Why Choose Private Prescription for Post-Surgery Support?
Fast Access Without NHS Delays
Following gastric sleeve surgery, maintaining your weight management plan is crucial. Our private prescription service provides faster access to orlistat without NHS waiting lists or lengthy GP appointments. Complete your clinical assessment online and receive your prescription within 24 hours, subject to prescriber approval.
How Orlistat Supports Post-Gastric Sleeve Patients
Orlistat works by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption in your digestive system. After gastric sleeve surgery, this can provide additional support for weight maintenance alongside your reduced stomach capacity. The medication acts locally in the gut, helping prevent some dietary fat from being absorbed whilst you adapt to your new eating patterns.
Prescription Options and Pricing
We offer three orlistat formulations to suit different needs and budgets. Generic orlistat 120mg provides excellent value at £32.99 for 4 weeks (£29.69 with code EDM10). Branded Xenical 120mg costs £42.99 for 4 weeks (£38.69 with EDM10). Both contain identical active ingredients and clinical effects. Alli 60mg offers a lower-strength option at £28.99 for 4 weeks (£26.09 with EDM10).
Simple Online Consultation Process
Our streamlined process eliminates the need for GP appointments. Complete your medical questionnaire online, including details about your gastric sleeve surgery and current health status. A UK-licensed prescriber reviews your information and issues a prescription where clinically appropriate. Your medication is then dispensed by our Leicester-based GPhC-registered pharmacy and dispatched for next day delivery.
Important Considerations for Post-Surgery Use
Orlistat may be particularly suitable after gastric sleeve surgery as it works independently of stomach size, focusing on fat absorption in the intestines. However, careful monitoring of nutritional status is essential, especially fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, K). Your prescriber will assess whether orlistat is appropriate alongside your post-surgery dietary plan and any ongoing medical supervision.
Managing Side Effects Post-Surgery
The gastrointestinal side effects of orlistat may be more manageable after gastric sleeve surgery due to naturally reduced fat intake. Most patients experience fewer side effects when keeping meals low in fat content (approximately 15g per meal). Side effects like oily stools or increased bowel frequency typically reduce as your diet adapts and stabilises.
