I do not know anyting about lipodissolve but I appreciate you sharing your experience.

I have researched the internet and can't find much info on Lipodissolve so I'm anxious to see your website.  

The website is up now.  www.lipodissolvedoessuck.com   I've also added a forum.  I will soon be adding a chat feature.

I want to give everyone an updated on my refund process - this is my third post regarding my horror story with Lipodissolve (Fig.).   I had been leaving messages for the Tonya (the refund person) at LD headquarters in St Louis to find out if they had received my photographs and measurements from my consultation.  After a couple weeks I had still not heard anything, so  I left a message for her supervisor (Jaime Baker) and still didn’t get a response.  Finally last weekend I sent an email threatening to go to the BBB if I couldn’t get a call backBack pain - low

Two days after that, I received another call from Tonya asking if I had been in for my measurements and photographs.  I was shocked.  I had just spoken to her two days prior to this regarding this very issue.  I reminded her of this (I am beginning to think that either she is not very bright or she is so overwhelmed with refund requests that she doesn't know what she's doing).  She again asked me about the fact that I had already had 5 treatments and I had to tell her yet again (this is the 4th or 5th time now) that I had a severe allergicAllergic conjunctivitis

If someone could please explain to me why I have to keep repeating my story every single time this lady Tonya decides to call me and why nothing is going the way it should with the refund process?!  Tomorrow I'm calling the OP office to find out what is going on and then I'm going to start writing letters to mail out to every person in Fig. headquarters and if I don't get the response I need, I'm calling the BBB.  I am so furious and frustrated.  

refund for why ?? what place ? any info would be great

HI Ang- Wow. Sounds like you and I have had similar problems, although I have not had my final consultation yet. I started Lipodissolve in July 2006 and have had 6 treatments to 3 areas (paid $6,000)..This is FIG - ADVANCED LIPODISSOLVE CENTER in St Louis.   This has actually made me gain weightDifferent types of weight gain

Hi all - I think if you want to see a story on the potential dangers of fig. advanced lipodissolve - then here is a story you should see.  Click the link to go to a Las Vegas TV stations undercover investigation.

I hope the lady featured in this story got her money backBack pain - low

I just felt compelled to respond to your post about the TV story.  I currently work at fig. and have experienced great results from the lipodissolve treatments I've received.  My arms have always been a problem area for me, and I always told myself that I would have liposuctionLiposuction
Liposuction - series if I could ever afford that procedure.  When I decided to try lipodissolve, the Dr. that performed my treatments told me that arms were a difficult area to treat, but I had reasonable expectations and stuck to the protocol and recommendations that were prescribed to me.  It's been several months since my last treatment, and my arms have never looked better.  I have worn sleeveless shirts all summer, and I'm not self-conscious about my arms anymore.  I LOVE this procedure, and would recommend it to anyone who has stubborn areas of fat.  I know that there are some people who do not respond to treatment, and there are side effects that are explained very clearly before treatment begins.  It seems that you only hear the negative stories in the media, but I know firstFirst progesterone mc10

I am in a similar situation.  I am a "non-responder" (I'm told 5% of us are).  I am also a lawyer.  I was told that in order to get a refund, you have to go through three additional treatments.  Then someone else decides if you should be satisfied.  Then you get your money.  Supposedly.  But when I went in for my firstFirst progesterone mc10
