My procedure it was done Wednesday I watched all the videos before I went but I have to say when I first put it on it was very painful and I did cry once I got through the first 10 minutes it was fine but then when they took it off it was even more painful and that lasted for about 20 minutes I was supposed to have my top section done but the pain was so bad I didn't go through with the top part of my abs so as of right now I only have the lower abs done it's only been a couple days I'm going to see what the results are from this to determine if I will go through the pain again lol

Thank you it is fine now it was just the first 10 minutes and when they took it off for about 20-30 minutes. It is just tender now.

I had the same procedure, the doctor told me that I wouldn't have any pain, the procedure it self was very uncomfortable but I did tolerated, I went home thinking that was over and my surprise was in the middle of the nights I wake up with the most horrible pain it was unbelievable I took heavy pain killer it didn't work I call my Dr and he never got back to me I will never do it again

Sorry to here that I guess everyone's experience is different I had no pain really after just during. I hope your feeling better. How long has it been for you. I lost 7 lbs since due to changing my eating because I didn't want it to be a waste of money.

Yikes, I had 3 sessions and ZERO pain except the night after. 1-10 the pain level was about a 3. I highly recommend this to EVERYONE.

Yes even though it hurt I go Monday to have top abs done.
January 8, 2016
Weren't you a little frightened when they took the machine off? It looks scarey.
January 8, 2016
No lol it looks worse then it feels. The big one hurt but the small one this time didn't hurt. Are you thinking of having it done?
January 8, 2016
Yes, I see the price of $1600., was that for more then one area?
January 8, 2016
1600 was for the big applicator which was used on lower abs then the small applicator is 500 which was used on top. Are you in pa?
January 8, 2016
No, but thanks for the info, I'll probably go for a consult and then decide.
January 8, 2016
Was it worth it I go for my treatment on the 25th and I'm so anxious
January 8, 2016
Absolutely 100% at least for me it was a huge success. That's why I just had the top abs done. Everyone is different but long as you have loose skin you should be ok. Let me know how you make out :)
January 18, 2016
I sure will I have a couple more days to go I can't wait I'll be doing before an after pics as well

How is it going? I just had my procedure today and am reading all the horror stories of pain that is yet to come in the next two weeks. Scared...
October 22, 2015
I am doing fine like I said just little numb feeling and once in awhile a little cramping not bad at all. Don't be scared if you made it through procedure you will do fine. How was the pain for you and how many areas did you do? Good luck to you.

Why do I read about the pain endurance?
January 9, 2016
Not ready for thr pain!
January 9, 2016
The big applicator is the one that hurt first 10 min then just 20 for thawing out process.
January 9, 2016
The thawing out just feels like menstrual cramps. You can do it.
