    That's just another method of bulimia in my maybe not-so-humble opinion. Dean Kamen is better than that. He's done a lot of things for medical science (not just the Segway). It amazes me. People have lost all sense of right and wrong any more and depend on outside things to fix all in their lives that they don't have enough brains and will-power to do on their own.

    You can have the same effect if you just vomited after eating and save tons of money. These capitalist who invent **** like this are targeting those people who already have eating disorders of one type or another. Way to make money and keep everyone unhealthy.

    What is so "new" about this invention? It sounds like a typical gastrostomy tube (g-tube) which has been used for people with severe GI issues for many years.

    This is so disturbing and sick. Why the heck would people want to do something like this?? so they can sit on the couch, eat all day and watch t.v and still lose weight. 1-2 lbs per week?? Eat right and be a bit mobile and BAAMM you will lose that without this horrific procedure and lifestyle.. Oh my goodness...

    Vomiting is so much easier and cheaper with the same side effects both positive (thinness) and negative (nutirion deficiencies, damage to your body physically etc.)


    PS: I don’t advocate either fyi but thanks for sharing such a strange invention.

    I was thinking this! Puking is free. If I REALLY wanted to binge and purge, why would I pay thousands of dollars to do it this way? I'm not saying that it's okay eat and throw up. I'm just saying that eating and throwing up basically does what this procedure does. Just w/o spending all the money.

    Seriously, anyone who thinks this procedure is a good idea needs help.

    It reminds me of a "reverse" feeding tube. So many people have feeding tubes because they really need the food and nutrients and are not able to get it otherwise. However, using this mechanism to expel food OUT of your stomach to lose weight ... completely f&*#ed up. :noway:

    It wouldn't be the same as vomiting. Vomiting habitually or routinely is very damaging to the esophagus. One of the biggest risks of bulimia is stomach bile eating through the esophagus, which can be deadly.

    Feeding tubes can be used to pump food in and/or out of the stomach.

    I think this device is terrible for the future of humanity. However, I secretly wish I had invented it. That guy's gonna be rich! :)

    I always laugh at the, "The makers say their method should be combined with healthier food choices, exercise, and smaller portions to achieve lasting weight lost" in every weight loss invention/pill.

    If you combine healthier food choices, exercise and smaller portions then can't a vast majority of people lose weight on their own with lasting weight loss and lose 1-2 lbs a week? :huh:
  • mmm that sounds hot...Great meal grandma mind if I sit on your couch and extract it all from my gut :) Wouldn"t be less work and less gross to just eat a smaller portion and work out....

    Well, I thought that the "diet fork" shown at the CES was the dumbest weight loss thing I had heard this week but it now looks ingenious in comparison!

    Just think of all of the uses for this!
    Save on dental bills by getting around that nasty acid build up on your teeth from vomiting!
    Get your money's worth at every Casino buffet in Vegas!
    100 shots in 100 minutes without having to stop to "break the seal"!
    Give a whole new meaning to the classic childhood term "see-food"!
    Maybe start composting the "leftovers"?

    :noway:
  • Maybe they can find a better way to poop for us too. Cause I'm WAY over that unpleasantness as well. :bigsmile:

    This is just wrong! I am all for a person making their own choices for their bodies. It is not for me to judge anyone for doing something that will lead to the benefit of their health. That being said, yes I was (and still am) upset at my mother for doing the bypass. Not because she did it, because she didn't really put in any real effort to lose weight the natural way. She felt that she should be able to eat as she was (and still does now that she is beyond the harsher restrictions leading to and directly following), and be able to lose weight not changing anything about her life. She was led to believe this surgery would cure her diabetes. ANYWAY, I digress. If a procedure is medically required, then take the least invasive route, but to pump your own stomach... I am not sure there is much of a difference between this contraption and the acts of a person suffering from Bulemia Nervosa. The benefit to this being no possible loss of teeth
