If you do the right ones they will. A lot of them just reduce Water weight. I use the ones from It Works! Global called the Ultimate Body Applicator and I love them. I have lost 170 lbs so far and I've got barely any hanging skin. My stretch marks are very light as well and my scars from the surgery are almost completely gone. I used the products for 4 months and loved them so much I became a consultant. If you would like more info on them please let me know because they really do work great and I'm hoping I don't need to do any skin removal.

These wraps won't dehydrate you, they actually want you to drink Water while they are on. Go to my website and read about the Ultimate Body Applicators. They are awesome! I just had 3 people ask me to wrap them today.

www.loseitwithruth.itworks.net

I also take the Vitals for my Vitamin, they dissolve in 2 minutes so they are fully absorbed, and I take the Greens. that gives you all your nutrients from fruits and veggies plus it helps fight cancer by alkalizing your body, because cancer is found to grow in people who are more acidic. They have a lot of great products, so check it out and let me know what you think.

My consultant ID is 140553 and my name is Ruth Pringle. I'll have to see if I can post some pictures of results with people I've wrapped. I should of taken pictures of my stomach from when I started wrapping until now, but I didn't :wacko: So just let me know what you think!

Would you recommend the defining gel?

Yes! I use that on spots in between wraps and also in spots that really can't be wrapped (like "the twins") to help keep them from getting too saggy. It's the same formula as in the wraps just not as potent.

I want to try the wrsps but embarrassed to have someone see my fat. Can I do it by myself ? If so where do I buy a kit and how expensive?

You can wrap yourself. Practice wrapping your target area with just plastic wrap to get the hang of it. You want to make it very tight to hold the wrap in place. It took me some practice before I could get it tight, but at 450 lbs I was able to wrap myself. You can buy them right off the website and there is also am instructional video on how to wrap. The price will depend on if you do the autoship (which I recommend because you get lots of benefits!) or just buy them straight out.

How often should you use the global wraps? I'm getting my surgery next Tuesday. How long should I wait until I start using them?

I would wait to start using them until your scars are healed over and you can start washing the areas safely without causing harm. The wraps can be used once every 72 hours. I suggest using one a week, that way with the 4 pack, you get 1 months worth.

only temporarily. They work well to dehydrate the area but there are zero long term benefits. Once you get re-hydrated you will look the same.

If stuff like this really worked the way people who are selling them make it sound, they would be vastly more popular. I encourage a skeptical mindset with stuff like this. Don't be a sucker for all this, save your money for skin tightening procedures that will actually work (tucks)

All I can say is do your homework to make sure you decide for yourself. Take advice from those who have actually used them, whether the wraps have worked for them or not. I can honestly tell you from my own experience I have lost inches and they have not come back as well as my stomach used to look like an Arkansas road map and now you can't even find the scars from my surgery and my stretch marks are almost non-exsistant.

      Four days post surgery. I am sipping as fast as I can and getting NO WHERE near the goal of 60 - 80 grams of protein or the 64 oz of liquids. I just feel FULL. I don't know if it can still be the gas build up (I would think by now that would be gone) but it is a struggle to drink. And so far I have not had the nausea or spasms and don't want to wander into that territory by pushing too hard with liquids. I about passed out today as it was my most "strenuous" day. Went from second story to basement for shower and I was sure I was going to pass out. Looking back on my last few days I have had a total of less than 1000 calories. Am I just not getting enough nourishment in me? Once again a friday where I can't get ahold of the doc until Monday rolls back around so I am hoping maybe someone here has some experience on how to keep energy going. I do have fibromyalgia too and that may be where some added fatigue comes into play. How did you all fair with the goals the week after surgery?

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

      2. Selina333

        I'm in Houston so kind of near you and had the sleeve in Dec. Down 61 lbs. Feeling better. Was definitely worth it. I hope the everything is going well for you. Update us when you can!

        I am back home after my bypass surgery in Tiajuana. I'm post op day 4. Everything went great! I guess I'm one of the lucky ones who have not encountered much pain at all, no nausea thus far and I'm having no problem keeping down broths and water. Thank you for your well wishes. I cant wait to keep up this journey and have a chance at better health and simply better quality of life. I know there will be bumps in the road ahead, and everything won't be peaches and cream, but at least I have a great start so far. 😍

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

      2. Doughgurl

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜
