I just had my coolsculpting done today with 5 treatments, 1 Lower Abs, 2 Upper Abs, and 2 Love Handles. I did my research ahead of the procedure and I felt that it was as expected. Slightly uncomfortable in the beginning of the treatment and the massage is unpleasant but bearable and quick. Im feeling good, my stomach is swollen as expected but no pain. My skin is a little bit sensitive if it is rubbed against anything but not painful. I will keep everyone posted, looking forward to positive results :)

Good Luck. I have a question. I've read in other reviews that they are given Lipo Edge injections. Is this the case with you, too?
March 1, 2018
No, I did not get any injections.

Good luck!! I'm interested in coolsculpting too. why made you decide to do this instead of traditional lipo? Do you feel the price was reasonable?
March 5, 2018
Thank You! I decided on the coolsculpting bc I do not have the luxury of the downtime that is required for Lipo recovery. I was also afraid that I would have sagging skin after Lipo vs the gradual decrease of CS. As far as the price, If it works I'm ok w what I paid.

Please let me know if it works & how much fat you lose. I was considering getting it done but I'm skeptical.
March 10, 2018
I plan on posting weekly or bi-weekly pics to show my progress - fingers crossed!
March 9, 2018
How much does it cost and where do you do this?
March 10, 2018
That info is at the top of the page. I looked on Coolsculpting.com to find a provider in my area. I went to a Plastic Surgeon's office, from what I read there are some sketchy places that offer CS and usually those ppl have an unpleasant experience.

It's been 1 week since my coolsculpting. All of my swelling is gone and I only had one small bruise. I am still numb, but have not experienced any pain. I returned to the gym 4 days later and did not have any problems. I do have mild itching on and off but nothing too bad. I've been trying to drink as much water as possible and I have been wearing spanx when I leave the house (not sure I need to but it makes me feel better :)

Its been 3 weeks on 03/21/18, not noticing a difference yet but I know it takes months for the final results. I have no numbness anymore, never experienced pain, just annoyance and sensitivity. Saying hopeful!!

I am having the same thoughts! I hope it works for both of us!
April 4, 2018
I am also so worried! It will be 4 weeks this Friday 04/06/18 and see no difference. I really hope it works for all of us.
April 9, 2018
I am starting to notice a difference. My stomach feels tighter and it seems smaller. I hope I am not imagining it. But I am giving it some more time. Good luck!
April 9, 2018
I haven't seen anything yet, I really hope it works because I cannot see myself doing Lipo.
April 9, 2018
Thank you, I'm still hopeful and patiently waiting!
April 9, 2018
It took me nearly 6 weeks to see even the slightest difference, but now, 3 months in, I couldn't be happier -- hang in there, and be patient! Best of luck :)
June 16, 2019
same with me. I was able to see 6 weeks after but even better after the 3 months. I lost all of it !! I am AMAZE with the results. Be patient : )
