Day 14 after treatment.... Feeling back to normal everyday! I don't really notice any change from last weeks pix but I will post anyway. I still have a little bit of numbness on my upper abdominal area and flanks, other than that, The numbness is pretty much gone, and Thank Goodness No more itchiness (that was beginning to get irritating) I am definately having to pee more frequent! I don't feel like I've increased my water intake much more than I regularly drink, but I sure am taking a lot more trips to the restroom! One thing that seems weird to me and I don't recall reading about in anyone's after-treatment update, Is the fact that my belly feels extra flabby and soft! I wonder if that's normal?

I am a couple days behind you. I still have a little numbness but for the most part swelling is down. I do notice if I workout some of the swelling comes back. The other thing I noticed is if I massage the areas that were down, I get a weird tingling.

Hi- thanks for your input. I haven't actually noticed any more swelling during or after work outs, although, I do feel the same tingly sensation when I rub in lotion or massage any of the treated areas. Hmm, wonder if thats normal?

Thanks for the comment back. I hope it means that the fat cells are dying and are going away.

You are like my body twin! So I’d love to know how it turned out months later and if you still think it was worth it.

A. I can’t believe you are 45. Not that that is old, but you look more like in your early 30’s.
B. You look great, Coolsculpting obviously worked well for you.

Well I made it to Day 7. My entire midsection is still numb but absolutely no pain or sensitivity. The itchiness has subsided some-what? Still itches but not as frequent. I took my one Week pictures (which I have posted) I'm not sure if I see much of a change? It maybe looks a little more smooth? But my belly feels more soft and jiggly than before? I'm hoping it's the dead fat cells trying to find a way out?!? Haha- I also took my measurements b4 and at 1 Week and I have actually gotten bigger! ??? I think I'm still a little bit swollen? *I sure hope that's the case* I will continue to take After pics and measurements...Waiting for the 3 month mark is going to drive me Nuts!!!

You look smother and smaller but it is hard to tell since photos can be misleading and the smoothness can be from swelling ? My fingers are crossed for you and I look forward to a positive outcome so it encourages me to take a step forward. As of now I'm still skeptical. (It's just my nature) By the way how much was your procedure and how many areas ?

Thank You- So personally I think it was a little pricey, but I haven't had any type of cosmetic surgery, so I'm justifying it that way. Lol- actually bought 8 sessions for $4500. I think it breaks down around $560 an area. I did upper/ lower abs and flanks- upper and lower was done in two cycles becuz the suction cup wasn't big enuf to do entire area in one pop, so she split each area in half. Flanks took one hit. So I used 6 of my 8 sessions, I'm gonna wait the 3 months to see if I want to hit same area twice or try new area?? Hope that helped? Good luck with your decision!!!!

I agree it you look smaller already. Please keep us posted. I tried going for lipo but was told I didn't have enough fat to lipo. But there definitely is fat cuz I've got rolls and muffin top so I'm thinking of getting coolsculpting but wanna see if results are worth it
