Recommended Posts

Hello, I was banded in January 2010 I have lost over 80 pounds I am now doing body wraps. To make my stomach flat to get the loose skin to shrink please check out my website sanjasebodywrapups.itworks.com for life after the wonderful lap band. The lap band is the best decision I have made in my life.

You are one of many people trying to make money off us by selling this stuff. It's getting really old.

Fact: All of these wraps work one of two ways: Diuretics or thermogentics. Sometimes a combination of both. The ingredients in the particular one you're selling contain diuretics as well as a plant used for hemorrhoids.

The "active ingredients" (they like to call them herbs) in these wraps:

Horse Chestnut Seed Extract- used to treat hemorrhoids

Horsetail Leaf/Stem Extract- diuretic

Butchers Broom Root Extract- diuretic and laxative

Rosmarinus or Rosemary Leaf Oil- diuretic

You may have minor results but being as they're based on diuretics, they will be temporary. When you stop using these things the volume will return because the moisture returns. These wraps are nothing more than an over-priced temporary fix.

If you want to use them for the rest of your life, wonderful. That's your choice. But, others deserve to know the truth before spending their money on a gimmick.

Yes I have heard the same Missy, that they are great if you are prepping for a wedding or something but at 65 a month or whatever it is it's just not realistic in my oppinion. I'm just going to keep running and hold out for my Tummy Tuck in a year or two!

its just Water weight that is (lost) if any....very much like a liquid diet...amazes me how people just think all fat/obese people will fall for the easy/quick fixes....and yes they do...desperate to lose weight we are..

yep i had WLS...i could hardly walk or wipe my a**ss..not proud of that but it gave me life back....i eat better foods, exercise and let the band tell me when (and use my common sense and dr advised allotment size).

if i want to sweat, i will go lay in sun

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
