Has anyone tried cool sculpting? I saw a commercial and was a bit curious since the only issue I have is a small muffin top :/

Thanks for any reply!

Following... Been curious about this myself!

I've seen the commercial a few times. At first, of course, it makes the procedure seem great. Then the questions come flooding in. As I'm typing this, more questions are coming to mind. I'll limit myself to two for now. Where does that fat go/how does it exit the body? Is the banishment of the fat permanent? That's the thing I don't trust.

If you're talking about a muffin top, are you doing exercises to tighten the underlying muscles? Exercise is a chore for some while it becomes a love of others. In either case, it's a non-cockamamie, non-creepy process, it's free and there are no nasty surprises down the road.

I looked at a few videos on this. It seems to me like it is a frozen mammogram for your belly fat. The fatty part of your body is mashed between two chilled plates. People have a tendency to bruise really bad from it. That's not for me. I would be better off just laying down with some ice packs on me.

@@Miss Mac, and then what? You can't possibly mean that you have no faith in the latest au courant process which will revolutionize the road to beauty and perfection?

Maybe bariatric surgery for chubby toddlers is the solution. At such a tender age, a kid still has the ideal body -- that of an 18ish-year old -- to look forward to.

I would try realself.com. There should be people that have had it on there that have posted their experience.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
