Question:
Expense of Body wrap vs.results/ opinions from those whove tried it.

Hi folks, I just called a place that advertises locally that you can loose the inches with their wrap and not get them back. Is that possible? Do you think it's bascially a dehydrating technique that gives you immediate results, only to have the water/inches back in a few days? This place is expensive and she tried to high pressure me into it. It is 4 hours at 200.00. I just bailed out of reconstructive surgery (having self worth issues...won't go into it here) and was thinking something like this could either help me with my image or p*ss me off?? I hear them on the radio and they do have a website apamperedtouch.com It does sound enticing. I just began weight training about a week ago on my home gym (Total Gym 2000) ...I've already been walking 2-3 miles a day, a pretty good pace, 5-6 days a week for almost 2 years now...I'm ready to start toning. I was just wondering if this is a good idea from those whove undergone wraps. I'm over 2 years post and down to about 135. I do have baggy skin (even had insurance approval for the tummy part of the reconstruction)...but in tight jeans you can't tell.LoL. Thank you!! -Kim open RNY 7/17/01 282/135/125    — KimBo36 (posted on September 10, 2003)

dont do it!! those body wraps are a rip off. they only work because the compress the cellulite.you get the inches back in a few days.i had it done i lose 17 inches and it came back. spend your money on some nice clothes instead. or even a massage and body treatment, thats worth the money!

If a miracle like this existed, everyone in the world would be thin. If any diet pill, machine, hypnosis, "shake", herb etc worked - everyone would be thin. It's time for people of the world to stop considering diet promise fairy tales. Now I do have a really nice Bridge located near Brooklyn available... My best regards -

I've done it for a special occassion. It's temporary and the inches return within the week.

I just went to the website and I don't see anyplace where they advertise that it is a permanent loss of inches. All I saw were people who lost XX inches on their first wrap and after 4 wraps had lost xx inches. Sounds like you have to do it on a regular basis if you don't want the inches back.

Everyone here pretty much summed it up...don't waste your money. Read my profile...I have a little explanation about how silly these wraps are. They are not fun and they don't work~! Best of luck. Denise 280/175/150

Thanks all for the great words of wisdom. I will invest my money in cloths like suggested (good support underwear!). It's actually the radio promo that boasts it's permanent, but when I actually called and chatted, she refered to the "maintanance" and wouldn't give me a straight answer on price. I will skip this one, Thanks again folks. -Kim
