WORTH IT$1,900
i forgot to mention yesterday that i haven't been working out because i wanted to make sure, if i was losing inches, it was from the procedure and not from me working out. So now i will start working out again and hopefully that will help me slim down more :)

Positive thoughts will be coming your way! :) My procedure was at 9 a.m. exactly 2 weeks ago on a Friday. :) Yes, some people end up having multiple treatments on the same area to improve their results. I really wish I could press the fast forward button to see what it looks like 3 months from now. Let us know how it goes!

missy in michigan i hope you are doing good with the procedure :) did you go to the one in shelby or livonia?
June 7, 2012
I DID IT!!!!!!! :D I hope I'll be happy with the procedure. ....I had no idea how much fat I really had!! lol It gets sucked up into that machine and you can see all of it!! ha!
It wasn't as bad as I antisipated....which is a very good thing. On the phone when I made the appointment they told me that they would give me a pain pill....but in order for me to be able to take one, I had to have a driver. So I begged my mom to take me, it was an 1.5 hour drive.....and when we got there they wouldn't give me one!! :( I was there for a little over 3 hours so I felt really bad for my mom!! :( They told me I didn't need one....turns out they were right, thank goodness!!
I did go to the one in Shelby Twp...what a nice place!!! And yes, I thought the staff was pretty nice there too!! The bad part is, is that I planned on paying $1,900 but ended up paying $2,900. :( ...But I guess that's even good b/c I got more treatment area done. ...I still don't understand how they came up with that #...it still seems like $500 too much.....but I'm sure they're right. ...I just hope I'm not going to regret it!!
But yes....so far, I'm experiencing everything you said I would.....SO THANK YOU SO MUCH for being so thorough!!! I plan on writing everything down so I won't forget so I can pass the word along too!! :))) Oh...and THANK YOU for thinking of me! ;)

i'm glad everything went good for you. Why was your price $1,000 more, did you get more done? i had my lower stomach and love handles. I hope you get through the next couple weeks easy and quick, once you get to the 4 weeks mark you should start to see some results :)
June 8, 2012
Thank you! ;) I'm feeling pretty good right now. Yes, I got more treatment done. they talked me into it. lol i was going to get even more done but I had to stop myself! haha I wanted my thighs done but I have never seen any pictures of those. I wonder if the results are good. A friend of mine wants to have her thighs done and I don't know what to tell her. Have you seen or heard what the outcome is for those??
Thanks for the encouragment!! Keep posting on your outcome!! :))

Congrats! :) I am glad that it went well and you are feeling pretty good!! I actually asked about getting my thighs done, too! The only treatment area that is FDA approved is the stomach, love handles, and back. The nurse shared that I could try it on my thighs, but there is absolutely no gaurantee because it hasn't been approved for that area of the body. Bummer for us!!! Keep us updated Missy in Michigan!

i was told that sometime this year (i think at the end of the year) they will coming out with a thigh/arm attatchment. The thigh results are hit and miss, i think because the attatchments are just not shaped for that area
June 12, 2012
Thanks Jen!! :) Yes, it did go well! I think I will probably do my thighs at some point if I like the results of this. I'm so hoping I will!!
Are you guys dieting or exercising or doing anything at all different?
It's day 5 for me and I'm in a lot of pain. I couldnt sleep last night and I just called the office and had them call me in a perscription for a pain med. Did you guys have to have any??

I just started excercising again, i wanted to wait and see if i was seeing results from the procedure before i started working out because i wanted to make sure the results were coming from the procedure and not from excercising. I didn't have to take medication for pain, my pain started around day 5 also and the worst days for me were 7-9 but on day 10 the pain was pretty much gone. Just hang in there because there is an end to the discomfort. Keep me updated :)

I had cool sculpting done 3 weeks ago. Haven't noticed any changes except maybe I feel BIGGER?? Hoping this will go away and I will start to notice at least some small improvements before too long...anyone else experience this??
June 8, 2012
Takeabreak-yup, completely normal to feel bigger because of the swelling. I had my procedure done on 5/25 and two days ago was the first day that I didn't feel bloated. It gets better-I promise!!!!

4 weeks- nothing new to update except for the pictures :) i'm not having any new "symptoms" and feel great. I didn't realize any results in my love handles untill i compared my before and after pics, but in my stomach i notice a lot, i feel like the pictures don't show the difference as much and they do in person. Either way so far i think this is worth it. I probably won't post again until my 6 week mark and i will post new pics then too :)

Missy in Michigan-I agree with steph620. The first 8 minutes were uncomfortable, but once you get through that, you are fine! At the end of the procedure the nurse massaged the stomach skin, which was a bit odd feeling, but not painful. She explained that that helps to kill off additional fat cells. Keep telling me that because that's what i want to hear! I am feeling GREAT 11 days post procedure and do not regret it at all!!!
steph620-wow! you can totally see the results in your stomach! I wish I would have thought to do before/after photos. They did them at the office, but that's it. Guess I will have to wait until my three month follow up. :) Are you planning to do additional treatments?

thank you, i am excited with the results i got so far, i am hoping they keep getting better in the next few weeks, im not sure if i will do more treatments, i will probably wait for the 3 months to be up and go from there. I do have a feeling i will want to do my love handles again though, i guess time will tell :)

Did you see results after just your first of the three procedures?

today has been 3 weeks. I started having this weird tickling/tingling feeling in my stomach, it almost feels like someone is rubbing a feather across my belly....idk how else to explain it. I am definitely noticing a difference in my stomach, it seems like everyday it gets alittle smaller. Nothing in my love handles though, i hope it is just taking alittle longer and it will work because the only reason i wanted to do this was because of them, but im not losing hope yet, its only been 3 weeks. Well thats about it for this week, im hoping to post pics next week :)

Thank you so much for posting your experience! I had my stomach done on Friday and it's now Tuesday. I still feel numb around and below my belly button. I also think the area is a bit swollen, which I didn't know could possibly happen. I am hoping the pins and needles sensation goes away very soon!
June 1, 2012
Hi Steph620 - thank you for sharing your experience. I too had the procedure 7days ago. I am feeling serious discomfort pain and was getting worried that what I was feeling was not right. After reading your story I saw that what I was experiencing was normal so I stopped freakin out over it. I am very curious and hopeful it will work. Still very swollen to see a difference in my tummy. Thanks again for your story it helped!
June 2, 2012
Hi Psychgirl, Thank you for your post. We both have had similar experiences. I am on day 8 post procedure and am still experiencing a lot of discomfort and swelling.
June 2, 2012
Ditto for me on day 8 and yes still feelin like pooh but swelling has gone down some. I just got some pain meds that hopefully will work. What my practitioner said is that those people who experienced our symptoms have gotten a very good result. If that's true I should look like a skinny supermodel when I'm done! Lol - Not likely but I'd be happy if the treated area just looks flat. Keep the faith Jenn1979 this will pass soon enough:)
June 3, 2012
jenn1979 and psychgirl- i hope your discomfort goes away soon, it was a tough few days when i had that pain but there is a light at the end of the tunnel. I know this has worked on my stomach but i'm worried about my love handles, they just aren't seeming to change at all...i'll be posting my 4 week photos on tuesday :)
my appointment is tomorrow and I am getting quite anxious. Thank you BOTH for your encouragment....and as embarrassed as I am..i think i will do before and after pics too! Think of me at 9am girls!!! ;)
