I used to do wraps whenever I was experiencing a plateau. I would go for a session once a month and noticed a visible difference not to mention it would end my weightloss stall. Now this was when I was working out religiously and really watching what I ate. So I know those had something to do with the great results.

Sure the wrap may not have been the root cause of my skin bouncing back, but it did help my skin look/feel much tighter, stopped my plateau, and even eliminated headaches (not sure why/how).

I posted on the pinned one on the other forum. Which this should just get deleted because the same posts are in that one! LOL! I was the first one to call BS, and I got the shut hell up bite back from the members. It is BS. If this stuff really worked we would know about it and we wouldn't have to ask what works. Advil takes the pain away...we know advil. The stupid skin tightening procedures would be like advil to us. My skin will never go back. I was fat when I was 15 in my thighs and that skin is the worst. That is 20 years of stretched skin with stretch marks. No wrap is going to fix that. Maybe some Lipo, but everything that might work is surgical in nature or just plain old surgery. It is like when people say the cold weather makes you sick. Bacteria and germs make you sick. Going out in the cold without a jacket does not make you sick.

Whats the harm in having a conversation? Not all people have the same skin damage as you. We are all adults that researched a serious operation to save our lives, I think we can handle a conversation about topical creams and wraps without causing a mass hysteria.

Not all of us experienced obesity at an early age, so our body/skin may bounce back better than others. That just like saying women shouldn't try to prevent stretch marks from pregnancy. Guess what those efforts have been proven to work. I have family and friends that have benefited from wraps, and lost weight with firmer skin! Some of it may be genetics, but hardworking and perseverance plays a huge part in all of us getting to where we want to be physically. With that being said, if isn't for you then participate in the threads that you believe in. I see things on here that I may not agree with, but I don't have all the answers to any subject. So I stay quiet, and keep the peace.

I have a wrap today it is a waste of $ 85 if you ask me. I didn't see no difference whatsoever or that good feeling you got after a massage. I rather go to my masseuse than having that expensive crap

It was at body by design: herbal contouring body wrap. Waste of money

Ok, do you have follow up with specifics amounts of Water for the next few days? If I'm asking too much, ignore me. I'm just comparing what I've heard from others.

Exactly, I just got my sleeve last week so I'm still recuperating. I am so looking forward to the upcoming months of skinnyville.

Because you sweat when they wrap you so it is only fair to drink Water to replace the Fluid loss.

Different type of wrap, thanks for answering.

      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.
