I am a few weeks away from my first Coolsculpting...

I am a few weeks away from my first Coolsculpting appointment and I am very apprehensive. I am about to spend a great deal of money to get 6 areas treated and I am panicking that I made the wrong decision. Originally I wanted to get a tummy tuck, but the doctor I chose for a consultation no longer does them because he has a back injury and can't perform a surgery for that length of time anymore. He seemed confident I would be happy with the results of Coolsculpting but honest about the fact that I wouldn't have the tight, flat stomach I would get from lipo and a tummy tuck. I honestly never considered having lipo before because the procedure scared me, but he told me that for the results I wanted, if I chose not to go with Coolsculpting, aggressive lip WOULD be necessary. That made the decision very difficult for me. Eventually I opted to go with it. After putting down a $500 deposit, and finding this site and seeing more pictures and reviews, I'm scared I'll be wasting my money. I am glad for those of you who are happy with your results, and I do see a lot of you who are, but the chances seem high that any one of us won't see the results we want. I will go through with the procedure because I don't want to lose my $500. I really hope I'm wrong. Will add before photos when it gets closer to my appointment.

Loose skin or fat?
KELLSONJuly 14, 2014
Here are my pre-coolsculpting pictures. I'm still debating on whether to do it or not. Today I plan to call to see what my options are for a refund, but part of me still wants to try it. I just wish it was a sure thing! Coolsculpting or lipo? Or tummy tuck???

Dr. Loomis did my Lipo and mini tummy tuck three years ago. I just had cool sculpting done today with him, and am curious to see how it compares!!

CoolSculpting always works but you need to have the right expectations. If you work with it by diet and exercise you will gain the best results.

Decided against Coolsculpting

I went for a few more consultations and a tummy tuck seems to be what I'm looking for. Each PS I spoke with was so helpful. What a learning experience this has been!

I had cool sculpting , I'm not a stranger to cosmetic procedures. I tried this body wrap and got way more results. Funny, we can jump in to spend a lot if money at our plastic surgeons office but when it comes to a new product we shun away. I became a distributor after wrapping twice and seeing great results. I also cut a few small pieces and eliminated a filler flaw, I've had that for a year. Now it's gone. I love it, if you would like to pick my brain, cablanda @aol.com. I am grateful I jumped in a gave this a chance.

My sister had tummy tuck. She got a near perfect tummy as most fat was removed. There was a lot of pain and long recovery. But she has a long scar that goes from one end of the hip to another.
I don't like the scar. I have similar fat rolls on my upper stomach. I got 2 hours of cool scuplting on each side of the upper stomach. Very little pain. Doctor says wait for 2 months for results so I will wait. WIll update.

Thank you, I am eager to hear about your results! I have decided against tummy tuck because of the scar. I'm trying to lose as much weight as possible to see if I can "live" with the belly I end up with, or if I will reconsider Cool Sculpting. I just think the procedure needs time to "prove itself".
