Not Sure if It Worked. - London, ON

I guess I should update this

So it turns out that my gut actually wasn't fat. It kept getting bigger, and then I was in a lot of pain. So I went to the doctor, and I found out I had a huge ovarian cyst. I had the operation back in April. It must have weighed close to 20 pounds and they said they drained 6.5 liters of fluid from it. So it makes sense why the Zerona didn't work for me, and why I didn't notice any differences. Although I kind of wonder if they do still try and rip you off. They told me that I lost some inches from my belly which is impossible.
So after this experience, I am thinking that it doesn't work, and they lie about your results. At least they did at the clinic I went to, which is no longer open by the way.

Although to be fair, the new pictures are kind of...
Although to be fair, the new pictures are kind of far away, so it's hard to see but I have seen improvement with every single pair of pants I own. The problem is, I think I am slimming down in the waist and everywhere else except the stomach. Those pictures were taken two weeks ago before I started my weightloss competition at work, and my clothes are even looser today and my rib bones are sticking out but my stomach is still really huge so i don't understand anymore. I think the Zerona did help a bit for a while, because they told me I would keep losing even after the 6 treatments.

Hi! I am in London ON too....and looking to find any way to reduce my inner thighs....possibly love handles too...How is your result so far? What was the price like? Thanks a lot!

I've lost more weight, but I think it's from diet and exercise, not from the Zerona. But I did go down six more pounds before I started the diet and exercise. Unfortunately, I've lost weight every where on my body except my stomach.

You might want to try velashape-I went to Always Smooth in london and got really good results. And they were really well priced, saw the velashape on the dr. oz show and then got the link to find the closest location. Plus the staff is really nice. I was going to try the Zerona, but my friend tried it first and didnt get any results.

Your last two pics sure look to me like you lost in your stomach. A lot. Keep up the good work!
Personally, I'm considering the Zerona as a boost to a diet. Hoping to loose more weight and faster than without the Zerona. It's pretty spendy so I sure hope it works! I won't be starting for a few weeks because of scheduling conflicts. So I'm going to start to diet and exercise now so hopefully, I'll be able to really see a big boost two weeks after I start the zerona. : ) Wish me luck!

Complete and utter nonsense - c'mon people...

You're definitely right about that. It turns out my gut wasn't fat at all. I just had surgery in April to have a huge ovarian cyst removed. They told me when I was doing the treatments that I lost inches in my belly, but that's impossible. So definitely a big waste of money. They lie to you about your results.

@ashlyn868: You may want to look into whether or not you have a Diastisis Recti. I have the same problem - if I lose weight, I lose it everywhere but my belly stays looking huge, to the point where I look pregnant when I'm not! It sucks and is embarrassing. A couple months ago I stumbled upon a YouTube video by a woman known as an expert in the field of something called a Diastisis Recti. The woman's name is Julie Tupler and she runs a website called Diastisis Rehab. A Diastisis Recti is a medical term for when the muscles in the abdomen are so weak that they cannot hold the center in to the point where the ab muscles separate, leaving them to stick out. There's a way to easily measure & determine whether you have a Diastisis Recti or not at home with your fingers and a soft measuring tape (I think the instructions how to do this are on Julie Tupler's website or on a YouTube video). If this is what you have, there are specific exercises that help strengthen the diastisis muscle and results can be seen in as little as 6 weeks (**Important- normal exercises like crunches, sit ups, planks, etc. make a diastisis recti WORSE so please be aware!!) There are some seriously awesome reviews on several different forums (from new mom forums, weight loss forums, body building forums, etc.) about the Tupler Technique and inches lost around the belly. I discovered that I have a diastisis recti which makes my stomach look huge and any fat I have on my stomach make it look even worse. But I'm now working on Diastisis recti repair exercises along with a rehab splint that I bought in order to get my belly in the proper shape. I encourage you to do some research - it might explain why you can't get your belly to appear the way you want it to. Good luck!

Thanks, I'm looking into it, although I've never been pregnant so not sure if it's my case but I will check it out. My stomach is my only problem area. Although it could be just genetics. Either way, I might just try out those exercises anyway. It probably won't hurt even if I don't have it.

Hi, I know it's been a year. I found out why I couldn't lose the belly fat. It's because it wasn't fat. I had a giant ovarian cyst. It made me look six months pregnant. I had it taken out back in April. They drained 6.5 liters of fluid from me, and it weighed about 20 pounds I think. I lost 20 pounds from the surgery, so I'm assuming the cyst weighed that much. Now my stomach is smaller. There is barely any fat at all, although it's kind of stretched out a bit. The cyst was there for three years.

No 6 month old fetus weighs 20 lbs! Even full term babies only weigh between 6 and 8 lbs on average so that's an incredibly large cyst. How was it diagnosed through ultrasound or?

I had an ultrasound first, and then they sent me to a gynecologist. At first they thought I had a tumor and they weren't sure if it was cancerous or not. That was terrifying to know. I went in January because I was in a lot of pain from it. The doctor told me right away it wasn't fat and sent me to have an ultrasound the next day. They weren't sure what it was, just that it wasn't good. When I went to the gynecologist he told me it was a really big cyst but that I had to have it surgically removed. It was blocking my kidney and pressing up against my other organs. They were worried that I was going to have kidney damage actually.
