“The REAL Pain with Lipo Dissolve”

I think no down time means you don't have to take 6 weeks off like with liposuction. You are suppose to swell as this is how the process works, the fat cells swell. The stretch were more than likely already there but showed up again with the new swelling. Have you gained weight? It is very unusual that you would gain inches with this procedure. Remember, you are not a victim. You agreed to try this and no one can convince you to do something unless you let them.

I started lipo dissolve back in June 2006. I have been COMPLETELY disappointed! My mom and I started it together. She has only lost 1/2 inch and has gained a couple lbs. I have lost 0, nadda, zilch, and gained about 10 lbs. We spaced them out so that we were getting them every 6 weeks or so. They said they worked better if you could hold the sessions off. They also sold us a package of 6 sessions and said that after that it would be $99 each time for life, if we wanted to. We went in on our 3rd appt and were told they bumped it to 9 sessions. On our 4th appt they said they bumped it to 12 sessions. We asked why and they said the shots weren't working like people wanted them to and they weren't giving enough (only 2 shots of 5cc's each), and they bumped it up to 40cc's for my mom and last time was 30 cc's for me! That was about 50 or so different "sticks" with the needles. I'm so TIRED of it! It doesn't work and it HURTS BAD. You swell up and turn red, get bruises and knots. It's like I had little aliens in my stomach and they'd move around, it was awful. I was taking darvocet and percocet to ease the pain the first 2 days. You can only take Tylenol, unless you have a script for something stronger. But you CANNOT take advil, aleve, or any prescription anti-inflammatories. We had our shots done in Overland Park, KS. They told us last time that if we didn't see any changes when we came in next (we'll be going in 2 days) then they'd submit their opinion to refund us. Now an opinion is not what I want. My mom and I are sickened by this and we've decided that we're not getting the shots again, regardless of a refund. YES, we have been ripped off! They give you false hope and say it's "slightly uncomfortable"... they say this to get you in. I want you all to know that it DOESN'T WORK and IT'S VERY PAINFUL!!! Just go get lipo suction, it's CHEAPER and almost IMMEDIATE results!!!

I had my appt on Saturday. They did measurements and photos. I haven't lost anything, not one centimeter. They submitted my file for a refund. Who know's how long it will take. The girl said they submit refunds all the time, she just has no idea if anyone has ever gotten a refund. She told my mom that once her "nodules" go away then that would surely effect her measurements. That's not true at all. I had huge knots in my stomach, they go away but I think your fat just shifts to fill it up. Those shots have got to change your body (in the area that you were getting them) and I'm not saying for the good either. I look so gross right now. They also changed the way the take your pictures. You have to wear disposable panties over yours and under the shorts. They take your pictures with the shorts on and then you have to take the shorts off so there are no discrepencies... not sure how they help prevent that. Photoshop can do that! If my mom and I don't get our refunds then I will be contacting Fox 4 also. I think it would be best if we could get a few people to call the same day or within a couple days of each other. I am also thinking about putting up a website and getting information from unhappy customers. I will only do that if they don't give my mom and I a refund. If you read this and are thinking about calling Fox 4 or want to share your side of things for my potential website then email me: {edited}

Well I am in Las Vegas and I have completed my last treatment. No results yet, it looks like I am even bigger! Not happy!

hey, I was goint to give it at tru, but I stated searching in the internet before, please be honest, has anybody outthere had any REaLLY good luck with this people (now I am scared, Iam in vegas), can somebody please reply. It is this like everybody else????????just a rip off??????? thanks for all your commets it opened my eyes!!!!!!!!!!!

It sounds to me an like Jennifer works at a LD center. I dont know how she would know about the frequency or not of refunds if she didn't and if her and all her friends were happy. PLus she made the comment about people whoe "live here in MO"..thought you were in Vegas. Frankly our whole first paragraph sounds like and excuse form the company complete with experienced examples. If you had so much like then how do you know all these "fat slobs" from st. louis that this doesnt work for? I hope you are living well off the money you have made at LD cause it doesnt spend well in hell

I agree, Jennifer sounds like she works at an LD center. She is talking about people's results in Las Vegas, yet she got her treatments in St Louis...how is she an "expert" at knowing results in LV? And Annie you got it right about she shouldn't know about the refund process if she and all her friends are happy. I apolotize for not posting under my user name to Jennifer's first post - I accidentally posted under Guest. But anyone can go on RealSelf forums and see my posts regarding my experiences with LD and my experience is very much not a Win/Win. Jennifer, you ask how LD put 7 lbs on me. I've been trying to figure that out since LD staff told me at my inital consultation that it would only put 2-3 lbs most on me due to swelling. So if LD can put 2-3 lbs on a person, then if it doesn't do what is advertised doesn't it stand to reason that it can easily put 7 lbs on an active, healthy person? I know people that have gained upwards of 10 lbs. Like I said in my post, I am active and fit. At 5'4 I weighed 122. I had a few minor trouble areas that were stubborn and wouldn't come off. At my refund consultation I weighed 129 with absolutely no change in lifestyle other than LD. So to answer your question how can LD put 7 lbs on me, I ask you IF LD IS THE ONLY LIFESTYLE CHANGE I MADE AFTER 6 YRS OF NO WEIGHT GAIN, WOULDN'T IT STAND TO REASON THAT LD PUT THE 7 LBS ON ME??? I've suffered greatly from LD. I had several days down time each treatment, extreme swelling and pain, minor and random allergic reactions that couldn't be tied to LD until they put double the medicine in me and I had a severe allergic reaction that landed me in the ER. I spent a lot of money battling out those minor allergic reactions and more money in the ER. Care Credit is charing me interest while LD is taking 90 full business days to refund my money (when they can't even get my records from KC to St Louis and both Tonya and Jamie Baker at St Louis refuse to return phone calls until you threaten the BBB, then Tonya claims she has rec'd no messages from you)...who is going to refund me the interest, the hospital bill, the medication, and my suffering??? HOW EXACTLY WAS LD A WIN/WIN FOR ME????????

Jennifer said in her original post, "They never promised to slim down my body while I was a slob who ate terribly and didn't exercise... Just because you do the treatments does not give you an excuse to not live a healthy lifestyle." Then she said, "If you are a person who maintains a proper diet and exercise, then this will most definitely work for you. Honestly the people who did not recieve the results they were looking for did not have the proper expectations. They believed it would dissolve all their fat no matter what they ate or if they worked out." So that Jennifer -and all others who might be skeptical of my posts- can fully understand that I live an active lifestyle: I am 33 yrs old and have had two kids - yet I maintained a weight of 122 at 5'4 for 6 yrs which is a great weight to be for having two kids. I am a size 4-6, depending on what brand I wear. I am an active fencer, which if anyone knows anything about fencing they realize you have to be in a little bit of shape to do that. I also do cardio 2-3 times a week outside of fencing. When I say that LD is responsible for my weight gain, I'm not messing around. There is nothing else that could have been responsible. Jennifer, you said in your post that if I maintained a proper diet and exercise, this would most definitely work for me. Obviously you are just as wrong as LD.

I had this procedure done over one month ago and I am very worried. I had all the side effects immediately after the procedure the above stories mentioned and also including a constant burning on my skin in the lower abdominal area which has not gone away. It is very sore and tender and I also have lots of knots, or cysts under the skin which cause the most sensitivity to the area when touched. I can also see some of the lumps when I stretch or do ab exercises. I have allot of concern as to how long they last for. I can't seem to find any information about them except they are supposed to go away, not to comforting… Everything I have read says the sunburn feeling goes away after a couple weeks? The doctors said I was going to have a great reaction because I was so swollen for the first two weeks. I only have the knots and seem to still be larger in that area then before the shots. The swelling is still apparent and I exercise four days a week with an hour of cardio during those times. I am not really gaining weight but I haven't lost inches or lbs either. I only had my lower abs done and do not plan on getting any other areas done. I weigh 124lbs and I'm 5'5". Please can someone give me any advice or suggestions as to what I should do?

I actually have an appointment today (Atlanta, Ga.) I am skepticle now because of the feed back that I have read. I have a problem with my waist area (kids/c-section). Is it really worth the money? Honestly I need feed back from someone in Georgia if you are out there.
