So i hurt my back and had 2 herniated discs in June just when i was starting to see results and i could not work out for 3 months i have been back to working out hard for about a month now.. it is crazy all of the sudden my belly is real flat so 10 months later, I did start to do Hit interval workouts so i am pretty sure that has helped i will post a picture but i do not know if it is because of cool sculpt or the Hit training i have been doing or both but i have slimmed down alot.

Don't waste your $$$ on the saddlebags. Not enough fat got in the 6.3" attachment & it didn't even feel cold. 3 days later & the skin isn't numb at all. Wait for the larger thigh attachment in October.

I am interested to see how your Coolsculpting turns out!  Your photos seem to be what Coolsculpting says is an ideal candidate.  I heard that softer fat works better with the machine then harder fat but I haven't actually used it myself! 

Good luck!  I can't wait to see the afters. :)

No, it has been 2 months today and maybe a half inch lost so far, and I am really working out, very frustrated.

I had my upper and lower abs done a week ago, and OM MY GOSH, I am in pain! The procedure itself does initially take your breath away but wasn't that bad. The after pain is a different story. I feel like someone is trying to pull my insides out---terribly painful! I was not prepared for this level of pain AT ALL!!!!! I called in this morning requesting pain pills. Hoping for some good results after all this.

Pain pills don't work. Get a nerve-blocker like, Neurontin. Some folks have had luck with Lidocaine patches.

Well I am on the 4th week since having the Coolsculpting procedure. The pain and numbness have finally subsided and I am starting to see some positive results. The cramping and stabbing pains lasted for two weeks. Had I been prepared for this debilitating pain it would have been a different story. I missed two days of work as a result. I ended up getting pain pills and Lidocaine patches saved me!!!! Make sure you have all of this in preparation! I can normally handle pain pretty well but this was awful. I have 30 more days and i will be able to let you all know if it was worth it or not :)

Well, just came from having my stomach done and dang did that hurt.. Felt like a mammogram the coolness did not bother me but the whole time it was like a bad pinching sensation, really bad was the last 5 minutes they have a massage mode and right as it came on it felt like i got a huge electrical shock, pressed the er button and she said that never happened before and maybe i was sitting up to straight because it laid me flat and then it went away, also when she massaged my belly it hurt like hell felt really bad bad burning sensation, i am better now i have a normal stomach although it is pins and needles feeling no more redness when i touch it but so far no bruising, was told to expect the shooting nerve pains in a few days, will update in a couple days. My lower belly measured 35inches and just right above belly button 33 inches.
