Hey Lisa,
How many treatments have you had? If you provide the fig. clinic with documentation about your pregnancy then they can talk to you about getting a refund.
I work for fig. and just spoke to some professionals here at the office, they informed me that there have been no known complications with prenancy associated with lipodissolve. They also said that the it usually takes about a month for your body to get the drug out of your system.
I hope this settles some of your worries. Best of luck. If you have any other questions, concerns or need any other help with anything, feel free to contact me directly.
well said mkuechel! I work in a research lab and an oncology clinic where clinical trials (2) are currently being conducted. I am involved both in the leg work (research lab) and the actual clinical outcome. The research scientist (also an MD) that I work for has 197 articles in scientific journals published to date. It is no small task to get FDA approval, NIH funding, and IRB protocol approval, etc. so I did not go into this uninformed. With that being said, I decided to be a ginuea pig and get the lipo dissolve and 13 weeks later....have not seen results (but I was prepared for the coin to flip either way). I have not experienced any adverse reactions thus far (though some people have).
my advice to those still willing to try lipodissolve (as I suspect many people will), please get ONE injection at a time, do not fall for the so called package deal. Please be aware of the risks involved (whatever they may be) short term or long term. Do not take this lightly and do not allow yourselves to be convinced by the lipodissolve clinicians that have very limited knowledge of the drug that they are pushing. Again, it is not FDA approved (The FDA is there to protect the public) so keep this in mind.
addendum to my october 5, 7:10 am post, I still have the abdominal bloating (mentioned in an earlier post) but I am currently eliminating certains foods, etc before I can (unquestionably)attribute the bloating to the lipodissolve. I will post results in a couple of weeks.
If this stuff worked fig wouldn't be going out of business. My wife had the treatments and they didn't work; they made her very ill. Fig stalled repeatedly regarding a refund and then went out of business. Contact the attorney at figattorney.com, he's trying to get refunds. Good luck
I was going to have Lipo Dissolve done BUT, after doing research on the web I found out that PCDC is BILE SALT, which is URINE, ( they are using sheeps unrine) yes I have urine in my body, but it is contained and is not introduced into my blood stream, which is why these women are having their eyes swell up and their hair fall out, and body parts swelling, its called UREMIC POISONING. I am not a medical professional but I can read and make summations!!!! This stuff is not FDA APPROVED and SHOULD NOT BE INTRODUCED INTO THE HUMAN BODY!!!! Years ago they used Pregnant Horse Urine injections to loose weight with a combination of diuretics, I was one of them, had no reactions, BUT MY Room Mate did have reactions and was very sick for a long time. This stuff is not FDA Approved. These gals either were deceived or willingly went ahead with the process. If I had went ahead with the program and had these side effects I would be getting an attorney like right now. I would RUN not WALK. AND I would go to the nearest TRAUMA CENTER Emergency room and tell them everything that's wrong and that they had PCDC Injections. I cannot believe that Licensed Doctors and Nurses are doing this.
I'm 28 years old male , and I just done my lipo dissolve ppc injections on my face (cheeks, jowl ) 3 days ago (2 vial = 1 vial ppc on every cheek ). And today I found this forum and after read all these horros stories bout lipo dissolve, I become deadly afraid if something unwanted happen to my face. I still got a really HUGE swelling on my face (3 days post op)without any bruish . it still makes me look like a pumkin.
What makes me worry now is, how long the swelling would start going down? Its still ok for me if I should get 0 result BUT I got SO NERVOUES thinking IF the swelling won't ever gone or its ppc makes my face even bulkier or fatter. Also I'm still doing exercises everyday.
Please anyone whos ever had these injections on FACE, Help me!!! Its all the stories really freaking me out...really appreciate for any feedback!!
I'm considering lipodissolve because, when I lose weight, almost nothing comes off my stomach area. When I gain some of it back, all the fat goes to the stomach area. Over time, I get skinnier, but look like I swallowed a beach ball.
Here's my question about lipodissolve:
Where does the fat go? My guess would be the blood stream. This is a matter of concern, because that may mean fatty deposits in the arteries.
If the fat is excreted, wouldn't that put a dangerous burden on the kidneys?
Thanks,
I had my second ab treatment yesterday. I had the first almost a year ago and kept procrastinating on getting more because of the severe swelling & bruising i had. The first treatment was very painful immediately after treatment; i'd say a 7 on a scale of 1-10 (ten being highest) for about 30-40 minutes. So intense i planned on having a driver the next time... The swelling was much more than i had expected and i hated how it was all giggly--loose and wobbly when you walk. (spanx help a lot) The swelling continued for up to 72 hours-- then it seemed mostly gone to me... The soreness is what i would imagine it would feel like if you have had a C-section-- much worse than doing a lot of sit ups. What disturbed me the most was that i seemed to temporarily loose control of my stomach muscles also... i ALWAYS suck in my gut... constantly, and i could not do that for at least 3 days. The second treatment has been a little better... the nurse gave me ice packs to hold to the area immediately and this helped the sharp pains A LOT. However, i'm not sure you should apply ice as the swelling is what makes this procedure work... the cells swell up so large they burst, etc. So, i'm not sure this might not compromise my results? The first time the swelling was immediate and large.. the second, i got home 40 minutes later and was barely swollen due to the ice... however, it did swell more as the afternoon and night came on.... then i woke up to use the restroom in the middle of the night and almost fainted... cold sweat, nausea, and had to lay on the floor for a few minutes... drank some water and continued to lie down and it passed.... I am fine today... swollen and sore but much less so.... really only one really bad day/night... the results the first time were great... after a month i saw a noticible difference in my lower abs.. it is like a whole 1-2 inches of my lower abs are flat now... and my pooch starts up higher... So i guess if i have as good of results this time perhaps the three days of discomfort will be worth it... not sure... i procrastinated almost a whole year for my second treatment....think liposuction might be better... one time to go through the swelling and all that...instead of multiple.... also, itching continued for weeks for me...
Former fig patient(Duluth, GA)...does anybody know how one can obtain their medical records. Please help me...fig left me dry after 3 treatments and 23 pound weight gain. I am looking to have a surgery and my insurance requires patient to have gone through a 3month supervised weight treatment/management proof. Fig is all I did...please help if you know how I can get my records.
