It works body wraps

Have any of you heard of them? They are popular around my area here in North Carolina

Talking with others I've heard that they pull water out of your body to shave off inches. I have seen that they do work from my friends using them.

Would those even be safe for someone who had RNY?

I used to sell them and they don't make you lose water weight. What they do it apply it to your stomach or any other area and the gel on the wrap actually breaks down and dissolves your fat cells. You drink water the entire time that you have the wrap on and afterwards and by drinking water it causes you to use the bathroom. The more you pee the more of the broken down fat cells you are flushing out!

And I don't see why it wouldn't be safe to use, they are all natural!

I had to go look them up. So if I have it right, it's a wrap that helps you lose weight. Did I miss anything?
It seems a waste of money to lose a bit of water weight to me. I am not criticizing you: I am a skeptical old broad and tight with a dime. I would buy shapewear instead

I used them before and they work awesome. Also I used to sell them and as stated above they break down fat cells and flush them out. It will help tighten skin.

Exactly how can a wrap, even if it has some kind of cream or lotion or infused chemical, break down internal fat cells and "flush them out"??  There is nothing that is going to break down fat cells and somehow magically send the fat into your digestive system to get "flushed out".  When you lose weight, it doesn't get flushed from your body, your body burns the fat for fuel.  

I don't mean this to sound snarky, but if these wraps really worked and you were selling them, why did you need to have WLS?

Which one??  LOL

The more I think about this, the more ironic (leaning towards amusing) I find it that someone who sold these wraps and claims that they really worked would have had WLS.
