Posted 12 Dec 2011

Im 5ft 5in and weigh 140 lbs. I dont have any children but have a little pouch I cant get rid of. I had my lower and upper abs done on 12-6-11. I was suppose to have one cyle with the large device, but it could not get a good suction so I ended up having two cycles with the small device. The initial suction on my lower abs was painful but tolerable. Within a few minutes I didnt feel anything. The tech made sure I was comfortable. She was the same person I had the consult with. I never saw the Dr. When the tech took the device off it look like I had a stick of butter under my skin. It was cold and sore. She massaged it back down.

The second cyle on my upper abs HURT. She said it was because I didnt have much fat on my upper abs. I had trouble trying to catch my breath. I didnt say anything to her until it was over. I tried doing relaxation excercises and finaly fell asleep.

I did light exercises the next day with no discomfort. But by the fourth day I woke up with what felt like needles sticking me all over my stomach. She said I would have stinging but I didnt know it would be like this. I had to take something to help me rest. She also said I might have some bloating but I havent. My abs are sore to touch. Water from the shower hurts and I cant lay on my stomach. I dint have any bruising. Since I am easy to bruise she told me no alcohol, vitamins and aspirins five days prior to the procedure. I cant wear anything tight. They told me to come back in 3-6 months to compare the before and after pictures. The results will help me determine if it was worth the price and the pain.

1 small device is $750
1 large device is $1500

My rating:

The rating is for the tech. She was very nice and professional. She answered all my questions and gave me other helpful info. I have not had my follow up yet, but they did mention it. Payment was due at the time of the procedure. I had a lond wait for the consult but not for the procedure.

I was wondering if you are seeing any results yet...also how long did the pain last? Where did you go for treatment? I'm in Mobile and have been thinking about having coolsculpting for a while now...
