I have lost 3 stone and have a role of fat all around my waist area as well as a pad of abdomen fat with a hanging roll over a scar above my pubic area where I had hysterectomy. It has been impossible to lose these fat deposits despite further dieting and excercise. I have fybromyalga and parkinsons but still remain active. I am on co-doaldopa2x3 times a day and 1 rasigline. I want to have the fat removed as I find it pulls my back where I have the most pain. what is the best treatment.
