Mother of 2, 2 C-sections - Strongsville, OH

I am 44, two c-sections, small belly pooch and some skin laxity. I weigh about 150 lbs,and am 5'7". I wear a size 6. I'm currently getting my cool sculpting procedure done, as I type this...35 min in to first of 3 areas.(4/23/16- date won't enter today as treatment date, so had to put 4/24) They are using the coolmax on my lower abdomen and two curlcurve applicators will be diagonal over my belly button. It was somewhat painful when they turned on the coolmax...pain to sides, like cramping, and pain above belly button. I was surprised how high it was placed; my belly button is in the suction. I will be getting the other two treatments directly following this one, so I will be here for 3 hrs. I will let you know how that goes with the smaller applicator. I will just say that I would describe the first 5-10 min of this as painful. Now it is still uncomfortable; I don't feel like I can take a deep breath or my skin will tear out of the suction. I do feel cooling, but not much actual sensation in the suction. Strangely, I feel gassy rumbling going on in my belly.

I woke up this morning with only a little swelling; much less than yesterday. I'm still feeling sore and have developed 2 small bruised areas on my upper/ mid abs. I actually took 2 photos this morning. You can see the marker lines, small bruise and I'm still a bit swollen.

I went back to work today and besides a little tenderness and swelling, it was almost normal. I do feel numb, but not completely. I wore a compression tank top to support my tummy, and a baggy top. I am just hoping to make it past the next 4 days without the nerve pain people have experienced! The worst part of it as of today, is that I look chubbier than normal due to swelling.
