Diet Drug Raises Hopes, Fears: "Alli (pronounced al-EYE) went on sale for the first time about two weeks ago - a stronger prescription form, Xenical, has been available since 1999 - and its promotional material alone makes for strong medicine: The drug, which helps people lose small amounts of weight, can cause oily discharges, uncontrolled bowel movements and gas if you eat too much fat.
Its marketing effort makes an impression by telling users to wear dark pants and carry extra clothes in case they soil themselves."
No amount of weight loss is worth the risk of "fecal urgency", I'm sorry.

I don't know... if it's eating an excess of fat that will cause urgency, then monitor your fat intake and you should be ok, right?
I am feeling the urge - the urge to wear some black pants...
