  • Posted to It is Painful. Don't Let the Other Reviewers Fool You! - Miami, FL on 20 May 2012

    Update: Well 8 months later and I can't really recommend this procedure. While I do see a difference, there was just too much recovery time and pain. One side is smaller than the other with the area treated now pouchy and loose. In addition the fat just moved up, so I looked pregnant! A month ago I started a weight loss diet due to high blood sugar so I am seeing more results from just eating right than I saw from Coolsculpting. I guess there are no easy answers. Would have rather had full on lipo if I was going to have this little result for that much pain.

    I had the same and everyone kept saying that I was the only one and that only 16 patients had ever had this result which is obviously not true. I was on Vicodin, Percocet, and Oxycodone before being prescribed Gabapentin which is the only thing that worked. I was in pain for about a month for a procedure that claimed no downtime. Results were about an inch as I started with about a 2 inch roll. But since it took so long to be pain free I gained ten pounds because I was in so much pain that I had to order in a lot an couldn't really exercise. And that fat moved up and to the love handles instead so now I have to treat those areas with something!

    I actually gained ten pounds because I was in intense pain for a month and unable to do much or want to cook. Had to order in a lot or do fast food.

    Yep. I am an expert on this now. I had pain for about a month. Do get the Gabapentin (Neurontin). It is the only thing that works. Sorry you have to wait two more days.

    You are not alone. I had INTENSE pain for about a month and they kept saying the same thing to me. I really wish that the company and the doctors would stop lying to patients because it makes us scared that we are having a unique experience. I was told that only 16 people had EVER had the pain I was having which can't have been true. On these forums alone you can find more people than that who have experienced extreme pain. Have your doctor prescribe Gabapentin which is a nerve blocker and the only thing that helped me.
