Interesting. Is there any scientific explanation or is it all anecdotal?

My PCP wrote about them.in his last newsletter. He said they contain caffeine and basically suck Water out through the skin and it is temporary (results last a few days) and unless you keep using the results do not last. Regardless of what anyone says. Temporary.

Basically a waste of money unless you need a quick fix for a reunion or something superficial.

I'd rather just wear a girdle. I started at 365, there's no wrap in existance that's gonna tuck that skin in.

Right? I could wrap my gut in saran wrap and wear some Spanx for less...same result.

To each his own.

I was skeptical too until I saw someone with amazing results. And just like weight loss surgery it's a tool. Without maintenance (such as diet and exercise) you will go back to the way you were.

Can you explain how it works?

What does it do exactly?

It's a wrap of either cloth or seran wrap type material that has usually herbs or minerals on it that's supposed to help 'breakdown' the fat cells under the skin by detoxifying you. Essentially though, it just rids you of excess Water, so you will see results (tighter skin and a loss of inches) but it's certainly only temporary. It should last a few days, maybe even a week or so but it's not going to permanently get rid of those inches. It's more like a spray tan, looks good for awhile but fades away unless you continually have it done.

      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!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
