I used to do wraps whenever I was experiencing a plateau. I would go for a session once a month and noticed a visible difference not to mention it would end my weightloss stall. Now this was when I was working out religiously and really watching what I ate. So I know those had something to do with the great results.

Sure the wrap may not have been the root cause of my skin bouncing back, but it did help my skin look/feel much tighter, stopped my plateau, and even eliminated headaches (not sure why/how).

I posted on the pinned one on the other forum. Which this should just get deleted because the same posts are in that one! LOL! I was the first one to call BS, and I got the shut hell up bite back from the members. It is BS. If this stuff really worked we would know about it and we wouldn't have to ask what works. Advil takes the pain away...we know advil. The stupid skin tightening procedures would be like advil to us. My skin will never go back. I was fat when I was 15 in my thighs and that skin is the worst. That is 20 years of stretched skin with stretch marks. No wrap is going to fix that. Maybe some Lipo, but everything that might work is surgical in nature or just plain old surgery. It is like when people say the cold weather makes you sick. Bacteria and germs make you sick. Going out in the cold without a jacket does not make you sick.

Whats the harm in having a conversation? Not all people have the same skin damage as you. We are all adults that researched a serious operation to save our lives, I think we can handle a conversation about topical creams and wraps without causing a mass hysteria.

Not all of us experienced obesity at an early age, so our body/skin may bounce back better than others. That just like saying women shouldn't try to prevent stretch marks from pregnancy. Guess what those efforts have been proven to work. I have family and friends that have benefited from wraps, and lost weight with firmer skin! Some of it may be genetics, but hardworking and perseverance plays a huge part in all of us getting to where we want to be physically. With that being said, if isn't for you then participate in the threads that you believe in. I see things on here that I may not agree with, but I don't have all the answers to any subject. So I stay quiet, and keep the peace.

I have a wrap today it is a waste of $ 85 if you ask me. I didn't see no difference whatsoever or that good feeling you got after a massage. I rather go to my masseuse than having that expensive crap

It was at body by design: herbal contouring body wrap. Waste of money

Ok, do you have follow up with specifics amounts of Water for the next few days? If I'm asking too much, ignore me. I'm just comparing what I've heard from others.

Exactly, I just got my sleeve last week so I'm still recuperating. I am so looking forward to the upcoming months of skinnyville.

Because you sweat when they wrap you so it is only fair to drink Water to replace the Fluid loss.

Different type of wrap, thanks for answering.

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
