Coolsculpting Experience- Abdominal Upper and Lower Half 1 of 2 Sessions - King of Prussia, PA

I want the most optimal results I can obtain so will have the procedure done twice on the upper and lower abdomen. The procedure wasn't as bad as I thought- the cold protective sheet tickled and the vacuum suction application felt like a super vacuum and uncomfortable for only a few minutes. My biggest discomfort during the actual procedure was the removal of the cool sculpting machine- It looks crazy and I shouldn't have looked as I wanted to faint but other than that- I watched old DVDs of Friends- of which made me laugh and did cause a little discomfort but no major pain at all. Left office went to mall, little sore but I think my slow movement was more from the compression garment then anything else. I was unusually tired that evening, took a shower, felt numb, but no pain, have taken no pain meds at all. Slept a little uncomfortable due to back pain which may or may not be related. Next morning went for 2 mile walk, still feeling ok just numb. I keep the compression garment on all day but I can tell Im swollen, I like immediate results so I am nervous about not seeing results but with this process it clearly says its a progressive change so I have to wait it out. I will post pictures after I have something to compare to.

Day 4, went into office today so couldn't wear compression garment, wore a spank, didn't help as much, took some advil but not sure if it helped, pain was bearable but annoying. I am on a six hour flight in a few days I sure hope this goes away but the biggest issue is I've told no one (besides all of u :-)) I've done this so I am hiding my pain from my hubby, ugh!

Day 5, was the worse day. I've tried all day to obtain some relief. I would compare the pain to how I felt after having a c-section. I tried the ice therapy. Didn't work for me. Took Advil, that didn't work. It's just like everyone says, pain around belly bottom but I also feel like I have pain where my c-section cut is which is 7 years old. I just made some tea and took some old pain meds I had after surgery last year. I feel ok enough to not be in tears right now. The only thing I have additionally going on that I haven't read about yet is very dry skin on my belly where the machine was placed. Well I'm hoping this is the worse of it and I will be back to feeling normal very soon. I do feel like some of the swollen went down, but won't know till I try and put on some non elastic waist pants :-) trying to remain upbeat. Will up date tomorrow
