Is Abdominal Bloating & Constipation Normal 2 Weeks After CoolSculpting?

I had my procedure almost 14 days ago. Ever since the procedure (one #8 on lower abdomen below my navel and two #4's diagonally on either side of my navel), I have had abdominal bloating and constipation. I have changed nothing in my life - from my healthy diet to daily walking exercise and stretching. I'm concerned about this and wonder if it's normal or should be reported?

Abdominal bloating 2 weeks after Coolsculpting?

Yes, yes, and yes!!! I am a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon and had the procedure preformed on myself. I was bloated and quite uncomfortable for two weeks. I was also concerned and frustrated at 2 weeks. Usually my patients start to get relief between two and three weeks. Itching ensues for the next few weeks and then results become apparent at 9 -12 weeks. I went through this process myself and could not be happier! And better yet, I would do it... more

Bloating is possible for at lest a couple weeks. I know for me one day I was so bloated I looked pregnant. In my case I think it was mainly constipation. When I want to 'help things along', I drink a cup of Smooth Move, a herbal tea before bed. When I wake up I have a nice poop and then life is good. So I did this when I felt really bloated and things got back to normal and I didn't look pregnant any more. Might want to try the tea, much gentler than pills.
