6 Days after second Cool Sculpting
$5,016
I had my second session of CS on Sat. February 4th on my lower abdomen. Six days later I am back to having those nasty stabbing pains. I had a rough time sleeping last night because of it. I didn't have this much pain in my lower abdomen the first time I did it. This morning I told myself never again. I'm done with Cool Sculpting. In about 10 days I have a session of Venus Freeze and then one more there after. After those 2 VF sessions I'll be visiting Skinney Med Spa in April for an overall review to see how I've made out. I guess that's when I'll be letting everyone know if this was all worth it or not. I'm starting to feel very negatively again but I think it's because of the pain I'm in.

Almost 6 weeks post
It's been a while since I've last posted. I've been struggling with my opinion as to whether CS is worth it or not.
I finally got through all the nerve pain and I got a Venus Freeze treatment 4 weeks later. I believe the Venus Freeze helped with breaking down the fat.
I didn't lose a lot of weight (only 2 lbs) because I have not dieted or worked out but I will admit that I can see the inches that have shed on my lower and upper abs. When I pinch the skin where I had treatment, I am not pinching as much fat as before. It's a difference. If I grab my love handles on the sides I can definitely grab a nice handful. The skin on my abs is wrinkly and flappy because of the fat that's gone underneath.
Right now I'm getting my second treatment on my lower abdomen. It's still painful the second time around. I will share results as time goes on.
I am now considering getting my love handles and back/bra fat does as well.

Pain has subsided but now swollen:-(
The worst pain was over the New Year Weekend but it has finally gone down. There are areas on my abdomen where the skin still feels numb. My only problem is now is I'm swollen. Yesterday I got back to work after vacation and I had the hardest time buttoning my pants. I'm in law enforcement and wear a duty rig and my uniform pants are tighter around my waist. The belt was also uncomfortable but I just dealt with it. My uniform was fine before Cool Sculpting and now I feel like I need new pants. :-( I'm hoping the swelling goes away soon.

Was it worth it? Do you see a difference and how much was it for the treatments.

Are you able to afford manual lymph drainage? It will help with the pain and reduce the swelling so you can work a little more comfortably. Just be sure to go every other day for about 5 treatments to get the best results. (Don't forget to contact your PS to make sure it's okay as well! Every doctor has their own treatment method.)

Whoever did this to you, took your money. There is no way you are going to get the results you need with coolsculpting. I don't want to sound so negative but I am tired of people like us getting taken in again and again, while we hope that this time, it will work. Your are a candidate for a tummy tuck to remove all that access skin. These coolsculpting and cellfina and all that are for people with just the slightest pouch to their stomach or only a little bit of cellulite. I have been taken advantage of too and I'm sorry to see that women are just like me full of hope and these gangstars that are just looking us in the eyes and knowing that their product cannot help certain people. I'm tired of it. So sorry you're going through this pain because you are not going to see the type results you need or want to see.

To the comment below. I have wondered the same thing. My stomach is very simular. I have an app on monday but i am considering just getting my back fat and love handles done. I haven't seen much success with anyone my size. Only people with small pooches. So i was really hoping you had at least a 20% reduction in size!
