“Won't Do It Again - Independence, MO”

Not Worth It

I'm on day 17 now and can finally sleep! My regular clothes are still tight and painful to wear but not as bad as last week. My stomach is still somewhat numb but the heat has gone away and it only itches every once in a while. I gained an inch around my abdomin after the proceedure from bloating and I'm down a half an inch from that, so still bigger than I was. I was happy to find this site and will continue to post by results as it helped me Soooo much right after I had it done to be able to see that others were going through the same thing I was. Who knows, maybe if my results are good I will do another treatment but I doubt it.
Updated on 13 Jun 2011:
I am just 3 days short of 5 weeks from the day I had my proceedure. I can now scratch my stomach and actually feel my nails on my skin! The pain is all gone now thank God. I had measured the largest part of my belly before the proceedure, and was at 38 1/4 inches, after the proceedure it went up to 39 1/4 from the bloating, and now is at 37 inches. So there is a difference at 5 weeks, and it is supposed to be 8 weeks before you see all the fat loss so I'm hoping for a little more. Really don't think I'll do it again with the small amount of fat loss compaired to the lost sleep from pain. I really thought I had voluntarily frostbitten my skin. It was too weird for me.

My rating:
It asks rate your doctor, but here you don't have a doctor, not even a nurse, just their staff of girls. I wish someone there would have been a little more honest about the pain involved. They were more worried about getting me signed up for the $99 per month program. When I called back and asked what was up with all the pain is when they said "oh ya, give it 2 or 3 weeks" what? no one told me that when I signed up!

Hi Kay -- Wow, you sure had a tough recovery! It's strange how some people don't react at all and others are in agony for a few weeks. Fingers crossed that the results will be awesome and worth it! Looking forward to your updates. :)
I had the procedure done today and everything was a breeze. I did not eat or drink anything in the morning and my appointment was for noon. She laid this piece of white cloth covered in cold gel across my stomach. Then, she laid the machine onto the area that was to be treated. All of a sudden it sucked every bit of skin I had into the machine. It was cold for about five minutes. I watched tv and played with the Ipad they gave me. an hour later she came into the room, turned the machine off, took the machine off my stomach area and began to message my tummy for about 3 minutes. I experienced no cramping at all just a little chilly from having that cold machine on my stomach for an hour.
