Does anyone have any experience with alli helping with fatty liver disease? I have read 1 study were there showed great improvement with the prescription strength orlistat. Just wanted to see if there was anyone out there with personal knowledge. 

 Hi G,

Thank you for posting this.  I sure would like to know what the Alli experts have to say.  I'm on blood pressure meds and also Vitorin for cholesterol, both of which I'd like to stop taking eventually.  6 months ago, my doctor sent me for an ultrasound and then to a surgeon for a consultation about fatty deposits on my liver.  He told me it wasn't all that serious and that I simply need to lose weight.  He said that organs get fat just like any other part of the body.   So here I am, losing weight.  When I started Alli in mid June, I cut the Vitorin, don't tell my doc :-) in half.  Interestingly, my blood work last week actually showed that my cholesterol was better than six months prior.  Diet and exercise is definately helping, but with Alli in the equation, I'm wondering if that's contributing to the better cholesterol levels as well?

 Sorry I don't, but I also was diagnosed with Fatty Liver, and was told by my doctor that I need to lose weight ASAP, seeing that the Liver does not like these deposits and this will worsen over time if nothing is done, such as cirrhosis. He advised me that if I can not lose the weight I should consider the Gastric Bypass. I opted out of that choice for now, in which he prescribed me Xenecal (not covered under prescription plan) so he said for me to use the Alli program. He also suggested OTC "Milk Thistle" which supports liver health.

SO, today is day one on Alli... Best wishes on your weight loss trip! Hope my comments assisted in a small way,

 This is also what has driven me to want to lose weight. My doctor told me I have the early signs of fatty liver disease. It showed up on my blood test. From what I understand it wouldn't be the orlistat itself that helps with this it is losing weight and eating less fat. If alli helps to achieve this then it is worth it.

 I have had high liver blood tests and a biopsy to diagnose the fatty liver.  I too am on week 1 of Alli.  Good luck all. This is hard, but worth it! 

 i too was diagnosed with fatty liver and my doctor told me to take alli to help me with my weight loss.
