The reviews certainly vary on this procedure. I am hopeful that I am a good candidate and can handle any pain. I am 51, 5'5", 160 lbs. From weightlifting, running and other exercising I am fairly muscular. I maintained a weight of 130-140 since college with the exception of 2 pregnancies. In the past three years, I have struggled with fatty areas and weight gain while continuing to exercise and eat right. I am a vegetarian who eats fish, dairy and eggs. A typical week of exercise is 10 hours. I have decided that it would be a good idea to take an anxiety med and a pain pill before the procedure. I am having inner thighs and upper/lower abdomen done.

Day1 - feeling good
shcs1November 13, 2013
The meds before the procedure really helped relax me. It was definitely an odd feeling and even odder to see my frozen fat. The worst area was my upper ab. It felt like it was pulling muscle into the instrument also. Small bruising there. No other bruising. I just feel tender like I did too many ab crunches. A little sweeling and a little odd sensation of being numb. So far so good.

Welcome! Glad you're doing well so far. I've heard people describe the frozen fat as looking like a stick of butter... :-P that must look odd!
Please keep us posted on your results. I hope they turn out great for you.

Day 4 - still a little tender
shcs1November 16, 2013
Upper abs still tender. Everything else just feels a little odd but no pain. Using heating pad at night and massaging. Also used topical Arnica and it seems to help.

They will provide me with before and after pics at the end of the 4 months. I am starting to see results in my lower abs. I have lost 3 pounds even with the holiday eating and limited exercise due to weather. So far, so good.

4 months after. Looks so great and I am doing a second treatment on Monday. I get 50% off 2nd treatment. I'll skip upper abs because there really is not enough fat to grab with suction device and this was my most painfull area last time. Pictures showed big difference, hopefully I can load next week. Had a friend who had not seen me in a while tell me it looked like I had lost 30 lbs!!!
