Hoping This Will Have Great Results -Maryland
I had heard about coolsculpting a few months ago...
I had heard about coolsculpting a few months ago and had decided to ramp up my workouts and clean up my diet before making the decision to try it. At my age and with hormonal issues, my belly fat (which I never had till I was over 50) would not budge, so I bit the bullet and went to have three areas treated (upper abs and love handles). It was funny for me to learn in the consult that the squishier the fat is, the more likely there will be a better outcome.
The only pain during the procedure was when they put the applicator on. It was a huge pinch, but it passed in under a minute, and once the cooling started, the procedure was quite comfortable. I do have to say I had swelling which is almost gone as of today (day 5). The bruising was also minor and is almost gone.
I'll keep updating here as I see results, but the technician and nurse practitioner said they expect an excellent outcome.

Tomorrw will be 2 weeks since I had my upper abs...
My first follow up with the doc is on 9/10, and at that point I will have them give me copies of my before and 2 month photos and will post them. I hope that will give some hope to the 'not so skinny with just a little bulge' crowd to consider trying this.

How have things gone so far? I just hit the two-week point and thank god the pain is gone! No results as of yet!
Phew that pain was pretty amazing...to describe it as numb or pins and needles was nothing close to the reality. I have a high threshold of pain and just toughed it out, but it was not a bit fun. I had no pain on days 1-3, then it kicked in after that and went up until day 12 or 13, gradually less every day after maybe day 8.
I'll stupidly submit to this again when I see what my full results are like.
Last Friday was my 4 week mark since I had my...
When I go for my first follow up in Sept I'm gonna have the lower abs done that same day since I am so thrilled with the results so far!
