A clinic near me has an offer on at the moment, and i am very tempted to try this, but I'm not sure if it really works, or if I'll just be swapping a perfectly good cow fr some magic beans!

Any experiences would be very much appreciated.

Thanks folks

I seen this on the TV Show The Doctors around a month ago. Right now it's only being done on the stomach area in the US and it's running around $2,000 USD. I have to admit, I was incredibly interested once I'd heard about it, and they did say it does work. It takes the body around 3-4 months to completely rid the burned fat cells out of the body through our urine. Quite interesting.

Hopefully someone with first hand knowledge will check in!!!

I'm too lazy to look up the source right now, but a massive paper just came out in the last year basically saying Lipo becomes ineffective as soon as a year after the procedure - basically every single woman in the study regained the weight, albeit elsewhere. That regain is often worse than the original weight distribution - my mom's friend had regular lipo on her lower abdomen and then she gained 10 lbs....ALL above her bellybutton, so she had this ridiculous, massive shelf protruding above her bellybutton and then a perfectly flat stomach underneath. She was completely disfigured by it and wishing she had never done it.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
