Loose Skin & Any feedback on the "It Works" body wrap product?



Recommended Posts

Hi all. So I'm down over 110 lbs. so far and every additional pound at this point is a blessing. But we're heading into summer and my 46 yr. old legs look like they belong to an 80+ year old women (no offence) and I live in my bathing suit in the summertime. I'm a good year out from considering plastic surgery solutions and I work out six days a week. So......... does anyone out there have any feedback on the wrap product called "It Works"? I've seen lots of people promoting it on Facebook, seems like it's all the rage, but also seems like a pyramid program too. I'm told it is for firming and toning loose skin, but I'm wondering if it would make a noticeable difference for those of us that have lost over 100 lbs. Any feedback on this product or non-surgical ways to combat the loose skin on thighs would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for any insight

Good question. I hope someone has some feedback.

Loose skin can't be removed except by surgery. Muscle underneath the skin can be toned and for some people, a year or so after the fat has gone, there does seem to be a small amount of "pull back". But if skin has been very stretched, over many years, it's stretched.

Creams, wraps, treatments which promise more are misleading.

Have seen and used 20+ years ago if it is the same"Saran Wrap" product. Then a sauna. Had temporary results but alas, no long term help.

Best of luck... And wear your bathing suit proudly... You have lost a lot!

When I was in college, I discovered aquatards. I lost a ton of weight when I began training and running. I was very trim and fit, but i had really bad sagging thighs. (I now have ballooned and fill them out... but alas)

Aquatards are awesome because you can wear your swimsuit, have no chafing, its like compression for your thighs, and a black suit with a cute tank or shirt, makes a nice outfit during the summer. I LIVED in mine. I still wear one because when we ski and tube, it keeps me from mooning people. lol

      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! 😞
