i tried the lipoderm and had great results. granted, my BF want all that high to begin with...i just had some extra around my lower abs. of course it could have been a number of things, cardio in the morning, diet, and workout. i tweaked diet and workout constantly. but i do think it at least helped with my bloating problem. i ordered a bottle of ab solve also and im gonna try that next. good luck chest! and have patience! ;)
