    Wow this almost sounds like the "mickey" my niece has but she has cerebral palsy and cannot eat herself so that is how she gets fed. She is 11 I can't imagine anyone having the choice would l want anything similar. Sickening!!

    Yuck!

    It's amazing that people will do these crazy things ( tapeworms?!) but then won't try simple things like getting enough rest and staying hydrated.

    Is this like a cosmetic g-tube surgery? I thought those were only reserved for the very ill. My son had one because he couldn't eat. They are meant to feed the person, not drain them! That's just horrible!

    My son had a G tube as well and I thought the same thing.

    FWIW there is some DRs office somewhere that places NG tubes in grown adults for the sole purpose of the patient losing weight.

    It was a HUGE topic on a Ped. GERD site I help moderate.

    What type of Chinese food?


    This is gross thou. Why bother eating if you are going to let the food out before it is digested.

    I heard about that one. They said on the radio that during testing Cauliflower would stop it up so that was one they were told not to eat. Potatoes would do the same thing. Imagine that - a device that doesn't let you eat healthy because the tube gets plugged up. Ick.

    Bulimia for the lazy.

    That was my first thought, too.

    Demonstration of the aspire assist aspiration therapy system. These doesn't seem like something you should be doing

    So there are people dying every matter of seconds from starvation, and now people are gonna drain food out of their stomachs, that they have just eaten, to avoid gaining weight.
    What a waste!!!

    Wouldn't being anorexic be easier and cheaper?

    Not true. G-tubes are often used for draining. For people with severe GI problems a g-tube can be used to pump contents out of the stomach to prevent damage to the esophagus from prolonged or frequent vomiting.

    G-tubes are also not very prone to infection.

    I'm certainly not promoting this weight loss idea, but I don't see how pumping the food out is any more wasteful than overeating in the first place. Whether you digest it or pump it, the food is still wasted.
