Abdominal bloating/swelling, weight gain after CoolSculpting?

kau77
I had coolsculpting done to my lower abdomen and flank region 3 days ago, initially it was very numb, but now it almost looks like I'm pregnant. My lower abdomen is sticking out more than before..I don't think I've been eating that bad and have been exercising. Is this normal and when does it get better? I've also gained 2 lbs!
