Cool Sculpt Did Not Get Rid of My Prednisone Bloat

I have tried a combination of diet, exercise, Cool Sculpt, those green coffee bean supplement pills that Dr. Oz has endorsed, and NOTHING has changed the shape of of my belly. I am sad, but do not fault Cool Sculpt process. It only claims to get rid of fat and not steroid-induced truncal obesity. Oh, well. I cannot afford liposuction, so I guess I'll just have to live with this belly I cannot get rid of.

Thirty days is much too early to expect progress. You should start seeing changes in about a month . Good luck!

I wish I took measurements before I did the procedure. I would have loved to see if this has any kind of reduction, even it isn't visible.

I found ice actually works much better than heat for any pain. Also a compression wrap works well.

My thoughts too! I bought a compression shortset ? (goes from under bust to above the knee) at the pharmacy downstairs, but I didn't feel very compressed. In hindsight, I probably should have bought a medium instead of a large. Waste of $90.

Thanks for noting that you can't move and let the machine fall off during the procedure. I'll be keeping this in mind!

My instinct was to curl up from the pain, so fight that urge!

I am experiencing really swollen belly and sharp pain just below my navel. I have no bruising (which I was expecting) and tinier/harder than normal bowel movements (which I was not). I bought a HoMedics heated percussion massager and using it every night before bedtime.

It is interesting to read what other people are going through. Thank you for having this forum to discuss and share. It probably reducing panic calls to the various offices, yelling, "Is this normal?!" lol
