Cool Sculpting - Torture - Albany, NY

I was interested in trimming my waistline/ lower abdomen and for lack of a better term muffin top.

After hearing about this new procedure cool sculpting I decided to head in for a consultation.

Because it was a significant amount of money and I was also nervous my husband came with me to the consult.

Upon asking if there was pain I was told under no uncertain circumstances that there is "no pain" "no down time" and it "would not interfere with my every day routine."

I don't know if I am more pissed off about being completely bullshitted or due to the fact that I have been suffering for 6 days now... Here is what you can expect from cool sculpting:

I had two large applications on my upper abdomen, one large applicator on my lower, two on my lower flank areas and 2 on my bra/back line.

Throughout the entire procedure with each large applicator I was in pain- it felt like a deep stabbing and aching which is difficult to explain.... This was nothing compared to once the applicators were removed and the "massaging" began.

I absolutely writhed in pain and for a good 10 minutes I shook and sweated in complete agony and I paced back and forth praying the pain would end... Eventually it subsided just in time to start another area... This continues for 5 hours ...

After the procedure I was exhausted, numb, freezing and miserable...

Day 2: still numb and the most swollen I have ever been, wearing compression but feeling enormous amount of pressure.

Day 3: skin is crawling and I am so incredibly swollen - what I wouldn't give to go back and reverse my decision- I am so angry with the company for feeding me a bunch of BS just to make their money

Day 4: numbness is still prevalent and I am as swollen as ever- I look like a sausage and nothing is fitting right. Even worse today late onset pain began, I am struggling to work and constantly distracted it feels like ants are crawling inside you all over the treatment areas with hornets stinging you non stop with pain radiating like a ripple effect through your body.... I tried cold packs, compression, Tylenol and nothing is working.

Monday... Day 5: more pain ... Swelling and pain seem to increase dramatically as the day goes on- I am struggling to keep my wits but this is draining every ounce of strength out of me. I do t know what to do - I'm finding it impossible to sleep. I hate every second of this.

Day 6 ... Tuesday... Just when I thought it couldn't get worse... It has - same pain but deeper and more frequent, I am wide awake and it's almost midnight ... I laid down at 9:30... God this is hell and I wish I never did it... I also am still completely swollen to be honest even if I wasn't NOTHING is worth this - I wonder how many people experience this... I can't even manage the pain - I am calling the facility tomorrow - if I make it through tonight. All I want to do is sleep- this is torture

Thank you all for your comments. I found a cold ice pack directly on my stomach at night to help ease the pain works for temporary relief. Wednesday was the same torture all day long- absolutely mentally and physically exhausting I made it to the day as the pain increased as the night progressed it was the same long sleepless night.

Today is Thursday I found the paint to be more intense this morning however I also did get my monthly which I'm not feeling at all due to the pain I am already in. Thankfully the pain has eased up a little throughout the day, I pray that it's not going to come back tonight however I will keep you all updated. Being as I work with a lot of doctors perform this type of cosmetic procedure I have been told that this many treatments using a large Advocator especially is ill advised, most medical professionals will break it up between 2 days.
