Very fit. I same weight as high school. Always have had small gut and love handles no matter diet or exercise. Thought procedure would work. Waiting and worried. Review after review seems to say no results not worth it. If so why is no one screaming to FDA? Hopefully it does work and it will for me. Now I'm getting cramps and numbness is still present. I see no results yet but my pants are lose and I have less bloating in my stomach. How much water did everyone drink?
My clinic said at least 8 16 oz bottles a day. They said this helps flush dead fat cells. I'll check back in few weeks.

I had it done twice on lower and once on flanks and upper with NO results. 10 months later I am still having random "bee sting" like feelings in my abdomen. Good luck

What they tell you about not working?
September 10, 2014
??? Why didn't work? Did you drink water? Apparently you need to drink a lot.

You can view my before pictures on my profile. I will be going back and talking to the Dr about a full refund. I will try to get an after picture today or tomorrow.

I'll post some soon. Two weeks in and still some numbness. Which is great since I do a lot of core work at gym. Clothes fill lose but still look same to me. I'm hoping to be 20 % person

Pear belly 53 still numb

RSMember2589
So I'm still numb in my tummy and sides. Very similar to incision area. I've had two hernia surgeries and feels like those areas. I'm starting to see so many negative reviews that I think this was a rate of money. Is there anyone who can assure me that birdies work. After pictures make me look swollen. Thoughts.

Cool sculpting takes 2 months to see results even 3. It definitely is swelling. Make sure you drink more than 10 glasses of water a day to flush it out and also pineapple juice works for swelling. The top looks like definition coming in,just be patient and hang in there.
September 11, 2014
10? How did you get that much water in? I work out every other day. But on non work out days? Geez. I'm confused. Did it work or not work?

Bella ok so let me tell u about the process. First look at my picture before the light one. 8 24. I'm 6 3 and care my weight such that I've been called pair belly. I was teased terribly in high school And never wanted to be in skins team. I look like a piece of pasta that swallowed a metal washer. I would never do lip

So sorry procedure scared me. II had stomach and love handles done. One side and one side stomach 1 hr and then the others 2 hr. Got hot and nauseous then. No big deal with pain. It's the waiting that sucks. And reading all the disappointed people. I'm hopeful it world for me. When in oct u going? I'm going round 2 oct 13. They told me I'll get 20% reduction each time so I can wine up with about 40 percent less. If that happens wow! I'll take pictures next time during procedure.
September 12, 2014
U sound so sure will work. How do u know when so many say it didn't.
September 12, 2014

I trust my ps that's why! I am positive&never had any problems,again this is just me! if you're so doubtful&negative&believe the reviews. I would say don't bother doing it again. Sounds like you are mad&upset with me. Talk to yr ps It doesn't matter what procedure you get the ps is the one who will make you or break you. Don't take yr frustration out on me. Good luck
