I have been reading others' updates and wanted to share that after initially great results, 6 months and now 9 months later my belly roll is right back to where it was pre Coolsculpting.

When I was in for my 3 month follow and was so excited at the 3" loss, I asked if they could treat my lower abs the same day, which they did. While I was having the treatment, the nurse practitioner told me the Zeltique rep initially referred to the treatment as 'one and done' then months later told them it often had to be repeated...

Incidentally, I still maintain a very active lifestyle, eat healthy, lift weights, play racquetball often, and have not gained weight...yet that roll came back and the lower abs never left. Pooh!

I felt these practitioners were very professional, very pleasant to be around, and encouraged me to get back in touch with them if I have any questions or concerns. They are the only provider of this service near me, but I was lucky to find a good group.

Thank you for the latest update..you answered my questions totally. I had read and heard that its permanent, however, I wasn't sure if that was going to be true...and of course some sites say you have to keep going back and keep going back, others say one time is all that is needed.

I finally have a couple pictures to post. Compared to most people I see who have this done, I am quite a fattie, but particularly wanted to post to encourage those of us menopausal women who suddenly pack tons of fat onto the middle to consider this procedure. I lost about 3" as of my 8 week follow up, and the practitioners said that is amazing and I should probably lose 2 or so more over the next 2-4 months. I did get my lower abs done the same day as the follow up for upper abs.

Despite the discomfort I had with the first coolsculpting session, when I started seeing results, I figured I could deal with a couple of weeks of discomfort/pain, but I have to say that the lower abs have not been a problem except some bruising and mild soreness and this is day 8.

I don't want people to think I'm a lazy fat ass...I was in great shape was far as body shape until my hormones changed. I play competition level racquetball 4x a week and lift weights, and if anything undereat and still got here. Being old and fat sure is an advantage when playing racquetball since I am underestimated :)

Hi all, i was wondering about how much does the procedure cost for about three sessions. just need my upper ab area done, that is where the thickest fat is and i'm petite. I'll appreciate your feedback. Thank you.

Hi sc!
My upper abs and the love handles on either side used the large applicator in the front and the smaller one on each side. My practice offered a special for all three at once for $2000 after applying a 20% discount they had on their website. The large applicator with no discount or package would be $1300 normally and each smaller applicator would be $750, so I got $800 off total.

I'm just glad it works on us 'nonpetite' types.

You might want to sign up for groupons and livingsocial deals and see if any practices near you offer a special.

Good luck!

I had my 2 month follow up today and I could not be happier. I knew I was seeing changes but to actually have new pictures taken and have measurements done really showed me it is not my imagination. I have lost almost 3" in my upper ab/love handle area since I had it done and should continue to see more changes. The doctor's office is going to email me the before plus the first after pics they took today, but I was stunned when I saw them. Sure I am still a fattie, but I had never gained in my tummy until I hit 50, so this is huge.

I went ahead and had lower abs done today, and am prepared for the discomfort I might have from the first experience. I can deal with 10 days of owies....

Pics coming, and hopefully they will encourage more like me who thought only skinny people with a little extra bump could benefit from this.
