A friend of mine that had the RNY told me to get some once I was in my maintenance phase. She said that it really did help. Mind you, she still has some sagging skin, but she told me that it made a big difference.

Think.  How can it work?  What is the science behind it?  Your skin is not going anywhere unless you cut it off.  I hate to be so blunt, but everything else is just a pipe dream.  The only thing you can do is lift weights to build the muscle underneath, that and eat protein to build that muscle.  Other than that, nothing really works.  There are many gimmicks out there, this is just one more.

They actually do help. I did them on my arms and belly. I saw a more dramatic improvement on my arms. It's not plastic surgery good but it was significant enough that I could see it in the mirror. It may not be permanent but this entire weeki have noticed that my bat wings are much smaller.

I'm not sure about the specific wrap you are referring to but plastic surgeons do have patients wear compression garnets during recovery. If it is a medical grade garnet the compression increases blood flow to the area and that increased blood flow speeds the removal of wastes. So does that help contour the body with weight loss? I don't see any studies showing it but some people swear by it.

I think it works  SOME with elasticity but only when you first start loosing. Just as there are firming creams that help SOME with firming, this too may help. But it's all dependent on your own biology and once you've lost the weight and have the sagging skin, then I don't see how it could work. For the cost and the results I'm not sure it's worth it.

I did one on my arms (cut in half) and I did notice a few inches down. I think you have to keep doing it though and I wasn't willing to get into the auto ship for those.

I do use the greens on the go packets mixed with crystal light orange sunrise (instead of orange juice). I do like those, not for the taste, but for the nutrition and convenience.
