Hi - I am a 42 year old active female. I have struggled for the last 7 years after the birth of my last daughter to lose the troublesome areas. My current weight is 142 lbs and I fluctuate between a size 6 and 8. This I believe is my body's "normal" weight and size. I struggled in my youth with being overweight, topping out at 190 lbs and a size 16. Even when I was at my lowest , 134 lbs and a size 4, I still had the "mommy shelf" and my thighs have always touched. I am 5'9" tall. I decided after much research that I would try coolsculpting before going under the knife. So here is my story so far;
On 3/25/16 I went for my procedure. I did 3 applications with all the same size applicators, one on my lower abdomen, and then on my inner thighs. When the applicator was first applied, I was a tad uncomfortable but in no pain for the first minute, after that, it just went numb. I had absolutely zero pain. When the 60 minutes was up, I did the 2 minute massage. From what I read, this has been the worst part of the actual procedure so I was a bit nervous. Again, I was a tad uncomfortable, but it was not painful at all. I would definitely do it again!
Today is day 3, I am still swollen, even feel like I gained a couple of pounds but the only discomfort I have is when I lightly press on my abdomen. My thighs do not hurt in the slightest. Tomorrow I am back to the gym.
I will continue to post updates, and will post pictures at the end. Fingers crossed this work so I won't have to have a mini tummy tuck with liposuction!
