I had the cool sculpting procedure on Last Friday...

I had the cool sculpting procedure on Last Friday so I'm on Day 7. It wasn't bad at all. I was worried after all the reading I did. The suction felt weird but not painful. The massage was not pleasant but nothing I couldn't handle. The numb feeling has been weird but I have not had any real pain. Occasional shocks or jolts I would call them but they are not painful. Just weird. I am a normal weight, I'm between a size 6 and 8. I like my body but my mummy tummy has bothered me and I work out and eat well but it just doesn't go anywhere. I had my lower abdominals done, she did one of each side with the smaller suction cup. I may have another session if this works well and I still want more. I'm not expecting miracles. I was pregnant 4 times in 7 years! But I am hoping for just a little more flatness so that I don't look 3 months pregnant in clothing anymore lol I will continue to update. This site has been super helpful to me :)

That's great, glad we could be here for you! 

Wow, I can relate to the mummy tummy for sure! I can't wait to see your results in a few weeks - can you post some pics when you can?

Are you still numb in your treated area or has that worn off?

I am still numb! It's such a weird feeling! Actually had a bit more discomfort yesterday (day 8). I hesitate to call it pain. It was manageable and I haven't needed any pain killers. I will keep updating with pictures.

I'm day 7 and have the numb and weird feeling.
I was freaking out until I saw your progress posts.
thanks for sharing.

The numbness can last a while! Mine is still very slightly numb at over 3 weeks and my doctor told me not too worry even if it lasts 5 or 6. It happens.

Since the procedure, I have a thirst and nothing works, also a little nausea. They told me that I'll feel sore for 3 days and then back to normal. I was so glad to see your detail posting.
I did the upper abs so my bra kept touching the tender area. I'm at work and just pulled my bra off.

ouch I bet that hurts!! I felt a little crappy for the first 10 days or so! You body was given a shock and everyone reacts differently to that. I bet you will be back to normal in a few days <3

Hi sunmamma. I think you look great! Congrats on keeping to the healthier diet, etc as well. May I ask the name of the clinic you went to? I am from Toronto also and would like to check it out as I am considering cool sculpting. I am a 45-yr old mom of two who tries to stay in shape but work, busy lifestyle, etc... Many thanks!

Day 9 still numb, swelling down I think

sunmamma
So today is day 9. Yesterday was the most uncomfortable day I've had. Again not painful but not pleasant either lol. The numb feeling is very weird and I hope it goes away soon! I think the swelling is down so I would say I am back to wear I was when I started. Really looking forward to seeing a change!

Hey! I found you. Yeah around day 10 it started to get the painful pulley sensation and behind my belly button was especially bad. Even now it feels like I pierced it. Still not bad. Tylenol works. How are you toda?
May 16, 2016
Hey!! I'm good!! Feels like the numbness is almost gone. I just got home from the gym. Did a light workout. I feel like I'm over the worst of it now and if that's the case I would say the whole experience has been not too bad at all. If I get good results I will likely do a second session. Need to give it two months so I guess in July I will decide. I am really trying to watching my eating. I feel like this has given me a new motivation. Watching a paleo documentary today lol How are you today?
May 16, 2016
My numbness is gone. But I'm still tender to getting bumped into. I've lost 4 lbs in 2 weeks. I've really kicked up the nutritional part. Now I need to get my workout butt in gear. My goal is to get a belly I'm happy with from the procedure then keep it through diet. I can't afford another session ☹️
May 16, 2016
I can't really afford another session either so I am really hoping one is enough!

Cheers to dead fat cells! I wish I had the strength to only take pics every so often. I'm a picture [RS bleep]. I can't wait to see updates. As far as pain, I'm not numb but my belly button hurts.
May 23, 2016
