WORTH IT$900
I have had 2 coolsculpting treatments thus far, and am somewhat pleased with the results.... but i have already spent 200 dollars!!! for 100 more i coulda had liposuction of my ab, flanks, and lower back, which i am scheduling next week..... zeltiq is a fine option if u want mediocre results, but i shoulda gotten LIPO and saved 2000!!!

Yea- agree there Marky- thought you were happy there with the results you were getting. I know for me- am trying to step up the work out and discipline myself more on my diet to get the best results I can jmg2009

Had my abs done four days ago. Experiencing numbness, severe soreness and shooting type electrical pains. I am very surprised at the degree of pain both during and following this procedure. Nothing like this was even mentioned to me when I went for a consult. I am in the early stages of healing and am trying to remain positive. If I achieve a 20 or 25% reduction, I will be thrilled. I,too, thought of liposuction but decided to give this a try first. I am also wearing a SPANX garment which really helps with the numbness and soreness. I am even sleeping in it. I am hoping in three or four weeks all of this will be behind me.

Its hard to comment on your post because quite honestly, I think you got a really goos result. If I looked half as good as you do without clothes I would be a happy camper so I honerstly don't see why you want lipo. Just my two cents ... BTW, that last pic you posted of yourself fully nude - WOWZA! :-))) '

Liposuction is for real. The fat is sucked out and tossed! You can weigh the actual amount. You don't need to guess the amount of fat removal or loss. Yes, it is a surgery. I had inner thigh lipo with a local anesthesia (not general) and the discomfort for the next 2 weeks was more than I expected, but to me the cool sculpting sounds much worse. My results were permanent. The skill of the doctor really matters, though. No technician can do liposuction. The main thing is symmetry and, of course, adequate fat removal. But for $2000 you can get something long lasting and time proven. Best wishes to you.

Thank you for taking the time to post and keep us all informed. I myself am very much looking forward to seeing your final result. May I ask why you decided to go with this versus lipo? I am trying to decide between this and lipo and your posts are helping me with the decision especially considering that we seem to have similar body types.

I had cool sculpting 9days ago I am 5' 4" 129 lbs. I had the vaccum seal like hand pc. Attached to my lower and. The initial pain (first 8-10mins was nothing short of unbearable) Then it just felt like a super tight pair of jeans for the next 50mins. After the vacuum seal was released and the tech massaged the frozen area it for about 3 mins it was equally painful
as the initial placement. I am not sure If I could recommend this procedure, because Tylenol or pain meds does not really work on frost bitten sharp pain. Bottom line......I feel if we can all pay attention to our sugar and carb intake we will help ourselves in the long term.
May be I Need to start a blog support group for that:)))) Hope my feedback helps. Again this is just my opinion and experience, I am not sure if it's because I did not have a lot of fat to suck my pain was more intense because the device was closer to nerve endings and such. Anyhoos good luck!!!!!!!

I am now 8 days post procedure of abdominal...
I am now 8 days post procedure of abdominal coolsculpting of the abdominal area using the large handpiece. I keep reading about how there is NO recovery period for patients after coolsculpting, but this has been anything BUT painless. I had neck and chin liposuction with localized injections and infiltration of lidocaine and saline with traditional liposuction. NO pain, but Im still having these hot poker-bee sting like pains intermittently over the abdomen and flanks. I am relived to see this is harmless and will resolve in another week or so. I am still able to work just fine and carry on with activities but wouldve liked to have known that the post procedure pain was a possibility.

Thanks for posting, I am in a similar position, and am very curious how this turns out. Do you have a before and after pic? They say you can see a 10 percent reduction within a month or two... are you seeing that?

Yea that itch was no joke as the fat cells were dying. i kept rubbing the area than scratching as i wanted to. i would even apply moisturizers to help with the itch :)
