Coolsculpting Experience After Researching - Mansfield, TX

It has now been two weeks since my Coolsculpting procedure. In the first 5 or 6 days following the procedure, not only were my stomach and flanks numb, but the pain could be best described as having felt like I did 1,000 sit ups. I never did feel the "pins and needles" feeling that other patients have described, just general soreness. My abdomen and flanks were also swollen that first week. I went to Walgreens and bought an ice pack meant for your back and used that for three days in the evenings. The swelling was gone by the end of the first week, as well as the soreness. I continued to exercise (jogging, eliptical and spinning classes) and just pushed through the soreness starting that first week. Now, at the two week mark, the swelling and soreness is completely gone, my jeans are slightly more loose, but there is still areas of numbness. I go in November 2nd for "before and after" pictures and will post them at that time. I realize it could be the end of November before I really start to visually see the results, but I noticed that my flanks especially seem smaller - hence the reason my jeans feel more loose. I maintain a healthy diet of protein and fruits and vegetables. I don't eat a lot of junk food or bread and I drink mostly water and iced tea.
