WORTH IT$1,500

I lost 45lbs through Overeater's anonymous, 2 years ago. I have been working out hard, a minimum of 3 days/week & can't get rid of my belly pooch. I had a consultation for regular lipo about a month ago, but really am afraid of something so invasive & expensive.

The place I go for Botox & filler had an open house tonight. I always go to find out about new procedures they offer & their $5000 drawing for free products/procedures. They were showing this new cold lipo machine I have been researching. It has been on Dr Oz show often & also The Doctors, as the best spot fat treatment on the market today. They needed a volunteer to demonstrate the procedure & I was in!

I've always loved the staff at Ritacca. Friendly gals who are always caring & helping me to look my best. I can go in there, say i only have a certain amount of money to spend & they will offer me the best solution for my buck. I have never looked better or been treated with more care & concern. They answered all my questions, checked on my discomfort often & let me converse with the other gals asking about the procedure, while I was going through it (I was the person used for the demo). I was given a prescription for Neurontin for the pain I may experience in a few days. They urged me to fill it, so I wouldn't have a moment of discomfort. I will post back in a day or 2 & should have the "before" pictures they took by then.

I also lost 35 lbs and I started off with a visit to OA as well! I ended up not going to the meetings but opted for doing my own diet and I am still going. The problem now is that I have plateaued and also lost all the fat in my butt yet still have rolls of back fat and a little in the belly. My husband is saying don't lose anymore since as you get older it can make you look not so good, plus he is a butt man. I don't even have enough fat to do the Kim K lipo and injecting it back into my butt alas! I really want to do the coolscultping however it is very expensive 3,600.00 and it worked on less than 70% of the people. The office said they would give me a written guarantee if it does not work for me and they will re do it for free. Since that price is only for one treatment of 9 small areas. I am going on the beach April 1 and bought bikini's to wear for the first time in almost 10 years. I was very excited until I saw the back fat that I have. I am hoping to get this done all in one day so I have some time to see some results. Hoping it works and keeping my fingers crossed! Your result is just amazing! Its a lot of hard work and a total lifestyle change but its soooo worth it to look good!

9 treatments in what areas? IMO, you won't be happy with a single treatment in 1 area. I've had my upper/lower abs done 5x, left thigh 3x, right 5x, etc. Takes a while to "sculpt" out the fat.

I Agree with puffer punk I think most areas need 2 treatments. Sometimes more

What a way to recieve your treatment since it was clearly a promotional... You probably got the BEST tech or Dr and best placement therefore will have the results they promise. You're blessed because I on the other hand had my upper and lower done by a Tech. Never saw a Dr and now know the placement and attachment to my "fat" was done incorrectly. No results after three months. Just a waste of money. My advice to anyone considering this, insist on knowing the quailification of your tech or Dr

Today is 3 days after my procedure. Swelling seems to be down for the most part. I am still about 50% numb. The other 50% feels a little sore, like I was kicked in the stomach. I haven't taken any of the nerve-blockers. I have a very high pain threshold & am a recovering addict, so I hesitate to take any pills, unless I really hurt.

I worked out Friday (weight lifting & treadmill) & did water aerobics & swam 30 laps yesterday. took today off & plan to go beck to weights/treadmill tomorrow.

Today is almost 1 week. Absolutely no pain at all. Still a little numb but it's going away. I only took 3 pills of the 20 nerve-blockers the Dr prescribed to me. , when it started to feel like I had been kicked in the gut. They told me to take the pill as soon as the pain started, so it didn't get any worse. I worked out the very next day after this procedure, for 2 hours & have worked out (switching up with weight-lifting, swimming, water aerobics & treadmill) for 4 days, since having this dome. I'm wondering if maybe the thought this procedure might work & that I might have a boost to get rid of unwanted blubber, is making me work harder?
