23 Year Old Male, Coolsculpting (4 Abdominal Areas) - Week 5

  • 9 Sep 2014
  • 2 months post
Well this is week 5 and still going strong. Not really sure I am seeing results, still keeping up with cardio making sure to do the daily amount. Although I feel healthier and stronger due to the jogging I still feel like I am not seeing results. I tried to put shorts on didn't feel like they were any looser than before. I am currently at 217 pounds, I have noticed that I have gained weight (perhaps muscle). Although my waist isn't increasing. This post is a little late I will be uploading my week 6 pictures tomorrow. So its been 6 weeks or about 1.5 months and I still have not heard any follow up call or any follow up email. At this point I strongly do not recommend Dr. Rajani, and if anyone is able to comment if they had any experience (positive or negative) with him it would definitely be appreciated.

23 Year Old Male, Coolsculpting (4 Abdominal Areas) - Week 4

its been 4 weeks (28 days) since my procedure of "dualSculpting" I still feel like I am not seeing results. I think this puts me at the 1/2 line that most people see results. I have read that results take 2 months to see their full effects. Since week 3, or the past 7 days I have decided to add more cardio to my routine in order to burn the immediate extra calories (fat) within my body. I still feel like I am not seeing any from my previous week 1 and 3 pictures. My cardio consists of doing the stair stepper (I consider this the hardest cardio machine) for 30-50 minutes. I have been building to up to 45 minutes at 60 steps a minute. If I am not doing the stairs I have done a 3 mile jog at a pace of 8:30 a mile. I don't ever do cardio without pushing myself to the limits but so far I am disappointed with my results. It is even more disappointing that Dr. Rajani has not followed up I wish I could see other people who have actually gotten treated by him. Hoping the next month is better. Those who have had this procedure care to share what I can do to improve results. My diet is carefully measured and I don't think more cardio is the solution considering I am doing over 45 minutes a day 5x a week.

So once again this is a late post but the pictures are accurate. There is no week 2 results because I forgot to take them and it was already thursday (my procedure was done on a monday). So I decided to simply wait until the following week to take pictures. Since week 1 I have continued to go to the gym 5x a week as usual. I have limited myself to eating out once a week. I don't think I see any results. Also since my procedure, (21 days). The only follow up email I got from Dr. Rajani was when I requested my "before" pictures. In fact he didn't email me, it was his assistant. Pretty disappointed that Dr. Rajani hasn't followed to ask how I felt or if there were any improvements. Once again the last picture shows me flexing to show any improvement in abdominal muscle visibility.

The Clinic was under Dr. Rajani. I spent 0 minutes with him on the phone. All my questions via phone were answered by his assistant Alexa who had been trained to perform coolsculpting. When I got to the clinic the assistant Alexa didn't even attend me or carry out an evaluation. The assistant apparently had an assistant named Aimee who carried out the evaluation and the procedure itself. Alexa would step in ocasionally for 30 seconds or so. The clinic's wall showed that Alexa had a certification to perform Coolsculpting but nothing showed that Aimee was certified, she didn't even have a name tag or anything. Dr. Rajani came after I said I was going to get the procedure to say that I had made a good decision and that he was excited to see results then he stepped out and thats all I saw from him. In all honesty this was disappointing, after the procedure he didn't follow up with me at all and its been three weeks and have not heard from him. If anyone else has ever gone to him I would LOVE to know how your experience was. It is currently week 3 since my procedure and they say that it takes over two months to see results. At this point based on my results, or lack of results so far I would say that I do no suggest this procedure to anyone. Or perhaps at least not this location.
