So Today I went in and got my Coolsculpting done!!!!! 9am I was brought into the office and we reviewed the procedure. My tech Annie was extremely nice and took the time to explain everything that I didn't already know and how each step was going t work out. First and foremost she was very very honest and upfront about what I was going to feel and really took the time to let me know what was going to happen.

The procedure started by me stripping into some very unflattering shorts that they provided so I wouldn't get ay of the gel on my own clothing. We proceeded to take pictures from multiple angles and then Annie marked my stomach. This pictures are being uploaded to a private drive in a few days so I will post them as son as I get them. I was getting a diamond pattern on my upper and lower abs. I layed on the bed and they placed the protective film onto my stomach which was cold, real cold. lol The attachment was placed n the first part of my lower abs and the suction was not too intense but it was an odd feeling. Once the cold kicked in it was a little shocking but nothing unbearable. If you can get past the first 5 minutes you are smooth sailing. I proceeded to sit and watch tv in my little spa room with my pager button if I should need Annie. It was a welcomed day off from work :) Next thing I know Annie is walking in and my first hour was up....I had managed to catch a few zzzz's . I read other reviews where people said it was painful but I slept and was in no pain.

It came time to remove the applicator and that was fine. A little odd but again no pain. Then I see the stick of "butter" Annie prepared me and started to massage....and that hurt but again nothing too excruciating just felt like I had sunburn and someone was massaging my skin a little too hard. However after a few minutes the skin was warm and the pain subsided. I only had a few little red "hickie" marks so Annie explained that those were the areas where I would bruise if I ended up bruising at all.

We went through the other lower ab the same way and it was exactly like the first. Annie prepared me saying the upper abs hurt a little more than the lower and she was right. The initial suction and freezing was a little "stingy" but not painful. She said it was because it was closer to my ribs and I had less fat there than I did on my lowers which is true.

Went through two applicators....and again no pain but the massaging was the most painful part.

I was swollen after but not in any pain after the first few minutes of massage I went downstairs and proceeded to have laser sclerotherapy and needle injections so needless to say I was in good moving shape and had no limitations. My total cost was $2400 (they threw in the first sclerotherapy session I wanted as a bonus $450 value) I drove home after everything and was perfectly fine.

I will be posting my before pics as soon as they are available. Will keep you updated
