It worked.
Okay, so it was suuuper painful for about 9 days...by the 10th day, the pain started going away. Since then, I'm thrilled with the results. I look SO much better in clothing and I FEEL so much better as well. I wasn't sure I'd do it again but in truth...? Yeah, I would. It was SO completely worth the pain. Don't get me wrong, the pain was bad...but where I could pinch a sizable roll on my belly before? I can basically pinch about an inch now. I want to do what they call the "teacup" area next. That's the squishy chub that appears in front of my armpit area. I hate it, it's gross and I want it gone. This will do it!
Day 9, finally getting a tiny bit better
Today, 9 days since the procedure, I finally feel a smidgen better than the last 9 days. I'm still numb and still have pain but it's finally the manageable sort. If it were like this the last 9 days, that I could have handled. The fact that it was literally INSANE itching and awful jabbing PAIN that no one at the spa even MENTIONED...THAT made it worse. There was no preparation. I am guessing the pain will continue to go down from here. Thank GOD. I will add that 9 days out and yes, I can already tell that my stomach is flatter. : ) For that, I'm happy.
Still painful.
Today is 5/3. I had the procedure done 8 days ago. It's still painful. The area in which I feel the pain is getting smaller. It's focused around the belly button in about a 3 inch diameter...but for God's sake it's still there. It feels like small, mini knives are constantly stabbing me. What's funny is that since the area around my belly is slowly becoming less painful, I can actually now feel how painful my sides/love handles are. THAT'S how bad the pain has been all over my stomach. I'm writing this so people know. Day 8 and yes, still painful. I haven't found too many people talking about pain like this after 8 days so I'll continue to update on that. As for how I look...it's too early to really see anything significant yet.
Provider Review

The staff was nice...but NO ONE said anything about the after-effects and possible pain and itching. NO ONE. They seemed thrilled by the fat pad on my belly when the took the vacuum off and said I "hit a home run in the Coolsculpting world." That's great...I sure hope so...because as of right now, I don't think I'd recommend this to people.
