Can Coolsculpting work for overweight individuals? I had an over active thyroid and received a radiation treatment.

linchem
I am now hypo active and take Synthroid daily. The weight has been packing on, but finally seems to have stabilized. I am only 5' 1" tall and weigh nearly 190 lbs and I can't seem to take the weight off. I am particularly interested in having my arms, abdomen and back fat in the bra area done. Would I be a candidate as I am so obese ?? Thank you !!
