I had very little pain, just a deep soreness as if I'd done a ton of crunches. But I do mean a TON OF CRUNCHES. I was really sore. I couldn't bend over from the waist sore--I had to kneel down to feed the cats, I couldn't just bend over and fill the bowls. Wearing a compression garment helped (I wore my spanx to bed). The soreness didn't last too long with me, then I got the tingles and while those were strange and slightly uncomfortable, they weren't bad. My whole experience was uncomfortable but not unbearable. I guess there is no predicting what's going to happen.
Thanks for sharing your experience and words of encouragement. It means a lot to me. I'd hate to think I spent this much money for nothing. I'll keep drinking my water and will try to be patient.
I had two done: my upper and lower abs. Small applicator on the lower, large on the upper. I keep wondering if results are happening that I just can't see because I look every day. But my pants still fit exactly the same, so I don't think anything is happening.
Thanks for the encouragement. This will sound really stupid, but I'm worried that my lack of trouble with the procedure may mean I won't get the greatest results. I had some discomfort afterwards, but nothing like what others have gone through. The technician did tell me that she expects great results for me because she was able to get lots of flesh up into the applicator. I'm also fairly fit--I'm just fighting that mid-life pooch. I long to be able to sit down without my stomach bulging out in two rolls. I'll just keep hanging on for that 3- to 4-month mark.
I will be at the 5-week mark this week, and I'm not seeing any results. Did the results happen gradually for you, or did it happen all at once? Right now I'm a bit disappointed and worried that this won't work for me.
