Hi. It's now 2 weeks and I feel better. Still tingles and some bee stings but not as bad as before. Still a bit swollen and I don't expect results right now. Happy to be recovering.

Today is the first day I'm feeling a bit better and can function. I've only needed one ice pack and the bee stings are much less. While i am still swollen and see no noticeable visual improvement , I am delighted that things are getting better. Thank you to all who responded with kind suggestions.

Still in pain. Nights are horrid. Neurontin doesn't help. I get up every two hours at night to change my ice. Can t find anything to wear. When something runs on my stomach I see stars. I'm praying that this goes away soon. Have spent my memorial weekend at home. Feel bad that my kids have had to suffer too.

Please go see a Dr & stop applying ice. You NEVER ice more than 20 minutes at a time. You can cause serious damage (frostbite) to your skin.

It's fine. Do not apply ice directly to skin, but as long as you have a barrier between the ice and your skin it will be fine. I did it for four days with no problem.

I am very unhappy with this procedure. I am in a lot of pain as well and my stomach is still numb. I completely understand this ruining your memorial weekend. I had it done on Wednesday, and I look pregnant. I hope your pain goes away. All I want is my old stomach back. That body could wear a bikini. Feel better soon!

How long ago did you have this done? You didn't expect to be swollen or numb after being frozen?
May 28, 2013
Thank you. Went out today and carried ice packs with me. Still in so much pain that I feel I can't function or focus. I am now going to take Motrin PM and the nerve Blocker to try to get some sleep. Continuing to pray this goes away. Good luck to you as well.

I had this done about 10 days ago And did not expect to be in such excruciating pain for so long.
May 28, 2013
If it helps, I felt the same way. I felt all I could think about was the pain, but it DID go away. You should be on the tail end of the pain now. Keep up with the ice and the motrin and hopefully you'll feel much better in a couple of days. From the other reviews I've read, and my own experience, it takes a good two weeks. Hope you feel better soon.

Thank you. Still in pain. Praying my life will get back to normal soon. I don't even care about results anymore, just want to be pain free.
May 30, 2013
Im so glad you are feeling better Momofthreekids:) And same as you, if I could go back I would not have procedure done either.
Of course I did, but I did not expect to look pregnant. No one told me that. I still look pregnant, swollen and Im still numb. It has been 9 days. The shooting pains are gone, so Im very thankful for that.

I had this done two weeks ago today and I have to say I am floored that you have been through so much. I had no bruising and very little pain about day 5 on day 10 I had some itching that went away yesterday. The swelling lasted about 5 days and was helped tons by running arnica gel on it. I know that everyone is different but you may want to give the arnica a try since it doesn't sound like much else is working for you. I bought mine at whole foods and it came with some arnica dissolving tablets that I used as well.
May 28, 2013
I had absolutely no idea that I would be in this much pain for this long. If I could turn back time, I would not do it but I guess everyone's results are different. I will try Arnica, thanks for the recommendation.
