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

      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.
