You might gain weight after Coolsculpting...

WORTH IT$2,250
I have to admit that since I am looking thinner in the mid section and my pants are feeling better, and my stomach looks flatter, that I find myself feeling like it's ok if I skip the treadmill, have that extra glass of wine, or snack a little bit too much... i've gained 4 pounds..

Everyone there was super nice but they were all in their 20s and super skinny and were telling me they had "stomachs like mine" until they did cool sculpting themselves. Please... I don't believe it for a second. But nice people.

Great! So, how long did it take for you to see results. It's been four weeks for me and NOTHING! Well, scratch that. I look bigger, even though I weigh the same.

Question: So, all in all, are you satisfied with the results? Would you do it again? Was it worth the price? I just had it done on my lower abdomen. Never had a problem with weight (under 100 lbs.); however, I started getting a pooch bcuz of age. So, I decided to get it done on June 2, but haven't seen any reduction in that area. In fact, it actually seems a bit bigger even though I haven't gained any weight. It's only been a little over two weeks, so I just might be bcuz I'm impatient. I'm just curious to know whether or not I will see something - ANYTHING - in the weeks to come. Thanks for sharing and I look forward to your response.

I am happy so far and considering doing another treatment, however, my situation may not be the same as others. After my last c-section I had a very hard ridge which felt like scar tissue and it made my abdomen hard to touch, looked lumpy and would not go away. This took that away entirely and smoothed things out, so whereas I was not looking for "flat abs" I was hoping to get rid of that lump and it did for me. The HUGE and hard "muffin top roll" is now a small and soft muffin top roll that I can live with. My pants fit better, i look better, i feel better, so yes I am happy!

You comment makes me feel better. I'm not expecting any drastic change (like those who get liposuction), but I wanted to see a little change. Nothing, yet. I'm happy that you were able to achieve what you wanted. :) My twin had a c-section, so am very familiar with the effects it has on a woman's physique. Thank you for your response!

This coming Friday june 26, is my 3rd month since I got the cool scuplting precedures, and until now I still didn't see any changes. I really do hope that I see some changes soon.
June 21, 2015
Oh, no! So sorry to hear that you haven't seen any changes after three months. The way it's going for me (it actually looks bigger, even after nearly three weeks), I might be in the category with "not worth it." :/ Very disappointing, to say the least. Thanks for sharing, shawnarae12.

Hang in there - I didn't notice much at all in the beginning and then just all of a sudden one day I did. It takes longer for some people than others. I think you will be surprised when you do your follow up photos too - when you are looking every day for changes they are harder to see that they are happening.
June 23, 2015
Okay, I try to hang in there. Thank you for your positive responses. Maybe I am looking at myself everyday, hopping to see a difference. I really ought to stop obsessing about it. LOL! Thanks, again. :)

Geez! Sorry for the poor grammar/spelling. I didn't proofread. :/
July 7, 2015
I can see you got good results)) so congrats!
July 19, 2015
Wow....Looks great. My results didn't really show for a good 2 months. Fantastic!

I've been on vacation for two weeks complete with way too much food and alcohol. I won't even get in a scale for another two weeks to give myself some time to recover from vacation weight gain. But here are my six week photos.

you still look better than when you first started. Keep the pics coming -especially up to 6 months.. I really want to know if it keeps getting flatter. Thanks.
June 17, 2015
I definitely look even better now. I'm waiting to do another set of photos because we've had a busy two weeks and have been eating out a lot. I think I'll post a set right before 4 July holiday. Stay tune, but I am back in a bikini!
