I just want to share a couple of thoughts, I had this done one week ago and my only shock was that the pain would be at it's worse five days after the actual treatment! I am quite tolerant of pain but this threw me, wasn't expecting it, a delayed pain reaction.
I had my abdomen done and it seems to be the most sensitive for many, but wow! did it ever hurt! Made sleeping difficult and made me most definitely cranky and irritable. Made me appreciate people who live with chronic yet manageable pain. I would describe it as similar to random, sharp pinches...like an elastic band snapping at you from the inside.
However, I am optimistic that this will work, I am within ten pounds of my desired weight and very fit. I'll update in a few weeks. In the meantime, I am feeling every one of those damn fat cells self destructing..ouch! :)

Delayed pain with this procedure is normal. My little sparks (mild jolts) started six days after I had it done. Today is seven days since my procedure and I still feel like I have been punched in the stomach. Also very bloated and even up two pounds. My best friend had it done six months ago and she had all of this. She was swollen for three weeks then started seeing results. Hers are amazing. Hang in there!

I am updating after a month and I can't say I see much difference yet. I forgot to mention in my first post that I had my inner thighs done as well and really hope to see a difference there but so far, nada. I am waiting until the two month mark to see if it was worth it for me or not. I have been working out four times a week and drinking plenty of water. My tummy does seem a little bit flatter but can't say it's noticeable in my clothes yet. I will continue to update.

Thought I would give another update now that it's been almost two months. I am happy to say that there is a marked difference in my lower abdomen! I was getting what I call a 'smile' at the base of my stomach, which did not make me smile, and it is gone! My inner thighs, however, have not changed so I think the procedure is best for flanks (love handles) and abdomen. Ultimately, I think it's worth it but overpriced for the actual results. Wish I could afford to do my upper abdomen too, despite that pain which kicked in at day five and lasted about four days. I am pretty happy.
Hi there, thanks for sharing your experience with us. I have read that the pain can get worse towards the end of the first week. It seems to go away within a couple of weeks though. Please keep us updated on your progress!
