Why did I faint with Coolsculpting? After neck, I was doing outer arms & lower ab when I began to feel something was wrong!

Asked By:Greengrass02 in Mission Viejo, CA

I gave triage instructions as much as I could manage. I told them to get ice packs and cool me down. I was overheated. I told them I felt like I was going to pass out. I told them to remove the abdominal device. Things went from bad to worse. I heard them say get the smelling salts. I turned white, blood pressure dropped, pulse lowered, and I passed out! lost control of all bodily functions. Threw up; intestines released. Was 'off' for 3 hours later
