I agree with you, andj...!!! Zeltiq/CoolSculpting is a JOKE! I went in for my 3-month check up yesterday. Not only have I seen ZERO results from the procedure... but for about 6 weeks I was even bigger and more bloated. That finally went away, and now I am exactly the same size as when I went in for the first time in August. I beg anyone considering this procedure to SAVE YOUR MONEY! Zeltiq does NOT work! This is a smoke and mirrors marketing hype designed to part consumers and their money. If people want to pay close to $1000 for numbness, tingling/stabbing, tremendous bloating, and after all that to not lose even a single quarter inch around a problem area -- then go ahead and give Zeltiq and your doctor close to $1000 for the pleasure of that. Hindsight is 20/20. I would rather have lit my money with a match or given it to a stranger, than to line the pockets of Zeltiq and doctors who peddle this lie.
I'm sorry that you did not see Any results. Personally, I found that Zeltiq is just a hyped up marketing smoke and mirrors game designed solely to part consumers and their money. I also saw ZERO results... and in fact, became more bloated for about 6 weeks after the procedure. Went in for a 3-month check up yesterday... the nurse also gave me No explanation as to why it did not work. For the God-awful amount of money they charge, there should at least be Some kind of result. No one is asking for a miracle and the stomach of a 20 year old. But to pay close to $1000 and get absolutely nothing in return is ripping off the consumer. Zeltiq is a Joke. I plan to tell as many people as I know to stay away from it and save their money. A class action lawsuit should be in order for the thousands of women they've probably ripped off across the US.
I'm coming up on two weeks since having it done on my stomach. They used the small applicator on me. 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. I haven't felt the pain you describe (it only bothered me for a day afterwards), and I never had to take Advil. I only felt the slightest cramping, but no numbness. I am much more concerned that my stomach is so bloated that I now look significantly "bigger" (almost two weeks later) than when I went in for the procedure...! Not happy about this... at all...! I paid $750 for the treatment. I've searched a bunch of bulletin boards and no one seems to give a definite answer on when the bloating will go away. I'm not a whiner... this is definite bloating, where my stomach now sticks out noticably with jeans, dresses and skirts. I have a little Buddha belly now, which looks silly on my frame. 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.
