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......

      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? 🤷‍♀️
