6 days post - procedure: The first few days were almost unbearable. I don't know how people go back to regular exercise. I have felt like a hard lump sits in my belly pooch, which was swollen basically up until today. The first few days I looked pregnant! Not ok! My belly still doesn't "ripple in" when I bend like it did before, but sticks out in pregnant belly form causing me to curve around it. Today it finally doesn't look swollen, but still has hard lump and muffin-top-ness. Running has not happened, as jogging causes the lump to bounce up and down uncomfortably.
Itchy and surface pain developed after about 2 days and has not subsided yet. Waiting for results. I am still ok with what is happening as it is still the first week and other reviewers have similar results before having good results of fat loss. If this last more than 2 weeks I will contact doctor.

Does it last?

After 2-3 weeks the "hard lump" feeling went away (slowly) and I was able to start running again. At 1.5-2 months I felt amazing. The fat had dropped off, for the first time I had a defined waist (in at the sides). It didn't take off all the jiggle (and I didn't expect it to) but I definitely looked better than before.
Now at 3 months out, I'm not sure if it is anything I did, or the procedure not holding, but the front belly doesn't look like it changed from before - looks like belly pooch from prior to procedure (but, sides are still looking better).
Anyone have this problem?

Hi Libby,
Just checking in to see if your results have changed since your last post? Please update when you can... we're all rooting for you. :)

Not sure if it is just the cool sculpting not working, or I just gained more weight than I thought, but the results are not showing up anymore. I am up a pants size, though I do see more of a defined waist. Belly pooch is back.
I wonder if more treatments would have helped? I can't afford it though.

According to the doctors, more than one treatment can give you better results. I'm not sure if that applies if you didn't get any results, though.
