Waves,
This site says that Zyprexa stimulates "some of the stomach serotonin receptors that are thought to be responsible for appetite increase."

Also here talks about a wafer developed to absorb in the mouth and mostly bypass the stomach: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17191265
Quote:
Partial sublingual absorption occurring with orally disintegrating olanzapine may bypass gastrointestinal metabolisation and hence lead to differences in metabolite versus parent compound ratios. However, the need arises to replicate the present study with a longer follow-up.

These findings suggest that adolescents gain less weight with OLZ ODT than OLZ SOT, possibly because the former formulation shortens the time of interaction with digestive serotonin receptors mediating satiety.
The first action for weight gain is in the stomach.
The second action for weight gain is in the pancreas.

Let me know if I mostly got this right.
