WORTH IT$3,500
It has been 3 weeks since I have had my procedures done. I no longer have any discomfort pain and no longer have to take tramadol. Within the last week I have a few episodes of serious internal itch on my abs. i have been rubbing aveeno soothing lotion and it seems to calm it down. I do see a difference. My stomach is no longer swollen and one of pants are a little loose. My doctor told me that I would see the best results in 2 months and I am so excited. I am really happy to have had the procedures done and cant wait for the final results.

Hello! I know this was a while ago, but I just had the coolsculpting procedure 4 days ago and I am in EXTREME pain... they prescribed me Gabapentin but it's NOT working... found some old Tramadol 50mg in my cupboard and popped one, but I'm worried it won't be enough. Do you remember the dosage you were taking?? 50mg? 100mg? That would be super helpful, thanks! (I also found some old Vicodin that I will take as a last resort, obviously NOT mixing it with the Tramadol because that would be BAD...)
I am on day 5 and the pain is so bad. I took two Tramadol 50 mg. Will let you know how it goes.

Day 8 and 9: It has been about a week since my procedure on my back bra and lower abs and I must say that I can see a little difference. The swollen is going down and finally can get into my jeans with no discomfort. I am still taking tramadol first thing in the morning. I am feeling the tingling sharp pain around 2pm so I take another tramadol to relieve it. I also take one prior to going to bed. I have had no issues with sleeping and no pain that i initially had. Again thank goodness for tramadol! Few reviews I read that doctors prescribed neurotin for their patients who also had the sharp pain and my doctor said it would take a little while before it would take effect in the system. I recommend not to take neurotin if thats the case. I have no discomfort with my love handles or upper abs (though my upper abs are still a bit bruised). So far I am excited to see the outcome of the procedure. I also have been able to run as usual; except no ab or core workouts.

Hi there, welcome and thanks for sharing your very detailed journey with us! Reviews like yours are so helpful to the community. Sounds like you've had quite a bit of pain. I've read quite a few reviews and pain seems to differ so much depending on the individual, I'm glad you can get some relief with your painkillers though!

Has your provider told you when you can expect to see results?

I have zero tolerance for pain! I was overwhelmed with the sharp pains and sleeplessness nights. Past few weeks now and I have no pain and i can see the difference. I was told best results would be in 2 months so I have one more to go.

Oh awesome, I'm so glad the pain has gone for you now! Now it's just a waiting game for your results, but I'm sure it will be worth it!

We would love to see some before/after pics, if you have any you're comfortable sharing!

Day 5: I have been taking tramadol for my sharp intolerable pain on my lower abs for 2 days now. I take it as soon as i get up and right before i go to bed. I have been sleeping like a baby these past few days : )

Day 6: I decided to do my love handles and upper abs. Again thank goodness for tramadol. I still have the same routing of taking it as soon as i get up and before i go to bed. The procedures for both areas were painless and I am happy I did it. Throughout the day I dont feel any discomfort. All areas that i have had the procedures done are still swollen and my upper abs are a bit bruised. I have read many reviews and I have felt the sharp pain that was described with other patients but tramadol has made the experience a painless one. I would not consider doing this with it out and wish it was prescribed to me prior to the procedure.

Day 7: I am still swollen in all areas but I ran this morning without any discomfort. Still taking my morning tramadol and evening dose. I start to feel the tingling sharp pain around 6pm and then take my evening dose of tramadol.
