CoolSculpting - Florida
I remember being a child, and being self conscious...
I remember being a child, and being self conscious of my stomach. Diet and exercise do not work. The only way to loose this, would be to become under BMI. I have maintained the same weight (120-128 lbs) for the past 8 years. I am 5'5. I had CoolSculpting done the beginning of June 2012. I had my abs and flanks done (a total of 3 hours).
The abs section hurt really bad. I was in a lot of pain for the first 10 minutes. The sides were a breeze, although my stomach was still in a lot of pain. I took a pillow and the tech gave me snacks, so that helped me to not think about the pain.
I was freezing for about 12 hours after I left the doctor's office. I slept in sweatpants and a sweatshirt. When I woke up, my stomach looked like it had a big gash in it from the pants. I ended up wearing Spanx the following day to try and flatten that out. The pain is not so bad, but I have been taking aspirin every few hours. It does hurt to lean over or press on my tummy hard. The sides are only a little tender.
I'll keep you posted and add some pictures!
It has been one week since I had the procedure...
I am finally posting pictures. Note that these were taken within an hour of leaving the doctor's office, so I am swollen. I will try to take pictures again tonight. I feel like I am no longer swollen, but I am not sure why the pain is getting worse.

I think you had too many areas done at once. My doctor did one area and offers a discount for the second area. I had lower abs done and it really hurt and couldn't wear tight jeans for weeks. Also got the itchy rash. It took about 6 weeks before I noticed anything and now you can really tell a difference between upper and lower abs. Going tomorrow to get the upper abs done.
I should have mentioned that I did not have any pain on my flanks. All my pain was in my lower abs. I would do my lower abs again, but only with the medium sized, not the large. A huge problem with my pain was I was only allowed to take aspirin, which did very little. You cannot take anti-inflamatory medicine or it will take away from your results. Hope your procedure goes well!
