I'll be having Coolsculpting done in a couple of days....I chose to start off with my lower flanks just to see my pain tolerance etc..

I have a very high pain threshold (2 very long labour natural births with no pain meds) but some say this pain lasts for days/weeks, I will provide my input on pain once I've completed the procedure.

I've done lots of research on this. I have PCOS so find it very hard to lose weight around my middle despite eating healthy 80% of the time and exercising on a regular basis.

Will be posting my before pics on Sunday :-)

The stomach area definitely is a little more uncomfortable than the flanks! I laughed which caused a little bruising if I didn't laugh I would have zero bruising. My stomach is still swollen today since I just had it done yesterday, it's very tender to touch and painful if I do but not painful enough to take meds. I think my stomach will show great results just need to give it time, im so busy so the time will fly! I have a check up in 8 weeks....I'll feel much better once the swelling is done. I'm pretty much much changing my lifestyle because I need to see if this works. I will continue with bootcamp about 3 times a week once the swelling goes and will eat somewhat healthy like I used, I have a sweet tooth so I do indulge now and again.

If there's one thing I can help you with is to make sure you get some Aspercreme with Lidocaine and a waist trainer/ wrap and wear it for at least a week or so it helps with the discomfort. I will be going back in on Nov. 5th to do my lower back I've already had my upper/lower abs and my flanks done twice and I have lost 1 an a half inches.

I live in Canada and there is not much you can get OTC, I haven't seen Aspercreme or Lidocaine. When I asked the pharmacist she said only prescription meds is available for nerve pain nothing over the counter and she said she didn't know of any OTC creams I could use! The pain is horrible! I can't even function I've been miserable for 6 days....my flanks were a breeze!

I took these pics last night. My appointment is later today.

I don't normally go by the scale, I prefer to track my fat %. My youngest is 6 years old and no matter what exercise I do or eating plan I follow I have always maintained the same waist circumference for the 6 years. I feel that after I gave birth to my youngest my body has stalled. Nothing I do seems to have an effect on my stomach area I'm confident that I've worked hard and tried everything so this is the next step for me.

I do not want to change my current exercise or eating habits because I really want to see if Coolsculpting works!

I will post the after pics soon ????

I'm so excited, I'm confident that this is going to work! I'm currently having my right side suctioned. I had the applicator positioned twice and each time it popped off I think it's because of the angle that the applicator was placed, it was not grabbing enough fat.

The 3rd attempt was better we moved it to another part of my love handles. My fat does not fill the whole applicator it goes half way, they say it's a good pull if the fat touches the back of the applicator. I'm hoping my half pull would still be great.
