I've been following real self reviews on coolsculpting and I've decided to finally take the plunge! It's been a few hours since my session and my stomach is swollen and bruised. It's incredibly larger and I'm almost scared but I will keep this post updated. First photo is my before and second one is after my session today.

SO MUCH PAIN

cloud8
It is day 4 and I am I SO MUCH PAIN. It's extremely bad shooting pain which makes me feel nauseous when I move too fast...and by moving too fast I mean walking. I've been bed ridden every moment I can be. The whole "painless" procedure is a lie. It feels like my stomach is being stabbed with needles over and over again. The only thing that works is icing my stomach but when I ice it for too long, I have myself an ice burn. Great. This is terrible, terrible pain. I hope the results are worth it.

It doesn't work and not worth the pain. I had mine done May 6 no results

Thats only 1 month! The website says you can see results as early as 3 weeks but you will see max results by 3 mos and further on from there -- stay positive!

I agree one month is not enough time to tell if it worked or not. Some people do see results early on but most don't see results until two months!

It worked for me.

I had it done on 31 May in London. I've been feeling the same type of pain, as you say, just like being stabbed with needles or a thousand stinging nettles. My stomach is swollen and numb too, although I think the sensation is coming back a little today (Day 7) I've had to sleep with an ice pack on my stomach for the last 3 nights. I hope it will be worth it in the end. Trying to stay positive but it's difficult when I look and feel worse than before.

I had a lot of pain too :( they definitely sugar coat the recovery part for sure !

I agree as well , way too early to tell . Give it more time girlie !! :) I think you will see results soon.

Day 5 and in so much pain but I see some results?

cloud8
So it is day 5 and I couldn't sleep all of last night due to shooting pain and a burning sensation on my stomach. It was so incredibly painful and made me feel nauseous. I'm cancelling all my appointments and calling in sick for work today. It's intolerable. I should get some nerve pain medication however I don't want to get out of bed. I am not exaggerating. I know everyone's body takes the treatment differently but this sucks. However, it's day 5 and I see a slight change in my body. It looks like my lower abs has flattened out a bit. Not too sure if I'm imagining things Bc I'm hoping to justify this pain.

Hi try wearing spanx or some sort of compression garment. I did not wear after my 2nd treatment and had pain. Once I started wearing again , pain was minimal .
June 7, 2016
I've tried wearing a waist trainer and it makes the pain worse unfortunately. Just going to be bedridden for a few days
June 8, 2016
Ice packs and hang in there! it will pass in a few days
June 8, 2016
You're not imagining it.. I see some flattening as well! Hang in there!
