    WOW!! I read the conversations via my phone so I hope I didn't miss anything, you know sometimes the notifications don't all go through.

    I just want to start off by thanking those who are not being mean to me by basically shooting me down and trying to make me feel stupid for believing in something that has worked on me and tightening my skin.

    I tried a body wrap 7years ago when I lost weight with Phentermine, I paid 90.00 and realized it was all a scam. I was still open minded though. Not all products are failure or scams. I bet those of you who say "there is nothing to help the skin tighten" <in a whiney annoying voice>, well I bet you prob have even used Nivea firming lotion or over the counter products? so Whatever.

    I have been damaging my skin on and off with every diet and medication pills to help loose weight since I was 16, I always been overweight and thin.. yoyo weight loss victim. Every other year I would loose 20-50lbs and gain it back within the year!

    This time I did try the wraps because my friend kept telling me about them, so after 4months of her begging me to try them.. I did.. and I LOVED THEM, THEY FLIPPIN WORKED! It is a one of a kind patent item! no other wrap is like this one with the ingredients. It is fairly new and not sold in store of course.

    I got super duper happy and wanted to share the product with people who have the same skin slackening problem! But well it backfired on here, but whatever if you don't believe then don't believe and don't BE MEAN! You dont know me and I don't know you, SO LEARN TO RESPECT MY OPINIONS BEFORE YOU TRY AND BELITTLE WHAT I LIKE AND WORKS FOR ME!

    Sorry if I can't afford plastic surgery and trying different products! I will continue to use what works for me and those who have tried it and works for them.. GOD BLESS THEM FOR GIVING THEM A TRY and working on them!

    If I could I would give these away but I can't of course! It costs money!! I have done wrap parties with my friends who have had weight loss surgeries, I take pictures and measurements. before and after, they are amazed and love it! There is this one who who had terrible skin slackening.... guess what I did.. I let her have 3 wraps for the price of 1!!!!!! yes I did that becauses I felt her pain!!! Out of my pocket!!! I am trying to help people and that is it. I too have feelings so please stop trying to shoot at me verballyl! Again the thing with the internet.. people have the guts to say what they really wouldn't say in your face. And for you to keep poking at it.. well just pathetic ... This died down and again it was bought back up.. to those of you and you know and can speak up.. who have asked me for info.. HAVE I GIVEN IT TO YOU? no, ... so to those of you who think it's a scam and think I jumped to the opportunity when there interested in buying them. and take their money.. no sorry, I am not like that. I will however get back to you.

    I am currently doing 2 fundraisers for NYC friend of mine and her family who are now homeless due to the hurrican and another friend who passed away Halloween morning due to cancer and lives in NY, trying to plan a funeral in the mist of the disaster is hard and well I have been busy with that...... Sorry I have been busy.

    I am just thankful my wraps have helped me to be an awesome Halloween sexy chick, I wasn't going to dress up, since I was crying all day about my friend passing on, but last minute I did, for my daughter. She was a pretty butterfly and wanted us to hang out and do something. So I did. Once I get a moment I will look for my before cellulity saggy thighs and my Halloween look so you can see the difference.

    I am not looking for enemies or getting mean messages, so please stop. Really, we are adults, lets act like adults and respect one another. Thank You!

    Health care hardens people. It is a tough industry. Doctors and nurses do joke about their patients. I don't like it' date=' but it happens. I just accept it. It might be a coping mechanism.[/quote']

    You are right we do joke here and there about certain moments and things.., I'm never too mean. I just don't like the putting down others for their choices even if its elective surgery, no ones business! I did tell so far 3 patients of mine who had Wls :) of course we bonded

    you know what.....it's nothing more than ignorance....people that have resorted to wls do so not bc they are lazy...but just the opposite...lazy would be doing nothing....rather...resorting to have wls takes much courage..strength...and fortitude...qualities thtare rarely found. It has been my experience that many who condescend wls patients do so bc they lack the courage to do it themselves.

    Furthermore...i have found that just bc 2 people weigh the same does not mean that they both have the same underlying issues thatgot them to that wt and as such..just bc their wt is the same does not mean that they r both appropriate psych candidates for surgery. For instance--thereare many my size who are that size bc they culturally enjoy big meals with family..cooking...and all that goes with the family tradition....i know many who tell me they havent even tried to diet since they were teens and now theyre in their 40s--50s....

    in fact... my friend growing up was never overwt--i always was...she has never dieted in her life---i have never not been on a diet....we go back to when we were 15...she would go back and forth bwn being in a bikini to being just over that......i woudl diet like crazy and struggle every day of my life just t maintain......anyway...flash over to now and shes approx 350lbs.....how it happened i really dont know but it seemed overnight---anyway...guess what....shes never once even thought about going on a diet....when i try and gently nudge her to watch what she eats for her healthy she couldn't be bothered...she says that shes going to continue to eat what she wants and the wt will be whatever its meant to be..it surprisingly doesnt see to affect her at all and she never once complains about it and never once in her life has she exercised ...yet i average 1-2 hrs a day of exercise 7 days a week for most of my life....as such......even though i weigh about 120lbs less than her...I am a wls surgery candidate...and in my opinion...she is not. or would she ever even consider wls).

    Lastly...I was reading a medical journal recently that said that wls will no longer be called wls inteh s=future and instead it will have a more fitting name of 'metabolic surgery' and it said that many hospitals have already changed their units name to accomodate for the shift in thinking and teh realization of how sugery can drastically help diebetes patients. WHether many realize it or not---wls is mostly about teh hormonal shift (ghrenlin removal/reduction) than anything else....and in teh fiture the article said their will be mediaction that will 'block ghrenlin' production much like insulin is given to control diabetes.

    So in conclusion....i stand ny what i originally said...it's nothing ore than ignorance....and its quite sad that it is teh last bastion of acceptable discrimination inyhis country......but you know what....go ahead and let those nurses 'die fat' as they said.....you'll be out shopping for your skinny jeans and too busy to even notice....

    Its called ignorance. I use to think it was the lazy way out also. Then I started researching it and learned that it is hard work and a tool to help you reach your health goals. Now I am two days post open and proud of myself for taking the first step to healthy.

    Total ignorance also jealousy, I use to be anti Wls I Lu because my insurance didn't cover it, lol but at least I use to admit the reason to it!

    Psalm 121

    1 I lift up my eyes to the mountains—

    where does my help come from?

    2 My help comes from the Lord' date='

    the Maker of heaven and earth.

    3 He will not let your foot slip—

    he who watches over you will not slumber;

    4 indeed, he who watches over Israel

    will neither slumber nor sleep.

    5 The Lord watches over you—

    the Lord is your shade at your right hand;

    6 the sun will not harm you by day,

    nor the moon by night.

    7 The Lord will keep you from all harm—

    he will watch over your life;

    8 the Lord will watch over your coming and going[/quote']

    Amen

    You can thank pill junkies for that. They run in ERs looking for a fix making it an insane chore for those of us who need the stronger meds to get them. And dilaudid is a very common street drug here. Since you're admitted they should give you something stronger. This is a situation where you have to be the squeaky wheel!

    I totally agree!
