Day 78/Week 11:
Today I went to the Clinic where I did the procedure to speak about the procedure.
I was tempted to see the before and after.
So when I got home, I took some pictures.
Looking at the before and after, I can now see a small change on my lower belly (don't know if it's because the procedure, boxing or because I'm back running and gym) I searched some back pictures 1 1/2year to 2 years before, and they look the same.
The love handles didn't had a single millimeter change. Didn't work at all.
My belly button still hurts when I start running and it's still numb around it.
After the procedure, I was thinking to do the love handles again if it had worked but as it didn't, I don't think I will spend any more $$$ on this procedure.
I was thinking the procedure went wrong on the love handles, but I know also, the chance for the machine to go wrong are very minimal.
At all my posting I only mentioned about myself. I had a friend and my girlfriend also did on the same week and they didn't see any results at all. They did on their legs. Just thought it would be nice to mention.
Also I have a friend doing his lower belly in Miami, I don't know the exactly place, with amazing results.
This could be my last post and, so far I wouldn't recommend Coolsculpting.
( If I see any changes, I will return and update again ).

I had this procedure on my love handles and lower belly last week and the week before. April 2016. I have the exact same symptoms. My belly button is very sore, I have major swelling and pain. Procedure itself wasn't painful or horrible. In fact, I fell asleep for the entire hour on my 2nd visit doing the opposite side. Lack of feeling in the area treated and very numb 4 & 7 days later as it is today. I was also given the Clear Change cleanse which I'm doing faithfully in hopes that will also deliver good results. The nerve healing is the shooting sharp pains I'm told. I went to Dr. Tonya Bordeaux in Irvine,Ca. at Gravity Spa. The staff isn't very customer friendly but Dr. Tonya is great! Example, I walk into the office and out of 5 staff standing at front counter, including the Dr. actually, no one spoke to me, asked me to sign in, said hello or anything. I waited and they all just kept doing what they were doing. I Thought Wow! Rude! and this is where I'm spending my money for this procedure.??? The cost wasn't bad since I got multiple areas @ $475 per area. I hope I have better results.

Day 35:
I know I disappeared for a little bit but, I had nothing new to say!!!
I did the half Marathon as I said, and it didn't bothered me at all.
The funny thing is: I'm on day 35 now ( Tuesday, December 11th ) I had a break from running, as I was sore.
Today, I went for a run, and I felt a discomfort around by belly button, very weird.
Also, last night I realized that my belly, is bigger than before the procedure.
I have lost all the weight that I gained from day 1 up to day 19 or 20, can't remember now exactly, and a few extra as well.
I would say it's not working at all, I know it's early to say that, but it's bigger now.
My belly still a little bit numb around the belly button.
I haven't take any picture of it. I will wait for the week 6 to take.
It's all I have to say now! Sad but true!

Day 22:
It was pretty much the same as yesterday.
Still can't see any change. Belly looks like the same as before the coolsculpting.
I'm 3 weeks now and not a single centimeter less.

If someone reading this, did the procedure and had results, please let me know when you started seeing results.

I started to see some results on lower belly but not upper belly the 4th week without exercising. I did experience numbness, itching and burning skin. But I believe it's the cells moving or detaching. I felt it more I lower belly and that's where I saw more results!!
