All the reducing should be done by now, so here is my updated measurements:
Before:
Hips (widest part): 36 inches
Waist (smallest part): 30 inches
Waist at belly button: 34 inches
Thighs (at widest part): 22 inches

After:
Hips (widest part): 36 inches
Waist (smallest part): 30 inches
Waist at belly button: 33 inches
Thighs (at widest part): 22 inches

As you can see, not much difference. I am the same weight. Clothes don't really feel looser. I don't feel like I look any better, either. It's weird because I really felt the best about 6 weeks after the procedure, then I got bigger again. Overall, a waste of $4200. And my skin seems looser and still a bit numb in spots from the procedure. I would say save your money and take a few weeks to diet and exercise, you would see better results! I'll post pictures later.

I totally agree! Waste of money, lots of time and money and my skin is permanently looser and dimpled now

Its been about 30 days for my lower abs, 3 weeks for the upper abs, and less for the flanks and inner thighs.
I do feel that there has been a difference, I feel flattered on my stomach. Of course not as much as I would like! But I'm still hoping in the next 30 to 60 days it will go down even more.
I should add my weight hasn't changed at all. I'm not trying to lose weight or do anything differently because any differences I want to be strictly from the CoolSculpting.
No pain or any uncomfortableness at this point. I would say the inner thighs were the easiest, don't even pay much attention to it. Although all the areas are still numb. I can feel a little bit of sensation on my stomach. I really thought that would at least be back to normal by now. But I guess that takes a few months.
I was reminding myself this morning that I can't expect to have a perfectly flat stomach after having kids without doing some sort of sit ups :-) that will be phase too!

Thank you for posting your cool sculpting journey. Considering doing it myself but would like to hear how your progress goes. Is it to soon to take measurements or do you have to wait 3-6 months due to swelling?
