  1. I havent had a fill in almost 2 years and I eat everything. Some foods I still have trouble, mostly when I eat too fast, but for the most part I eat what I want. You will learn to live with your band and not depend on it anymore.
  2. Its funny you say that because I do notice that too. I actually had to think about what I ate the day I first smelled it. It might be from your vitamins. I take a mulitvitamin and drink "Greens" (supplement of 8 servings of fruit & veggies) and I think it might be all my supplements. Ask your doctor, but I think its normal.

    I have been working out since the day my doctor gave me the ok in 2009. The one exercise that irritates my band, is crunches/sit-ups. I recommend planks and leg lights for core strengthening.
  4. I use It Works defining gel and love. I was banded in 2009 and had issues with loose skin. I use the wraps and defining gel and my skin is more firm than I ever imagined. Still working at it, but its 80% better. Not to mention the appearance of stretch marks and cellulite is almost gone. Here is where I get my products. www.showstopperwraps.myitworks.com Read my true life story. Hope this helps
  5. Hi FentonMama, I was banded in 2009 and while working out and eating healthy (now vegetarian), I still had loose skin. I found a friend who sold It Wraps and decided to try them. Yes!!! They work, but you have to use the wraps properly by drinking a lot of Water, eating healthy, and maintaining an exercise regimen. You do not loose water weight!!! What happens is the natural ingredients detox your body while toning, tightening, and & firming your skin. Without the wraps, my skin would be way worse even with my intense workouts. Good luck on your weight loss. Keep it up! Please check out my true story on my site and email me with any questions. I specifically love to work with bariatric patients because I share the same story of struggle. https://showstopperwraps.myitworks.com/Home
