The pill you are talking about is Orlistat (Brand name Xenical in the UK.)
It prevents the absorbtion of 30% of the fat you take in, it just goes straight through your system. You are only supposed to use it on a stictly controlled diet, as the side effects aren't good for you. You are supposed to stict to three meals a day, each having no more that 12g of fat.

It was probably Zenical. It made you have horibble gas and leaky stools. It is going over the counter in America as Alli soon. But yes this is the same drug lesser dosage than Zenical. It does take all the fat and put it in your stools.

It Could have been phentermine or another name used for it. They help you lose weight quickly, but they are not good for the heart. Plus when you stop taking them, you gain the weight back.
