You look great! I want to see if my doctor will give me the before/after shots she takes at the office so I can post those. I took a pic of my belly the first day after the procedure and it was bruised and I looked pregnant. Maybe I'll post that one once I see my full results :-P
June 23, 2012
Thank u! That's a good idea, you should post those if you can get em. I looked pregnant after the procedure as well. and my skin was so red! I really hope I get more results soon. I have no patience sometimes. 2 months is too far! lol
June 23, 2012
LOL! I know me too. For the money we've spent on it I want to see fast results too. My coworkers tease me that I won't see the full results until the end of the summer. Then again, I live in FL so that's not really relevant :-P
June 25, 2012
lol! thats the good thing about living in a hot climate :) I'm hoping by mid-July i will see more results cuz I'm going on vacation at that time! If the 2 months are up and I don't see a significant difference, i may get a second treatment. and that's only if i can find a special deal or Groupon somewhere! I cant shell out those bucks anymore haha
June 25, 2012
I hear ya girl. It was either get this treatment or go away this summer :-P
June 27, 2012
aw. at least u live in a place w great weather! dont have to go too far. :) so far ive gotten a little flatter on my abs i think! i need to get someone to take more pics of me! tired of the "facebook poses" lol. i really hope more comes off. I do not wanna go the tummy tuck route!!
June 27, 2012
We went away a lot last summer so we decided to take it easy this year. "Facebook poses" lol. I have my 4 week follow up appointment today with my doctor so hopefully they'll say "Oh wow! And it's going to get even flatter!". It still is a little bit numb in the lower region and it pooches when I sit mores than I care to admit so hopefully they'll tell me that will go away with time. I'm sure you will see more results too. I don't even think you're a candidate for a tummy tuck!
June 30, 2012
thats good u went out a lot last summer :) Did it start pooching b4 the procedure or after?
it seems like it's going soo slow its driving me nuts. lol! ill give it a few more weeks until i take some more pics. Did they tell u anything good at the office? and thanks so much for the tummy tuck comment. :) I will definitely get another round of Coolsculpting if I don't get my desired results, and hopefully I can say R.I.P. to my pooch once and for all, haha :)
July 1, 2012
I had a small pooch before the procedure but afterward it was ridiculous. I feel it gets smaller every day little by little. The appointment went well. It took longer to get there than my actual appointment. They measured me and said I lost 1/4 of an inch off my upper abdomen. My lower abdomen is where I’m seeing the most results. My next appointment is July 27th and that is when they will take pictures and weigh me and I will post those. I don't do the self portrait thing too well either. The ironic part is the flatter my belly looks, the wider my hips look. Guess I'll just turn to the side a lot. LOL!
July 5, 2012
sounds like you have good results so far,did they measure your lower ab loss as well? July 27th will b almost 2 mos. for us! Yay! hope we lose more by then.
LOL! i feel you. hey at least we have the hourglass shape thing going :)
July 5, 2012
She measured my lower abs but she didn't say anything about it being smaller. I do see a difference though. It's also nice to know it's still a work in progress. How are you doing?
July 7, 2012
hmm. yeah as long as you see a difference, that's what matters. Yes I'm really looking fwd to the 2 month mark! I seem to have lost a little more of my pooch. yay.. I've been dieting and working out so hard, but that pooch has never moved, so I know it has to have been the work of coolsculpting!! It's hard to show the results in pics tho..so I'll have to wait til it's more drastic. I still cant get over we were having all that discomfort and now we are fine! I'll never take for granted again the fact that I can run without feeling that numb pooch jiggling. lol! are you completely better? I would imagine having both areas would bring more pain! I don't think I couldve dealt with 2 at once. u go girl! lol
July 7, 2012
LOL! Thanks :-) Yeah I tend to never do anything gradually. My doctor had a get 3 areas for the price of 2 going on as well so I saved some money. I took pics a few hours after my procedure and finally got around to looking at them yesterday and I could not believe how swollen and bruised I was. My pooch wouldn't move either that's why I got this as well. It feels great to be able to work out again with no restrictions. I went to the beach yesterday.It was the first time since I got this done (I know, I live in FL and I never go to the beach :-P) and I felt so much more confident. I wore a dress the day before that which was snug in the midsection and did not feel self conscious. I feel it's the best money I've ever spent and that there's more to go is even better. Those reading my posts must think I'm a different person
July 11, 2012
yeah, it's amazing to look at our before pics, isn't it? LOL @ not going to the beach, i know what u mean, i lived in California for 5 years and never went once I dont think. but that's awesome that you felt so confident! I have been feeling like I can wear more styles that i'd normally stay away from. it's a great feeling! I'm glad you changed your mind now that you've seen more results. i was starting to get worried..lol..i wasnt too happy either at first. Oh and i just saw that a girl posted on this board and she only paid $750 for the lower abs in an office that I almost went to near me. hopefully i wont need a 2cd-but if i do im so going there!
July 11, 2012
$750! WOW! I'm embarassed I paid so much now but around me $1,500 per section was the ballpark and I even got a 3 for the price of 2 deal :-P
July 18, 2012
I know right!! I paid 1200 and that was w a coupon. but u got a great deal though.as soon as my time of the month is over (what fun! lol) i will post another pic.
July 18, 2012
Lol! Yeah me too. Mines on its way as well. My belly is so flat now it's going to be difficult to tell people I didn't have anything done. The only people that know are my best friend and my boyfreind. I told some people at work because I didn't want any pregnancy rumors going around because I was practically waddling afterwards and everyone at my job has baby fever. The thing is so few people know about CoolSculpting at least near where I live so they think a tummy tuck is the only way to go. Even though I was a big baby during my post procedure recovery phase I would take CoolScultping over surgery any day.

Day 13: Been feeling pretty good! Just itchy and annoying feelings but nothing bad at all. I can't wait to see results! I feel like I can see some results already. I have been dieting and exercising like always. If I do end up seeing results, I know it will b from this procedure, since I've never seen changes in this area in years of strict diets and exercises.

Day 9:
using the McDavid waist trimmer pulled tight on my stomach and it feels great. Really didnt have any pain except when I was sleeping. I tried to sleep with ice on my belly and also with my knees facing the ceiling, that way i wasnt stretching my stomach and hurting it. But feeling much better, thank God!
