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.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
