So I'm going to update this every day with...
WORTH IT$1,200
So I'm going to update this every day with progress notes. The procedure itself is no big deal, I had 2 large areas done, 60 Minutes each, so my butt was hurting more than anything else. They gave not more but a sheet of paper about after-care, things to expect. Of course, there is no mention of people have tremendous pain people have been reporting on this site 4 days after the procedure. (https://www.realself.com/forum/discuss-the-pain).
So as a precaution I got my doctor to prescribe Gabapentin 300mg and Lidocaine Patches (love my GP).
I also ordered Bromelain for bruising and Young Living Pan Away Essential Oil that apparently some folks got relief from.
On a side-note, I had 3 failed back surgeries and was on very high doses of Opiates for a very long time and I finally decided last year enough and stopped cold turkey. It was as pleasant as one can imagine -NOT, but I made it and there is no way I ever go back in Opiates unless absolutely necessary. The reason I bring this up is I was a nice 190 pounds, going to the gym and was pretty buff before the work accident in 2008. Now I have ballooned to over 255 pounds and I'm disgusted to even look in the mirror

Update day 2 CoolsSulpting
No bruising, maybe a little tender but not even worth mentioning at this point. I did sleep all night with Ice packs, which is nothing new I sleep with then every night on by lower back where I had the fusion surgery.

Update day 3 CoolsSulpting
So far so good. no pain, no swelling (maybe due to the Ice Packs), it's like nothing happened. I'm not celebrating quite yet since most people started reporting nerve pain on the 4th day. So I'm keeping my fingers and toes crossed.

Nerve pain, seriously? No. It felt like I had gone to the gym, nothing more. It has been two months and I have actually been able to wear a belt for the first time in 20 years. So happy I had it done.
