Recommended Posts

Hello, I was banded in January 2010 I have lost over 80 pounds I am now doing body wraps. To make my stomach flat to get the loose skin to shrink please check out my website sanjasebodywrapups.itworks.com for life after the wonderful lap band. The lap band is the best decision I have made in my life.

You are one of many people trying to make money off us by selling this stuff. It's getting really old.

Fact: All of these wraps work one of two ways: Diuretics or thermogentics. Sometimes a combination of both. The ingredients in the particular one you're selling contain diuretics as well as a plant used for hemorrhoids.

The "active ingredients" (they like to call them herbs) in these wraps:

Horse Chestnut Seed Extract- used to treat hemorrhoids

Horsetail Leaf/Stem Extract- diuretic

Butchers Broom Root Extract- diuretic and laxative

Rosmarinus or Rosemary Leaf Oil- diuretic

You may have minor results but being as they're based on diuretics, they will be temporary. When you stop using these things the volume will return because the moisture returns. These wraps are nothing more than an over-priced temporary fix.

If you want to use them for the rest of your life, wonderful. That's your choice. But, others deserve to know the truth before spending their money on a gimmick.

Yes I have heard the same Missy, that they are great if you are prepping for a wedding or something but at 65 a month or whatever it is it's just not realistic in my oppinion. I'm just going to keep running and hold out for my Tummy Tuck in a year or two!

its just Water weight that is (lost) if any....very much like a liquid diet...amazes me how people just think all fat/obese people will fall for the easy/quick fixes....and yes they do...desperate to lose weight we are..

yep i had WLS...i could hardly walk or wipe my a**ss..not proud of that but it gave me life back....i eat better foods, exercise and let the band tell me when (and use my common sense and dr advised allotment size).

if i want to sweat, i will go lay in sun

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
