Need info about It Works! wraps



Recommended Posts

Good morning! I am wondering if any banders have tried the It Works! wraps to help lose fat and inches. I am almost 7 months post surgery and have lost nearly 60 pounds. I am looking into the It Works! wraps as an additional tool to help me meet my goals. If you know anything about using these with a band, please share!

well from what i understand, the wraps help you lose (Water weight) and not real inches/pounds lost

to lose weight you must eat less calories than you burn off..but if you like it, then use it....

As I understand it, the results are temporary. Just trust your band, follow doctors orders and you will be fine without the extra expense. IMHO

My doctor said you either will or will not have sagging skin. He never said but if you try the wraps. Mis made a really good post while ago about the wraps. Something like they have diruretics in them and they draw out a lot of Water. Hopefully she will reply to this post.

I would like to know more about these also, have friends who sell them and being inundated from acquaintances on Facebook. They swear it is not a temporary Water loss. Hope we have some people that know more than me. hugs

My guess is that this is like a "hillbilly lapband" it causes restriction and won't let your stomach expand beyond a certain level.

I cannot see the point of combining them though. You are already far more restricted with the band than what this could ever do.

Again, just my guess...

If you want to lose pounds and inches, why not just do it the legitimate way-cut your food intake and exercise more? You didn't have WLS as a quick fix so why waste your money on another gimmick?

I just don't get it...

Hillbilly lapband!!! That's hilarious. Lol. I've never tried them myself.... They seem to be getting really popular though.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
