As long as your diagnosis is correct and it's your GE junction, Coolsculpting is appropriate.It is an abdominal hernia that is a contraindication.Good luck!
A preexisting abdominal wall hernia is a contraindication to Coolsculpting treatment in that area. However, a hiatal hernia does not preclude a candidate from treating the abdomen as this type of hernia is internal. Best of luck!

Thank you for your question! Slim Freezer appears as an ice pack. Unfortunately, it will not work like CoolSculpting. CoolSculpting isn’t just about “freezing” the fat, but using a vacuum apparatus and controlled heating and cooling. Best of luck!
