44 Year Old Woman with No Children and a History of Endometriosis and Inner Scar Tissue - Casper, WY

I am very disgruntled. I went into this procedure excited and willing to go spend the substantial amount of money because of what I read on the success rates. Dr. Bowkley was very optimistic and said that I was a great candidate and two treatments to my stomach and a treatment to my side area should do the trick. They were unable to "pinch" enough fat on the side areas so we opted to do my inner thigh instead a month later. It was very, very painful and I had to get on medication. A month later came and I had been swollen for almost the entire time. I still went through a second procedure because the Dr. was still very optimistic that I would eventually see progress. I endured the pain once again hoping to see some kind of change in my body composition. After a few months had gone by, I was contacted by Dr. Bowkley out of concern from what I wrote here and said that they were willing to give me yet another treatment, this time "on them." After thinking long and hard and reading more, I decided that it wasn't worth the pain it had caused the first 2 times and the down time from work and my every day life for a "chance" that it would finally take after a 3rd time. I was never contacted again after I declined. So bottom line is, I took a very expensive chance that didn't work and there was no "Money back guarantee" if it doesn't take, not even a portion of that money. That part I understand, but what upsets me the most, is that I see other facilities doing the same procedures for 2/3 of what it cost me through the Casper Medical Imaging in Wyoming. All I can suggest to everyone is to do their due diligence on their research before getting this done. I wish I had spent my 6,000 wiser and went another route. It is very, very painful and I was swollen both times for almost a month and I didn't lose at all!!! If anything, I have become more resistant to losing. Since then all of this I have been on a 1500 caloric diet and a 4 mile sometime 5 mile walk 3-5 days a week and haven't budged in size or weight loss. The fat is still there.

I don't feel like that was a significant enough of a change to justify a 6,000 price tag. I recommend people with my body structure to go another route and use that money more effectively. The doctors were unable to "pinch" enough area to do my sides of my waist so we opted to do my inner thighs instead, which show results but I had also started a walking program that may have contributed to these results.

For the money I paid, I would have expected to see better results. If I was to do it all over again, I would have chose a different method and applied my 6,000 elsewhere. The inner thighs worked great and was virtually painless, but the stomach area was painful and wasn't worth the expense.
