When they sucked my fat into the machine the pain was intolerable.
For the one hour that they kept my fat in the machine the pain was intolerable.
Its been one week today, and the pain is intolerable.
I had my lower abs done for $1,400.00.
I do not weigh less, and it looks like i swallowed rocks. The pain is so bad nothing helps.
Its like when you split a tooth in half and the nerve is hanging out. THATS the pain.

Hi everyone,
okay its day 9. I am still in pain, but; it is subsiding slowly.
If I sit up straight, I can drive.
My reviews are meant to help folks realize what this entails.
I see it worked for some.
I am 5.1 and weigh 142. My midsection was impossible to improve at the gym.
I had my lower ab done for $1,400.00.
I was told it would tighten and improve my lower ab. I dont see any improvement.
My issue is the painful procedure, during and after. It was horrible.
I do not recommend this treatment. The price is high,and the pain is bad. Perhaps in the future they will solve the pain during the procedure, and after. I found it all barberic.

You need Lyrica or Neurotin through your primary care physician. I think you're in a small minority of CoolSculpt patients. I would bet my life savings you likely weren't an "ideal" recipient. I wonder if your coolsuilpt Physician or technician asked you the questions related to race, recent weight loss, skin elasticity, pain tolerance regarding past medical history, diet and exercise habits, expectations... I would definitely contact Zeltiq directl

yeah. I will just heal and get over it. However; I really really dont recommend this.
And, from what I have read here, I am in the minority.

I am wonderng why the doc didnt prescribe neurotin?
The assistant said I am the only one they have ever had
call and ask for help with the pain.
I am starting to think, I am the only person who had an aweful experiance.

I left with script in hand. I did fill it just in case but ever needed it though.

In my 11 treatments, I've never had a Dr do this, always a tech. Heck, I've been their guinea pig for training several times for little to no cost!
May 10, 2013
They do & are very good at contacting me for training of new gals, with huge discounts in several different treatments!

Coolsculpting was a complete waste of money.
I joined a gym for ten bucks a month. I am eating 1200 calories a day.
Stationary bike,and light weight training.
I am still ashamed at how stupid I was to have Coolsculpting.
That money would have been better spent on a gym,and maybe weight watchers.

Yep--if you are overweight & haven't tried the gym, eating healthy, etc before you try CS, you will be GREATLY disappointed! This is NOT for weight loss. It's for AFTER you've tried to get as fit as possible but still have those stubborn pockets of fat that won't go away no matter how much you eat healthy & exercise.

MY POSTS ARE MEANT TO WARN PEOPLE OF THE PAIN, THE HIGH COST,THE TIME OUT OF WORK. AND THE ABSOLUTELY ZERO RESULTS. NO ONE HERE IS SAYING THEY SUBSTITUTED THIS FOR WORKING OUT AND DIETING.
And, we aren't getting it free like you. We don't work at these places. We are consumers. We are trying to help each other as in; BUYER BEWARE!
September 9, 2013
I have spent thousands on this & am VERY happy with the results without ANY pain or time out of work.. I actually went to the gym an hour after my 1st procedure & did weight machines for 1 1/2 hours. Not everyone is going to feel it's a waste of time & $$$. No reason to YELL at me, either!
September 9, 2013
You stated you get these procedures free. What has changed with that?
NO ONE should get these. Even if you don't need this procedure, go buy new clothes you will get more satisfaction.

I had smart lipo on my tummy and I was in bed for a week. Could bearly walk and sitting was horrible after an hour... no way I could drive. It cost $5,000 and I had to be put under for it. The hospital charged more on top of the surgery fee. It got results but I would never do that again. Now I am into my 5th Cool Sculpting session and any pain I have feels like a bruise. The price is a fraction of smart lipo!

I tried cool sculpting and it didn't do anything for me. I then got smart Lipo and it looked so good butt hurt so bad for months. I had to stop working out for moths. I got normal Lipo later for some love handles and it only hurt for two weeks.
