It works wraps? Anybody used them?

[fatrosie 176]

I've got a major fear of surgery and I have tattoos on my hips so I want to battle the loose skin as much as possible. I've heard tell of people who use these body wraps regularly starting right after surgery and try have very little to no sagging skin after their full loss(they also exercised of course). I'm wondering if anybody knows anything about this and has an opinion? Thanks!

Hi ,

Let me start off by saying I have not been sleeved yet but I will be Wednesday ! Sharing my experience . Prior to this surgery u have used everything in the book n my it works applicator wrap n the gel was one thing I also tried ! I do not look my weight my stomach is flat and Probly has a tiny little pouch . So me believing everything in the market I tried this . First of all they make u become a member to get the cheaper price with 3 months of automatic deduction from ur bank ( or u can also buy one time at a very expensive price ) then they sell u a little package pills that are "herbal" all natural a couple of things then the wraps and gel etc . When I received that wrap omg its like paper. It does not cover jack on your stomach its like for someone very skinny there is only one size . Also this is just like an illusion that u are smaller . Temp! We do this surgery to stay away from things like this (taking horse pills ) and my truthful advice would be to exercise. The. The best part they assign u a coach which is the person who is there to sell u product either over phone , and gets a cut of the money to sell u products and they usually never care. No support system nothing. I might even have a wrap or two left I can Prob send u so u can see for ur self I def have the pills also . Gross

Sagging skin will have a lot of variables to it. How old you are (the older you get, the less resilient skin is), how much weight you're going to lose (the more to lose, the more likely you'll sag), how long you've had the weight on, etc. Exercise will help. Some people swear by skin tightening cream and dry brushing to stimulate new cell growth.

From a tattooist's point of view, where your ink is located will have a lot to do with it. If you carried a lot of weight in your hips, then you may have some sagging issues. If your weight has fluctuated a lot post-tattoo, that will impact it as well. In much the same way that the older you get, the more the ink you got when you were younger changes, so it goes with weight gain and loss.
