I haven't tried it either. And in no way am I knocking this product ..but my rule of thumb has always been if it sounds to good to be true.... It probably is.

Of course for $2 it may be worth a shot. Just make sure there are. NO strings attached.

Missy, That is good to know! Thank you.

I have had skin fold dermatitis for a couple of years. I generally treat it with hydrogen peroxide followed by alcohol to dry it. Stings like crazy, but keeps it clean and helps it heal. I am way too early to check into skin removal, but if I can get THAT part of this journey covered by insurance, that will be SWEET!

I agree... talk to your doc, you may get insurance to pay for skin tightening.

I am going through the process of getting the lap band surgery so I don't have any post op experience to give.

I ordered the free sample and was impressed. There is a learning curve on cutting the strips to meet your body's needs. However, even after one day I found improvement and so have ordered two boxes since then. I think they are kind of pricey. With shipping and handling it comes to about $36 a box. They say you can reuse a strip up to five times or as needed. The longest I've use one strip is twice. I think the box has a strip of 10 inches wide and 30 inches long.

I've used it for the skin-on-skin in the overhang of skin on the belly.

I've never used the product myself because I've never experienced any problems with my skin. But I work in a care facility and we often use it on some of our residents who seem to have irritated skin under there breasts/groins/ tummy folds and such. It's like a miracle! I would consult your doctor first incase there's an infection of some sort, but it really does bring a lot of relief and helps heal from my experiences at work with it! :)

I am a RN and we use it in the hospital it really helps and one cloth should last a week I believe. It can be washed. I agree see your dr first in case there is an infection. Then use it.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
