One other thing BJ, telling someone here that their results are not typical just proves that you have not spent much time at all on this site. Because if you had, you would see that the majority of people have had very similar results to the original poster. Your one post on this site only offers your own experience and proves you have not participated on this great site. You are not a scholar on this procedure and should not be criticizing someone who has had a dramatic negative experience. Again, I hope the best for you and most importantly I hope that your enthusiasm now does not turn into something terrible.

Fortunately you are one of the FEW that have had positive results so far. Most of the feedback on this site is negative because people have had VERY bad results, results that have left them deformed. This product is NOT approved for this purpose. Besides you really should wait a bit longer than a few weeks and only being 1/2 way through before you give accolades to such a product. I personally talked with 5 cosmetic surgeons and 2 medical doctors that practice natural medicine 1 of which at one time offered the procedure, yet he highly suggested not doing it and he had stopped because of the extremely poor results as well as the severe after effects. I hope you continue to have good results but telling someone to not post their opinion and experience on a website that is intended just for that reason is irresponsible and really sounds as if you have an interest in marketing this unsafe product.

In response to your question about how it can be used when not FDA approved, you have to understand that the it does not matter what the FDA approves or not, because even a drug that is approved by the FDA to be used in a specific way, once approved can be used in almost anyway a particular doctor sees fit. Phosphatidylcholine is a derived from soy and is found in animal, including human cell membranes. It is available at most health food stores. It can be taken in capsule form and is usually indicated for memory and brain health. It is very safe when taken this way. Deoxycholate is bile salt produced by the liver. These are the ingredients in lipodissolve. Now, these 2 components alone are not the issue, the issue comes then compounding pharmacist mix the two. The problem is that no 2 people are alike and the amounts of these components would be different based on the patients vitals. Another issue with this product is that other ingredients get mixed in and then, who knows what you get. I understand everyones dismay with this product and I would never do it, I went with lipo. But you have to remember that being FDA approved really means nothing. If you take vitamin-C, or a multi vitamin, those are not FDA approved, it is rare for someone to have an issue with a multi vitamin and if they do, it is usually a personal sensitivity and all you have to do is switch brands. The key issue is in how the product is being used. Good luck to anyone who has had this procedure and hopefully women (mostly) will stop doing this.

This really is a bad product. I consulted a doctor that does it and he even discouraged me from doing it. I saved and had lipo. I was working out at 3 weeks post-op though I still had soreness, but I love my results. Lipo is very effective if you put in the post op effort and there is no major difference in cost especially when you consider the lifelong issues associated with lipodissolve.

Definitely don't go buy an entire new wardrobe just yet. I definitely had a shape change from 4 weeks to 11 weeks, so be patient because it is likely to get even better. glad things went well for you. I know it was the best decision for me.
