    GOD & there's me thinking a mouth ulcer is hard to bare.
  • That is the one of the stupidest things I've heard. People need to realize there is no shortcuts to success.

    Why is this so disturbing?

    If it works, isn't it cheaper, less invasive and more easily reversed than normal weight loss surgery?

    I'm not advocating any sort of surgery, but if I ended up in the position to think I needed WLS, I'd tend to go for the least expensive, least invasive, least prone to complications and most easily reversed solution (assuming that all options were similarly effective).

    And pain-wise, I would imagine that periodically irritating the top of your mouth is less painful overall than abdominal surgery.

    Ha! Thats like saying well do i want someone to kill me by slicing me up with a knife 20 times, or slowly stabbing me with a pointy tool 20 times :)

    I asked my mom once as a kid why people don't just get their taste buds burnt off if they want to lose weight because who would want to eat if they can't taste.

    She got me a shrink.

    Um, no.

    Look I don't know about the weight loss, my main concern is how it will effect oral sex.

    That actually makes me feel sick. I had my wisdom teeth out a few years ago, kind of had the same effect! I still managed to eat some ice cream though, although I had to leave the chocolate fish from my Phish food in the bowl as I couldn't manage them!

    Haha, figures. This doctor's offices are in California....

    To our profound horror and dismay, the good folk of CA are moving to Texas in droves. :yawn:

    God help us! I am envisioning another Civil War limited to one state. :explode:
