Hi guys I'm new here. I had my procedure done 1 week ago and go in for follow up today with my surgeon. I did wonder about extra skin from weight loss. I have several co -workers that have done the lapband and so I have seen the good, bad, and ugly of it. I also have co-workers that use these wraps and have seen some awesome results as far as tightening and toning. Yes Water and eating healthy need to be done to see and continue seeing good results, So I'm going to try the wraps with my weight loss to try and help with my skin. I'm just curious if anyone else has done this? I originally wanted the 100 cal 14 Gram gluten free Protein shake from my coworker and was sold on the wraps because I had seen results from several coworkers. I've lost 23 lbs and I'm 3 weeks in from preop diet. I'm still supposed to stay on liquids for 4 more weeks and today get full liquids!!!

I'd appreciate feedback especially from anyone who has done anything like this!

I say if it's something you want to spend your money on, then go for it. I personally did nothing over my journey, and I have very little excess skin. I think a lot of it is genetic, so it's hard to say up front who will have the problem and who won't.

Age is also a huge factor it sounds like as well as how fast you lost. Good for you!!! That's good to know!

To each their own. I am not a fan of the wraps nor their price. I have tried the product a few times in the past. I am with Carolinagirl on this one..just Water weight that comes back......

      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'. ???

        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.

      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!
