Loose Skin & Any feedback on the "It Works" body wrap product?



Recommended Posts

Hi all. So I'm down over 110 lbs. so far and every additional pound at this point is a blessing. But we're heading into summer and my 46 yr. old legs look like they belong to an 80+ year old women (no offence) and I live in my bathing suit in the summertime. I'm a good year out from considering plastic surgery solutions and I work out six days a week. So......... does anyone out there have any feedback on the wrap product called "It Works"? I've seen lots of people promoting it on Facebook, seems like it's all the rage, but also seems like a pyramid program too. I'm told it is for firming and toning loose skin, but I'm wondering if it would make a noticeable difference for those of us that have lost over 100 lbs. Any feedback on this product or non-surgical ways to combat the loose skin on thighs would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for any insight

Loose skin can't be removed except by surgery. Muscle underneath the skin can be toned and for some people, a year or so after the fat has gone, there does seem to be a small amount of "pull back". But if skin has been very stretched, over many years, it's stretched.

Creams, wraps, treatments which promise more are misleading.

Have seen and used 20+ years ago if it is the same"Saran Wrap" product. Then a sauna. Had temporary results but alas, no long term help.

Best of luck... And wear your bathing suit proudly... You have lost a lot!

When I was in college, I discovered aquatards. I lost a ton of weight when I began training and running. I was very trim and fit, but i had really bad sagging thighs. (I now have ballooned and fill them out... but alas)

Aquatards are awesome because you can wear your swimsuit, have no chafing, its like compression for your thighs, and a black suit with a cute tank or shirt, makes a nice outfit during the summer. I LIVED in mine. I still wear one because when we ski and tube, it keeps me from mooning people. lol

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
