I had coolsculpting on my abdomen today. After reading reviews, I was terrified of the pain I would experience during and after the procedure. I'm happy to report that it wasn't painful at all! Don't be scared off by those reviews! The suction and cooling during the procedure are, at most, a tad uncomfortable. During the 35 minute procedure I almost fell asleep. After the procedure I could have definitely returned to my office job, but I requested to work from home that afternoon before I had the procedure done because I was so scared from reading reviews. About 4 hours after the procedure, I have just numbness in the area treated. I have no swelling, bruising, or anything else. I am 5'4", 126 pounds and am working to get in perfect shape for my wedding. If I am happy with the results and see no side effects in the upcoming days, I plan to get my flanks, inner thighs, and banana rolls done. So far so good! I will update this post later on.

Not yet, but I want to! Only thing holding me back from doing the flanks is the cost.
I didn't have any bad side effects with my abdomen. Numbness, yes. But it was nothing that I noticed in my day-to-day life. Hope this helps! :)

did you hear of anyone else with good or bad results?? some people get some kind of rare thing the fat ccells multiply and they get heavier in the treated area that freaks me out.. did you consider sculpsure??

Day 2 - still no side effects

Day 2 - looking at me, you can't tell I had anything done yesterday. My fiancé and none of my friends or family know. If I press down on my abdomen, I feel a little numbness and soreness. Living day to day life, I'm completely unaffected. Happy with how this is going so far!

The pain is supposed to come only after day 3-5. I had mine done and on the 4th day, when the pain started, it was excruciating.

Do you see a lot of difference though? When I did my upper arms the 2nd time, no pain but I am pretty sure the effect wasn't as obvious as the parts where I felt a lot of pain.
