Had my 5th treatment yesterday. It went really well and KR did remove the spacer after 5 minutes. I had a total of 35 minutes yesterday - 30 without the spacer.
I was able to wear a pencil skirt to work that I had not been able to zip up for the last year. It looked flattering and I felt pretty good about how I look - which isn't always the case when you look like I do....
Water, water, water.... I have given up the 3rd cup of coffee in the morning and I do not drink any soda at all - not even diet soda.
Still doing Jazzercise 4-5 times a week - so I know that I am also contributing to the results. I think I might even try to wear shorts this summer.
Ciao Chickas.

Sorry I haven't kept up with my results.
Two things happened recently that are pretty significant. KR asked if I would be interested in extending the length of the treatment time as well as taking away the spacer.
After the first week (04/03/2014) - these treatments have been such a breeze. No hotspots and I've worked out the uncomfortable towel issue. The towel is needed to "splay" my love-handles so they can be "destroyed" by Vanquish. We are using a smaller towel and I know just how to position it.
Sooooo - last week I went for 45 minutes - 40 of which were without a spacer. I do not sweat - so that's why KR thought I would be a great test subject for the extended treatment time. I actually fell asleep - snoring - the whole bit. (Yep - how attractive...snoring....)
Second BIG thing - my BF asked if I was losing weight. YIPPEE - the 2nd spare time is almost gone. Still have a spare tire around my middle - but just one - not two.
I am hoping for spectacular results, now!!! Whoop, whoop.
I TOTALLY want to be first in line when Vanquish is approved for the thigh big-old-butt area. Sleeping and getting rid of my big A$$ and thighs....life is grand.
BTW - I am still exercising 5 times a week and eating a healthy diet. I have really gotten into a habit of attending Jazzercise, so exercising is not horrible any longer....c'mon you totally know what I mean. I didn't get a tummy and thighs like these by being a marathon runner. I HATED to exercise....wasn't there always something better to do?
I have my fourth treatment this week - I'll let you know how it goes.

They say the more you have to reduce in the area the better your results...mglauser1 what is your waist and hip measurements? are you pretty thin with just a small stomach pooch to lose? How many tx did you do? Congrats to Van04.03.2014...did you notice the reduction most in upper or lower abdomen area? Also, I hadn't heard anything about the increase in time...didn't see anything on internet either. I'm going to look into that.
May 1, 2014
Hi,
I've noticed reduction in my lower abs. I wore a pencil skirt to work 2 days ago that I could NOT zip up before - and it very very flattering.
KR is increasing the treatment time as an EXPERIMENT. I tolerate Vanquish really well and she asked if I would be willing to allow her to test the increased time. I don't think it is on the internet - this is something that is being tested by a few of the providers.

Don't be embarrassed! You've taken the steps to better yourself be proud! You go girl!
April 28, 2014
Any updates? I am 1 month after vanquish and really don't see any difference..
April 28, 2014
Any updates? It's been 1 month since my last treatment and don't really see any difference...
April 28, 2014
I ABSOLUTELY am seeing results. My BF asked if I had been losing weight on Saturday....SCORE!!!!
I haven't told anyone about my Vanquish treatments. I feel more confident. Summer is almost here and I have almost lost the 2nd spare tire.
Oh - I have more to go - but I can tell a real difference.
April 28, 2014
how long did it take to see results? I have had 6 treatments, and 4 weeks post treatment
April 28, 2014
Hi,
I've had 3 treatments - still have 5 more to go. (I got a deal for 2 free extra treatments). How long (time wise) were your treatments? Mine were 30 minutes - extending to 45 minutes last week.
Did they measure your fat percentage? I haven't lost any weight.....though.
April 28, 2014
they didn't take measurements, which I thought was odd but they did take pictures for before and after. Treatments were 30 minutes each time. It was pretty expensive so I'm a little worried that I'm not seeing great results yet.
April 28, 2014
Awwww - that's too bad. It is expensive. I used my tax refund (instead of using it for a vacation). I'm sure you should have seen some results. Have you consulted the place? Can they give you any suggestions?
The aesthetician (KR) where I am going took measurements (my embarrassing measurements); and took photos (oh the horror). She weighs me ever week on this funky scale that measures my weight (ick), my fat percentage (double-ick) and my hydration level...(at least I am doing OK there).
Like I said, I haven't lost weight (dang it), but my fat percentages have gone down.
If I wasn't seeing any results, I would definitely try to find out why.
April 30, 2014
If you are working out muscle weighs more than fat which is why you haven't noticed a decrease in pounds probably.
April 30, 2014
what were your beginning waist and hip measurements...what is your pant size and weight? trying to find a correlation
April 30, 2014
I wore either a 14 or a 12 - depends on the pant.
My starting measurements are on my second post:
Waist: 40"
Hips: 42.5"
Thighs: 27"
Weight: 176
Height: 5'5"
April 30, 2014
Colleen-I did see your measurements...I was asking for mlauser since she wasnt seeing results. For you I was wondering if you most noticed your reduction in upper or lower ab region? thx much
April 30, 2014
what was your beginning weight, measurements and pant size? trying to correlate successful results vs. minimum results thx much
May 1, 2014
I talked to KR yesterday and she said that drinking lots of water is the key to losing the fat. Were you asked to drink more than 64 oz per day?
Also - you could easily be a lot thinner than me (you've seen my photos...eeeewwwww).
May 1, 2014
lol my photos aren't much better! Size 10 about 165 lbs at 5 ft tall, 1 child and the fibroids don't help my lower belly look very pretty! ;)
May 1, 2014
did you have a spacer pad on between yourself and machine? trying to figure out why you got no results? yes...have to drink a ton of water so machine knows what to zap attack
May 1, 2014
yes...lots of water thruout the week. thx for photos...I'm hoping for decrease in lower abs beneath belly button and across. after second tx seems like an overall reduction in volume. I do have the one sore spot above my left hip-not too bad.
May 1, 2014
thinking of what tx to do for back fat in bra area. coolscupting sounds painful for stomache but may be more tolerable for back fat...I'm going to research. are you going to get anything else done?
May 1, 2014
I used my tax refund too! thats cool youre going for a total of 8 tx. I bought 4 and received one free. I'm going to look into the 45min option.
May 1, 2014
My friend had cool sculpting done about a year ago on her abs. It did work for her.
In what I've read, however, Vanquish is more successful - people seem happier with the results.
I am saving up right now because when they allow Vanquish for the thighs and hips I want to be first in line.
I am happy with the results, so far. I am anxious to see if the extended time with no spacer is beneficial.
May 2, 2014
yes just had my 2nd tx 4/29/14...spacer removed after 5 min getting too hot liked air flow better without. did receive a hot spot before spacer removed right above my left hip bone...heard its a good sign...fat necrosis? fat cells responding and being destroyed....docs out there is this so? should I ask for 45 min instead of my 30 min?
