What type of wraps?

Here ya go. They can help with the pain when traveling right after surgery and I understand they help the skin to shrink back as you loose. I am pre-op, just some things I have read on this forum and obesity help forum.
Ezywrap - Bariatric Abdominal Binders

Dreaming, I am going to use a compression wrap and some scar gel. This gel sounds pretty good, but still researching since I have more time. A friend who had heart bypass told me it works pretty well.
Kelo-cote Scar Gel is a silicone scar gel that is designed to reduce the appearance of scars resulting from different plastic surgery procedures. Kelo-cote scar gel is the only scar gel of its kind that has been clinically proven to help treat scars.

Well,definelty wearing a compressing garment while losing i think would help keep your body tight,but i was referring to body wraps they offer at Spa's.An example is www.suddenlyslender.com they franchise there products out to different spa's, and i know the solution they use is legit,(but expensive as hell!) but most spa's offer body wraps and they say it really helps after a weight loss.

Thanks for the info. I am going to order one too. How long after the surgery shculd I wait to put it on??? (Sore, etc...????)

I've heard of these and knew they could compress fat cells--never knew they tightened skin. I might have to make this a habit for the bat wings I know are coming.
