I had the Cool Sculpting procedure done on Friday....

I had the Cool Sculpting procedure done on Friday. They did three small devices in a triangle shape over my stomach area. (Not at the same time - one at a time!)
I was prepared for the uncomfortable feeling of the suction, but I must say, it does actually hurt. Not unbearable, but I liken it very much to the pain of getting a mammogram, when they smash your breast between the plates. It does numb after 5 minutes, and it didn't bother me at all for the vast majority of the time.
I'm glad I got the small device, since my research on this site seems to suggest that the intense pain AFTER the procedure is (usually? always?) from the large device. In fact, there was a guy who was having cool sculpting done the day of my consultation, and he had the large device and actually fainted when the put the device on.
The procedure was done last Friday. No pain except for the suction part. On Saturday and Sunday, the sensation was like when a foot falls asleep. When it starts to wake up, it feels like pins and needles. After that, but before it fully wakes up, it's a little sore and a little numb to the touch. THAT'S what it felt like. A little sore and a little numb when touched. I went on long walks, and with loose pants around the waist, it didn't bother me at all.
Today, it's only the tiniest bit numb and sore when I rub it. So I don't rub it.
I think I'm still a little swollen - definitely not skinnier.
Will post pics when/if it changes.

It's about a week an a half later - my husband says my belly has definitely gone down. I think it has also, although many reviews say it takes some weeks to notice. I certainly have not been eating any better and I'm doing about the same amount of exercise.
I took a long flight a week after the procedure, and I will say that it was uncomfortable. Not painful. Just uncomfortable. My stomach area is finally stopped being numb, but it's turned a bit itchy. Hey, that's okay if it's actually getting slimmer!

I'm very interested in seeing how yours turns out. This is the first time I've seen them placed in a triangle.

Yes - I hadn't seen that on any of the other reviews. The assistant who did it said that it was good because the sections overlapped and would pull fat in from the surrounding areas - thus giving a sort of double dose!
