“Not Painful - Bridgewater, NJ”
Spent: $1,500 in Bridgewater, NJ
Everything went fine. The most uncomfortable part was the machine sucking my stomach in..but it was totally bearable. It's 7 days after now and there is light pins and needles..a slight numb feeling and tenderness but in no way shape or form stopped me from doing anything.
I work hard..I work out hard (I do abs too!) I wear tight pants...have sex in every position...I am telling you that I have no idea what could have happened to the people that say they are in bad pain...they needed vicoden? I didn't even need an advil.
They say it takes 2 months to see full result but I had 4 people in the past 2 days say I looked slimmer...coincidence? Maybe but I am happy. I will definitely update in a few weeks and try to get some pics up..but don't let bad reviews scare you...just research the medical facility you go to in depth and ask a lot of questions. I only got 1 area done my stomach...maybe people with scary reviews got more than one area done..anyway so far so good.

Also wanted to mention that it is totally freaky when they take the suction machine off of you....it looked like I had a 1lb piece of salmon under my skin...it was weird but they massaged it right down. The pic below is before pic and in 8 weeks I will post after pics...lets see what happens...

Hi beach bum -- Thanks for writing a review! It's good to hear you didn't have the pain that others have experienced.
I'm looking forward to following your progress and pics, so please keep us updated! :)
We are really appreciative of all your advice! It looks like you bounced back with no problems at all. Post new pics please when you are ready. :)
Hi Workoutmom,
Do you feel comfortable sharing what doctor you used? That is really good advice that you just gave everyone.... sides must be less painful because there are less nerves there. I have a tattoo on my lower stomach and WOW did it hurt. Please post your before and after when you have them! Kate
I'm not quite sure what you mean about sharing what the doctor used... I thought they all used the same machine. I didn't really pay attention to the type of machine it was, other than it was the normal "vacuum". I'm not sure if I'll ever get the before/after pictures from them, but if I do, I will post.
Thanks!
Your 7/16 pic looks awesome!
Curious, it is now a full 2 months, what is your final take on this procedure, worth the money or not? I did mine today on lower abs and it does hurt more from what I understand than others. However, it is bearable pain. I am glad you posted about the salmon look and the swollen redness that I almosted freaked out. However, all this have subsided. I wished the doctor had warned me about it so it would not have been as shocking. Do you have final pics.

shoeguru--please post a review and photos if you can, I'm 99.9% certain I'm doing this, but I'd love to hear how your treatment went. Thanks! My fingers are crossed for you
