3.5 months

Last Monday i went to my doc for BA postop appt as well as getting my pre and post pics of my arms. I would have to say it was worth it, the only bummer is that I forgot to ask for a post pic of my arms down because I thats the part i dislike the most. Anyway one thing I can notice right away is that the part that cannot be pinched still has more fat. While I was there I had a spot done on my abs, it was a small fat deposit from previous traditional lipo, about the size of a cookie on my right side above my belly button. They used a new flat hand piece, and since it did'nt hurt as much as the coolfit applicator i thought the results would not be as good as the arms. But i was wrong! I noticed a difference by the time I got home (4 hour drive). I have been wearing my old compression garment and so far that has helped with the numbness feeling. If today was 2 months post, I'd already be happy! Also, i don't have any bruising which I did bruise a bit with the arms. Anyway I'm super excited to try this on other small trouble spots! If they do come out with the double chin applicator I will be first in line!

I think it worked?

First, sorry I haven't updated, i had full intentions of updating right at 2 months which is when you are supposed to see final results. A few of my coworkers who were tracking my results have told me they coukd totally see a difference, i think i can see it too but up until last week the jury was really still out. :) a few weeks ago i visited my hometown, San Diego and it was pretty warm so i wore lots of sleeveless dresses and shirts. During my visit i mentioned to my sister that i had tried this coolsculpting thing and she didn't really say much about how my arms looked she seened more interested in the technology and science behind the procedure or so I thought! I figured she didnt comment because she didnt see a difference, its not like her to not voice her mind! I love her! Fast forward to last week, she calls me in the middle of the day and i didnt answer so she decides to text me. She wanted to know what that procedure was called because she thought my results looked great, she saw them right at the 2 month mark. Anyway i was kind of shocked, she isn't one to sugarcoat :). She has pretty much told all her friends about it and has shown them my pics. It was kind of funny, i was recommending a doctor in San Diego I've never met but i really like his before & after pics and i like all of his answers he posts to RealSelf, so in a way I feel like I can thank him this way for taking the time to answer our questions! Sorry about the long story but hearing it from my sister really convinced me that it worked. I have been working out too, but not nearly as much as i should. I have an appointment next month with my dr and I will get to see my before and afters at last! Will update again then.

At 3 weeks I can see a difference!

As I mentioned before I measured and wrote down the info but I failed to write down if I measured at the biggest, smallest or middle part of my arm. So I don't really know for sure but to me they do look slimmer. i will be excited to see my before & afters since those pics are taken from the same angle and distance. Here are some I took today.

I've had plenty of interaction with Lindsay the technician who will be doing my CS, she has been at Dr. Yates office almost every appointment I've been to (which has been a lot over the past year). She has excellent bedside manner and is very responsive to all of my questions, I know I'm in good hands.
