Just had my procedure done 7/15/15. I actually was asleep the first hour but when those suction cups came off and the nurse started the rubbing of what's called the "butter stick"...oh my lord....the pain. It was like a burning sensation. Which I've been felling these past 3 days...Tylenol helps. I've been up all night though! I I'd put ice that helps and warm compresses. I just want to know when will it stop! And no the doctors don't tell you about the pain that can last for several days. They tell you minimum pain and you can return to your normal activities. Hope you can tolerate pain if you decide to get this done. I've have noticed a flatter stomach and your stool will be something different of course that's how your body gets rid of the dead fat.
