Disappointment

Okay, so it has been some weeks since I posted. I am sorry I haven't updated but I wanted to wait until I had good news to share. Well, I have waited the full length of time that they said to see my results. So what were the results? Well, honestly it is nothing to really get excited over. In fact, the progress I saw at 7 weeks is pretty much all I got. Which as I said I wasn't excited then and I sure am not now. I even had the gym I go to calculate out my body mass prior to the procedure and then again today which has been almost 4 months since the procedure. Unfortunately, there was little change which is about what I thought as I looked in the mirror.

So basically, I still have the same troubled areas. Maybe slightly smaller but not noticeable. Of course, they say I should do it all again and I would see more results the second time through... but at 2k I just can't justify it in my head given the results from round 1. I mean had I seen something significant or if there was some type of guarantee maybe. However, to put another 2k into something with the real possibility of the same results just isn't something I am interested in taking the chance on.

I am happy for those that saw results from their procedures, however, in my opinion it was a waste of money.

Thanks for posting your most recent results (or lack of). I'm 9 weeks out and my lower abdomen is actually bigger than when I started- it's more mushy too! There hasn't been any change in my diet or exercise, so I'm not quite sure what's going on. I feel your pain! I just can't justify spending more money either!

I noticed that when I run now my stomach still feels "weird". It is like it is still partially frozen or something, hard to explain. Anyway, I hope your final weeks give you some results. Good Luck!

Well I am about 7 weeks in. I actually put the jeans back on that I had in the photo. They do actually fit better and I seem to have less "over hang". So the results seem to be coming... just slow. So I am not 100% excited about my results yet but at least there is progress! I will update in a few weeks.

I am just over a month now. Unfortunately, I do not see any difference yet. I have not had any pain like other, however, I also don't see a difference. So we will see what happens with my second month under way. I did weigh myself again today and I am still 169 lbs so there has not been any weight loss as a result. I still have some minor numbness in my stomach area. Hopefully results are soon?!? I hope this wasn't a waste of $1800.

Dare2Dream, there isn't weight loss with this procedure unless you are actively dieting; Coolsculpting doesn't result in weight loss. (I have wondered how that can be, given that the fat must weigh something!). I had upper and lower abs done - small device, 2 each for upper and lower - on Feb 1 and didn't see results for over 4 weeks. Then I noticed that my favorite jeans were getting big. At 6 weeks, friends started noticing a difference. Hang in; it takes a while. I'm now at 2 months and my belly is definitely smaller. Good luck!

I have been working out as well and thought that I would see weight loss like you said... fat must weigh something. However, that is not the case. But I am happy to say after going on 7 weeks I am starting to see some results. I actually didn't even really notice until I put the jeans back on that I had on in this picture. I hope this is a start to good results! Good luck to you as well, keep me updated on your results.
