Update: I'm now a couple days past the first month since having Zeltiq done... and I still have really tremendous bloating. I really am twice the size I was in my stomach before having it done. I do not have any pain... just major bloating. I doubt I would do this again. It's a lot of money to take a gamble on... but no guts, no glory. Too bad, I was hoping for better results. From everything I've read, they say by a month into it, any bloating should have resolved and the benefits kick in over the next month. I'm thinking that may not be the case with me.

I'm past two weeks since having a CoolSculpting session done on my stomach. They used the small applicator on me ($750). I am naturally thin: 5'9", 130 pounds... but... I had that stubborn belly pouch. Exercise and portion control did nothing for me, so I was excited to try Zeltiq/CoolSculpting. After it was finished (1 hour) I felt initial cramping for about an hour after the procedure... and a couple times over the following days, but nothing really bad at all. I did not even need to take Advil. Some people have written about numbness, but I never had that either. However, my biggest complaint is that my stomach is so bloated that I now look significantly "Bigger" than when I went in for the procedure...! Not happy about this! I've searched a bunch of bulletin boards and no one seems to give a definite answer on when the bloating will go away. My stomach now sticks out noticably with jeans, dresses and skirts. It is about two times bigger than when I went in for the procedure. Not sure I would recommend this to friends. Maybe I will change my mind after two to four months, when they say you see the best results. Two weeks into it, though... I am not a believer yet. Has anyone else had bloating... and for how long?
