Tongue patch surgery

Just read an article on a procedure called "tongue patch surgery". Basically they sew a surgical mesh onto your tongue which makes it physically painful to eat and in no time, POOF, you're a supermodel with a BMI of 16. I'm not joking. Seriously, look this up. This is the most bat-sh** crazy thing I think I've ever heard of in the name of a weight loss quick-fix. The person they discussed in the article wanted to lose 20 pounds so she would look great in a bikini on her Hawaii vacation in 30 days. Because, I'm sure watching her calories and doing a little exercise instead would be out of the question. I'm sorry, but, no... that is just lunacy. Anyone else see this?

    Lunacy yes. Just get a tongue pierce, lol.

    Seriously, this was invented for people with no self control, who make no lasting changes and will have no good lasting effects.

    You're right - batsh** crazy and won't last.
