I finally got coolsculpting done. I needed a lot of areas tackled so I had my lower abs tackled by the coolmax on the left and right, then again my middle abs two more cool max applicators then my upper abs got two cool core applicators. This was a lot in one appointment but it needed to be done. I will post my experience as I go.

Update:
That night I didn't sleep too well, my stomach was quite tender. The next morning I was very very swollen felt about 7 months pregnant. I was not red and no bruises but just very tender and swollen. I went to work but wore elastic waist pants and a form fitted tank top under my work shirt. I felt quite stiff. That 2nd night I took Tylenol pm and went to bed early and slept better. But stayed flat on my back all night. I hoped that the swelling would go down.

The next morning still swollen and tender but went to work and was fine just very sore and pregnant looking.

Today is day 4 now and I can see now that my upper abs are not as swollen but my lower abdominal area is still very swollen. I am also still very numb and tender. I hope this will be all worth it. So far nothing terrible but it's definitely a hindering feeling to not be able to sit straight up, or lean forward on tie my shoes.

How many sessions did you have done?
October 31, 2016
Just one, but 6 areas: 4 big ones called cool max and 2 small ones called cool core. Though I was told to expect needing a second round but probably less areas.

It was the newer ones that take 35 minutes. But I was still there from about 9 am until 3. I'm actually feeling good and I am still looking for results. Slight numbness left. Other than that no complaints.

Did it work I have the same problem stubborn belly fat that just won't go. Even after extensive dieting and exercise. Curious to know your results.

Good to know thank you... I think I'm just excited to be feeling normal again and hopefully I will eventually see results. They told me 10-12 weeks.. Super excited.

Night of day 4

Tingling sensations are zing-ing me in my lower abdominal area. I think the upper area where the cool core ones were done are fine but the mid and lower areas where I had 4 max cycles is going to take several more days to recover. Swelling is very obvious still. Going to try sleeping without Tylenol pm tonight. I will post a picture of my swelling from today as well. I'd day right now I look worse than before I did the treatment because of the swelling.
