Hi,

Checkout is recommended for weight loss. However, it is only recommended after exercise and diet. Exercise and diet control must be observed with this drug. This drug causes weight loss by blocking absorption of fats (oil) from our diet.

For the same reason it caused bloating. Bloating does not mean any weight gain or obesity, it's a slight discomfort and a feeling of fullness in the stomach. So you should not worry about the bloating. Another point is that if you are feeding your baby the drug may not be appropriate and is not recommended for nursing mothers.

Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
