So right after posting last weeks pictures I started taking the gabapentin for the nerve pain, omg has that been a help. Today is the first day I have been able to wear jeans without my abdomen bothering me. I still wear spanx on a daily basis.
Feeling better still have some numbness and itching. I don't know that I see a difference yet. I'm having my love handles and bra fat done on 10/20.

Since going thru menopause having more difficulty dropping weight. Thought this would be a great way to help get some shaping without surgery. I am now 8 days out from the procedure. I had 5 areas done on my abdomen, and planned on doing back, love handles and inner thighs. These pic's are from 8 days out.

Hi Anita, I'm a nurse in Northern California and I do CoolSculpting all day long. If you are having stinging, sharp shooting pain, and cramping, ask for a medication called Neurontin. This is what we give our patients if they are having post procedure pain. It works on the nerve endings that causing the pain. 100mg 3 x a day for a week. Good Luck!
