Since I got diagnosed with PCOS 3 years ago and gained a little bit of weight in my thighs, stomach, & butt, I've become more self conscious about my body and have considered Emsculpt or Coolsculpting. My boob's got a little bit bigger too. I'm a 38DD instead of a D now. Everything changed during the peak of the pandemic when everything got shut down & plus I've been chronically stressed working in toxic work environments. Has anyone gotten Emsculpt before? Did it work?

Idk about emsculpt but coolsculpting was the biggest waste of money. Also for the cost I might as well have straight up done lipo or something.

Depending on your size - I feel like for Emsculpt you would need to to have a lil pudgy belly but not a protruding stomach to see results and not waste your money on so many sessions.

Have you tried Ovasitol supplements? I’m considering trying that.

Interesting. Let’s see if the uptick In cases continues to drive an uptick in hospitalizations and then in fatalities. Depends on how many of the cases are incidental or in very young people not prone to severe cases. But either way, look at the hospital capacity utilization figures! This is the untold story. Were we bending the curve to avoid unnecessary deaths due to overcrowded hospitals, or were we bending the curve to buy time for treatments and vaccine, or just to slow fatalities?
