If you do the right ones they will. A lot of them just reduce Water weight. I use the ones from It Works! Global called the Ultimate Body Applicator and I love them. I have lost 170 lbs so far and I've got barely any hanging skin. My stretch marks are very light as well and my scars from the surgery are almost completely gone. I used the products for 4 months and loved them so much I became a consultant. If you would like more info on them please let me know because they really do work great and I'm hoping I don't need to do any skin removal.

These wraps won't dehydrate you, they actually want you to drink Water while they are on. Go to my website and read about the Ultimate Body Applicators. They are awesome! I just had 3 people ask me to wrap them today.

I also take the Vitals for my Vitamin, they dissolve in 2 minutes so they are fully absorbed, and I take the Greens. that gives you all your nutrients from fruits and veggies plus it helps fight cancer by alkalizing your body, because cancer is found to grow in people who are more acidic. They have a lot of great products, so check it out and let me know what you think.

My consultant ID is 140553 and my name is Ruth Pringle. I'll have to see if I can post some pictures of results with people I've wrapped. I should of taken pictures of my stomach from when I started wrapping until now, but I didn't :wacko: So just let me know what you think!

Would you recommend the defining gel?

Yes! I use that on spots in between wraps and also in spots that really can't be wrapped (like "the twins") to help keep them from getting too saggy. It's the same formula as in the wraps just not as potent.

I want to try the wrsps but embarrassed to have someone see my fat. Can I do it by myself ? If so where do I buy a kit and how expensive?

You can wrap yourself. Practice wrapping your target area with just plastic wrap to get the hang of it. You want to make it very tight to hold the wrap in place. It took me some practice before I could get it tight, but at 450 lbs I was able to wrap myself. You can buy them right off the website and there is also am instructional video on how to wrap. The price will depend on if you do the autoship (which I recommend because you get lots of benefits!) or just buy them straight out.

How often should you use the global wraps? I'm getting my surgery next Tuesday. How long should I wait until I start using them?

I would wait to start using them until your scars are healed over and you can start washing the areas safely without causing harm. The wraps can be used once every 72 hours. I suggest using one a week, that way with the 4 pack, you get 1 months worth.

only temporarily. They work well to dehydrate the area but there are zero long term benefits. Once you get re-hydrated you will look the same.

If stuff like this really worked the way people who are selling them make it sound, they would be vastly more popular. I encourage a skeptical mindset with stuff like this. Don't be a sucker for all this, save your money for skin tightening procedures that will actually work (tucks)

All I can say is do your homework to make sure you decide for yourself. Take advice from those who have actually used them, whether the wraps have worked for them or not. I can honestly tell you from my own experience I have lost inches and they have not come back as well as my stomach used to look like an Arkansas road map and now you can't even find the scars from my surgery and my stretch marks are almost non-exsistant.

      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.
