I haven't tried it either. And in no way am I knocking this product ..but my rule of thumb has always been if it sounds to good to be true.... It probably is.

Of course for $2 it may be worth a shot. Just make sure there are. NO strings attached.

Missy, That is good to know! Thank you.

I have had skin fold dermatitis for a couple of years. I generally treat it with hydrogen peroxide followed by alcohol to dry it. Stings like crazy, but keeps it clean and helps it heal. I am way too early to check into skin removal, but if I can get THAT part of this journey covered by insurance, that will be SWEET!

I agree... talk to your doc, you may get insurance to pay for skin tightening.

I am going through the process of getting the lap band surgery so I don't have any post op experience to give.

I ordered the free sample and was impressed. There is a learning curve on cutting the strips to meet your body's needs. However, even after one day I found improvement and so have ordered two boxes since then. I think they are kind of pricey. With shipping and handling it comes to about $36 a box. They say you can reuse a strip up to five times or as needed. The longest I've use one strip is twice. I think the box has a strip of 10 inches wide and 30 inches long.

I've used it for the skin-on-skin in the overhang of skin on the belly.

I've never used the product myself because I've never experienced any problems with my skin. But I work in a care facility and we often use it on some of our residents who seem to have irritated skin under there breasts/groins/ tummy folds and such. It's like a miracle! I would consult your doctor first incase there's an infection of some sort, but it really does bring a lot of relief and helps heal from my experiences at work with it! :)

I am a RN and we use it in the hospital it really helps and one cloth should last a week I believe. It can be washed. I agree see your dr first in case there is an infection. Then use it.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
