I've had coolsculpting done one year ago, in Ottawa. I had 7 sessions done around my stomach area. It did not work at all.
Then, I did the standard diet and exercise. I finally lost 35 pounds, on my own. I do a 30min jog 4 days a wk, and yoga with Pillates.
I'm proud that I did it on my own, but feel stupid to have thought that the zeltiq would do it for me. You have to work hard to get the results you want. Don't waste your money like I did.

Hi Josephina,
I wonder if you would be comfortable telling me if you went to see Dr. Karen Dover in Ottawa. I have done Zeltiq before in Delray Beach Florida while visiting my sister, but I live in Montreal and was considering driving to Ottawa to have it done at Dr. Dover's clinic. But if I know someone has had a bad experience there, I'd probably decide to wait until my next trip to FL to do a second treatment. Thanks and sorry it didn't work for you :(

Yes, that's exactly where I went. It totally didn't work. What a rip off...boy do I feel stupid and SO taken. The only thing that is working for me right now, is the old fashioned diet and exersize...like Dr. Oz said in the first place. I should have listened. I always thought I was smart until I wasted my money on this. What a scam. I don't know how people sleep at night. I though doctors are supposed to help people.

Wow, I'm sorry to hear that. I haven't done my belly area, but I can say that Dr. Allenby in Delray Florida did my love handles and 2 months in, there's a real difference... so if you're ever in South Florida, I can vouch for that clinic. Thanks for the heads-up though, I'll be sure to avoid Dr. Dover's clinic.

Hey Josephina,
I'm looking into this procedure and since Ottawa is the closest center to Montreal I'm glad I came across your post. Thank you for sharing your experience! I wish it had turned out better for you!
I'm curious to know if Dr Dover followed-up with you and if she had any possible explanations for the failure? And before you had the treatment, did she say that it might not work the first time and that more than one treatments may be necessary? Or did she seem to say that you should see results after just one treatment?

I'm so sorry that it didn't work for you. :( Did your provider have any explanation?
