Has anyone tried them? Body wraps? And did they work for you. I want to give em a try for the extra skin I have.

Usually body wraps are only temporary. For instance, if you were attending a wedding and wanted to look extra good in your new dress, then yeah, go for it. The results typically last a few days (the wraps I'm familiar with anyway). The main way they work is they dehydrate your skin, leaving you smaller by having lost Water.

Now, maybe some sort of compressive, hydration wrap might help long term with the elasticity of skin?? Not sure about a different type, sorry.

Yah I know they do the dehydrating. And that was my main concern I'm mean since we are more prone to dehydrate a lot faster.

I used to do wraps before I did surgery. I liked how they worked...but at the time I was drinking over 100 oz of Water daily. They will dry you out. My results tended to last, however I was going regularly so that could be why it seemed they lasted a long time.

I suggest getting them sparingly when you have an event or need to drop water weight. But long term, it won't get rid of your excess skin.

      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.
