I want to get back into losing weight. Back in 2003 I had my gallbladder removed and two years ago I was told to try Alli by my mother.
I didn't see anything on the warning label about side affects if you didn't have a gallbladder.
Two weeks into taking it I began to have horrible sharp pains in the lower abdomen on the right side. I thought at first my appendix had burst. I panicked as the pains got worse and called to make an appointment for the Doctors the following day. I went in and got looked at and found out I cannot take those weight loss pills because I don't have a GB.
So my question is does ANYONE know of something that is SAFE to take if you lack the GB? I used to take Slim Quick years ago and it helped me out in trying to shed some pounds, but I'm afraid to take even that as none of the labels list anything about side affects for people who don't have a GB.
Any Help or advice would be great! ^_^
