Since my cool sculpting procedure, I have leaned out tremendously, through diet and exercise. I no longer have the body fat in my trouble areas. Very happy w my results

Lol! Yeah. I didn't tell my husband about the procedure... And during the middle of the night I had horrible stabbing pains causing me to curl up in a ball. I had to tell him I thought it was nerve pain from my C section ;)

Still not sleeping well. I called my dr's office and they suggested tylenol or motrin...that doesnt work at all. the pain, however, is minimizing in the location of my abdomen, but the severity is still strong. Im counting down the days until my 2 week mark, which is the magical number that im receiving from the office staff as to when this discomfort will end. whew! i also have to keep reminding myself that i did this at my own elect, so complaining and whining is null and void...lol.

did you try ice packs? Its the only thing that brought me any relief, but it really works. I would actually wear them while sleeping and change it during the night if necessary. Days 5-10 were the worst, but day 10 it was very tolerable, no ice necessary, but not completely gone until 14. Hang in there...

4 weeks post CS

4 weeks post CS and so far so good. After the grueling first week, I have minimal numbness and visible changes. This comes with a hike in my cardio regimen and tweaks in my nutrition. But, if it takes 90 days for optimal results, I am definitely excited to see more changes!

thing is you seem like a person who probably looked that way before your kids and you know how to eat and train properly - so its hard to tell is it the procedure or your habits that caused the change, y' know?

I totally understand. The reason why I got the procedure was bc even with dieting and exercise, the fat pockets in those areas were not changing. It was really frustrating. I will post my before and afters that my PS took which is in a 12 week time span so u can see a fair comparison :)

Day 5 post CS and I have barely slept. Shooting pains, burning sensations and downright stinging on my abdomen. I was expecting discomfort like this from the research I did before the procedure so I'm not upset but it is quite painful ((on a 1-10 scale... It's about an 8)). From research, I'm aware it could be up to 2 weeks for this to disappear... I've read neurotin and a lidocaine patch can help... Calling my dr today. :/
