Dealing with my Fat for the First Time - Atlanta, GA

WORTH IT$1,200

I had the procedure done today and like many I too was concerned about anything painful ( I am a sucker when it comes to pain). The cold pad definitely alerted me prior to the suction device and boy did it grab a chunk of my belly!

It was a little painful at first until the freezing and numbness kicked in and then it was downhill from there while counting down the time. I will admit it wasn't a pretty sight when the suction was removed to see the lard-like looking skin but the doctor rubbed the skin until it was even with the rest of my belly.

I am still a little sore but I am excited to see the results. Like the others I see here. I will be taking pics to track my progress since the doc said I could see the change of anywhere from 25-30% body fat-loss in my mid section! I will update as i go like the others to see how well this really works!

The only thing i wish was explained more in depth tho this varies from patient to patient is the post healing process- esp the itching- that was uncomfortable for a while there but i am still happy i did it bc i am seeing the progress now.

I read your review and pics and yea probably the same place- lol. Your pics inspired me and reading your progress as well. I will admit it seem a little embarassing showing my belly that am not really proud of but reading yours and a few others and saw the courage and more so seeing the positive responses, i decided to let my chips fall and just do it. This is a big step for me- i recall being so nervous- hehe. I am hoping i wont need another treatment tho i would love to have a flat stomach too :) I figure i mix it up at the Gym and hope to see some fast results

Well i am on day 19 and so far i have to say that i can some changes in my tummy. One thing that i will not miss though was the itching as the fat cells were dying. That drove me crazy as it was very uncomfortable. I still have some numbness in the treated area. I am hoping to have some pics on day 30 :)

Hi, I am still shopping around and getting some ideas, after reading your review I am curious as to how long the itching lasted. As I am prone to ezcema I hate anything that makes me itch!

For me, i would say about a week, some days it would itch more. Currently the itching is now all gone and now its waiting to see some results. As a matter of a fact, am coming up to my 30 days on March 1st and it seems like i have lost some from what i see in the mornings when i look in the mirror. I will keep you posted here with my follow up 30 day pics.
