Coolsculpting completed

I got my last treatment June 23rd 2017. I Will say that the process was long and I didn't get the results I expected. What they didn't tell me was my BMI exceeded the treatment level which means I was too overweight to effective results

I am feeling like I should have just invested in lipo and got it done but I was scared of surgery these are pictures I took today. I think the cool scoping would work for someone who might be ten pounds overweight but CoolSculpting treatment does not work on heavier people including myself.

I do see results but not the dramatic results that was guaranteed I am also working out.

Oh, how frustrating. I hear you. I was told Kybella work, I skills have had Lipo.

I'm sorry that it didn't work for you. Where did you get the BMI information? Maybe that explains the 80% satisfaction. Have you tried a personal trainer and a dietician? It wouldn't be targeted fat loss, but you'd get overall results.

The doctor measures your BMI when you come in. Yes I go to the gym and have a trainer now. I am also eating right. However, the back fat was inherited by my mother so whenever I gain weight it goes straight to my back. I have lost 20 pounds already and do a lot of back exercises and I'm still heavy.

Thanks for responding. I meant where did you get the information about how overweight was too much? They should have said you weren't a good candidate and not taken your money! Anyway, keep working. People mostly see your front, so you look better than you think, especially having lost weight and being more toned.

They explained the BMI guidelines they said I was 26 but I think I was heavier around 28 or 29. The coolsculpting is measured off your BMI if your over a excessive amount then the coolsculpting won't work.

I felt they should have kept it real and said your close to being over the guidelines of the BMI requirements and I wasn't a good candidate. I would have invested in just getting lipo and being done. My friend said the pictures I just took make me look heavier than what I am in person. I've lost 10 pounds and all my shirts fit big. I still have the bra fat and considering just getting the lipo done.

I find the fact they did not tell you your BMI was too high a breach. This is why many practices are shady, always looking to make a profit regardless if the outcome will be positive. I went for lazoring once and requested photos and they stated they had some from the manufacturer. I asked for pictures they had from their clients. They told me they would email me them...and it has been over 6 months.. no email yet

I hear you. I expected more dramatic results for what I paid for. And now I might even get lipo done still.
