After much consideration, I decided to try cool...
After much consideration, I decided to try cool sculpting today. I previously explored a tummy tuck and Lipo. Several friends have had both procedures and everyone has been happy with the results but they all spoke of extreme pain. In addition to it being quite costly. After doing my research I decided to go with cool sculpting.
Unfortunately, I kept reading all of the reviews on here and got anxiety abut my appointment today. I realize that everyone is different but my experience was really good. I didn't have any pain. It feels weird but no pain.
Once you go in they take photos and mark the area. They apply a gel pad to the area and the weird part is the vacuum of the machine sucking in and locking on to the fat. They turn on the cooling part and the machine does its job. I sat there for 60 minutes and there wasn't any pain only the weird feeling of my fat being in this machine. When the time was up they pull the machine off and my stomach looked like frozen lard. The area was massaged and still no pain it just felt weird. That's my best description. After that the second area was done and I was out of there.
I left took the subway home without feeling a thing. I have swelling and a little tingling but I am out and about. My worries of pain were for nothing but based on today I would recommend the procedure.
I will give weekly updates!

I haven't had any pain at all. My stomach is really swollen, more than I anticipated. I don't have any bruising either. So aside from the swelling, which is normal I am happy with everything so far. I am patient and understand it will take weeks before I see anything.
Day 4
It is day 4 and I am still really swollen and my stomach feels hard. I called the Dr.'s office today to make sure that was normal and she said it was and the swelling would go down soon. I haven't had any pain until this evening. It just feels like cramps but nothing major or anything that I can't deal with. I haven't taken any meds at all. I am not having any regrets about the procedure but I am definitely looking for the swelling to go down to at least fit in my clothes. I will update on day 7 with photos.
