My moms friend has done them and lost inches. I have my first vist with the doctor next week. I like to look ahead to things I could do if I have extra skin.

Those body wraps work on either dehydration, heat, or a combination of both. Any results are temporary and will be reversed if you stop using the product regularly.

You can try to avoid loose skin as you lose weight- stay hydrated, exercise, and don't smoke- but the bottom line is once you already have lose skin there is no way to shrink it. You either have it removed via plastic surgery or you live with it.

My surgery roommate swears by them. She was so into them that she bought into a company. I have not tried them, but maybe when I have a bit of extra money, I will call her for a try!

IMO wraps are just a temporary illusion. Most of it is Fluid loss which is not the preferred way to lose excess fluid - nor is it good to be (or force) dehydration.

as others have said, you lose water weight (ONLY)

to lose actual weight, you must burn off the extra calories and not eat more calories than you burn off...just eat less and exercise (and let the band do its job) and not waste $ on gimmicks......just my opinion.

I know there has to be a semi natural way to help tighten up loose skin... I am still trying to do some research for options. I hope to not have any extra skin by losing weight slowly staying hydrated and exercising. Like I have said I just like to plan ahead I have not been banded yet.

i totally get it..

but missy was right..skin sag is based on age, genetics, the amount of weight one has to lose, skin etc...if you are a large person, such as me, there is gonna be some sag...you can exericse/tone as best you can and deal with the sag or have surgery....but in my two cents, my upper arms are bat wings and i can take flight and most likely fly to Austin, TX to visit my friend Amanda there but i will take sag over being obese any day of the week and twice on sunday.

its how you accept it...

I want 8 pack abs so bad but the best I may get is a 4 pack due to the excess skin and sag. I won't give up without a huge battle but if all I end up with is a 4 pack - well... I'll take that over a pot belly any day!

We have to work hard and make the best of what we have but the perfection of a 20 year old body after what our bodies have endured is likely not a reasonable goal.

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.
