If they reported diarrhea, weight loss would double in no time. <g>

On a more serious note, this was FIRST and ONLY drug which show *memory* (resetting body balance) effect, at least so far for short period. However, I do believe that weight loss will be maintained beyond 12 months period. The point is that patients can be on- and off-drug and gradually, but constantly, reduce weight in extended period.
