I lost 30 lbs and plateau,I have done every Tony Horton video twice if not three times, eat right just can't get rid of the tire around my middle. Menopause I hate YOU!

Day of procedure, felt like what everyone has posted, massage part sucks, but nothing that one cannot handle. After VERY sore like I got punched in the abdomen, stomach and bra far area! Wore Spanx that night and stayed active, but I will say I am sore!

Day 2 post- still very sore and swollen! Went swimming and the pool helped a lot, gravity wasn't a factor!

Advice - get this done on a Friday so you have 2 days just in case to recoup! Spanx immediately and Motrin. Waiting for the dreaded day 6,7,8.......

Thank you for the honest on how you felt. I'm going this friday and I have to admit I'm a little nervous.

Get Aspercream with Lidocane and lots of ice packs that you can rotate. This first procedure wasn't as bad as the second one. The first one I was back in action on the 10th day. The second time around, it's now day 13 and I still feel those zingers in my stomach! It does hurt but it passes. See if the Dr. Will prescribe you Ultram, it helps when the pain comes at day 5. Good Luck!

Hello Sunshine, I told you I'd let you know how things wentso here we go. I had to be there for 4hours do to Stephanie the tech felt it would be better to do the sculpting in 4 apps. So far I'm ok little warm feeling in the stomach area but not bad,some prickling but not as bad as that one machine does. You were right on when it comes to Stephanie she is awesome. Oh yeah I also bought the Aspercreme like you said. Thanks for the heads up on everything I will let you know how it's going in a few days.

Get some spanx too, they will help you, along with the ice packs. My pain didn't start until day 3, so I really hope you don't have any! Good Luck! BTW I am on day 16, second treatment and still a bit sore , but finally no pain.

Hi. I had CS on 6/14 on my flanks, inner thighs and banana rolls. I hated the cold gel patch, the weight of the device lying on me, the pull of the suction, but absolutely Loved the massage. Like you, the first 2 days I was just tender and sore but later on day 3 the sharp zingers started and so far haven't stopped but on my flanks only. Got so bad I had to resort to taking pain pills that I had gotten for previous Lipo but never hurt bad enough to take. Did you bruise? I haven't and have only swelled a bit. My sides feel like a shark took a bite out of them. Sleeping is difficult to say the least. Sure hope I don't need a second treatment because I don't want to go through this again. The nurse who did the CS and a receptionist at the dr office both had their stomachs done a few days before me. Both have said the swelling, bloating, and cramping are pretty bad. I'll be checking your posts to see how you're doing and if the pain has started. Hang in there!

Thanks for the reply, at first only bruised on my back fat, but now it is coming out on my abdomen and stomach. Feel the zingers when I am sitting mostly. I do laps in my pool and that eases the uncomfortableness, now I'm get the sharper pains in the abdomen the mostly. I'm still just doing Motrin 3x a day, so we will see how the rest of the week goes! I'm not in a hurry to get round 2 done though.

Day 5 wow

sunshine_hc
Ok it's day 5 and the nerves are waking up , wow! I'm trying to tuff it out although it makes it harder at work. I am wearing spanx, I have taken Motrin. I "moved" and not be sedentary since the procedure, but I have to say today is the most uncomfortable I have been! I hope tomorrow is better, I am ready for week one to be completed!
