    DUDE.

    Or as Super Grover from Sesame Street would say: "HUBBA-WHA?!" (sorry, can't resist, he cracks me up)

    I'm thinking the SEWING IT TO YOUR TONGUE part would be painful enough. I wouldn't even want to eat. *Head-desk*

    seems reasonable. not for the average person. but lap band and gastric bypass are more invasive and force you to be on a liquid diet. maybe for those types of patients who have 100+ pounds to lose, this would be an option. i bet recovery is faser, the procedure is cheaper and it can be reversed easier than gastric and lapband.

    Soooo... let me get this straight.. No working out and no dieting wanted, so they sew a patch on their tongue?

    Yea, next thing you know they will be putting that steak in the blender... then what? :sick:

    I have been waiting to hear what this was. I assumed it was like numbing strips to kill taste for periods of time, this just sounds... Stupid.

    Thanks for posting!

    Holy cow! One word: OUCH! It is crazy what some people will do to lose weight the unhealthy way. I'm glad that's not the way of us, MFPers.
