    Anorexia/Bulemia without the tooth decay from acid erosion caused by repeated vomiting. Wow. (sarcasm font inserted here) Sounds like a great idea.
    that and could cause serious electrolyte and fluid imbalance,what they were thinking!!

    Yea, I think I will keep doing what I am doing. Much less gross, and cheaper. Eat enough, excercise enough, and laugh enough. thats all it takes.

    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:

    "Actual results may vary"

    :drinker: Thanks for the disclaimer. ::laugh:

    I haven't read through all the comments, but isn't this just bulimia? The same thing can be accomplished for a lot cheaper by sticking your finger down your throat.

    People in our society want everything for nothing. No one wants to put in the hard work it takes to be successful anymore.

    What doctor would actually install this in someone?







    *Rhetorical question.

    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

    Well maybe she will be like my mother, her 1st gastric by pass she had me stop at the store on the way home from the hospital, get me some of those little butter nut bites in a box, and a big bottle of coke.,... Hmmm now why didnt that work? it was so painful I just dont understand why it didnt work she said. Forward 20 yrs, her 2nd gastric by pass, she followed all the directions and lost 240 lbs IN ONE YEAR. OMG why do I have all this skin hanging, I have to roll my boobs up to get them in my bra!!!! I think I will pull all my teeth out, since they are falling out one by one, oh I cant wear dentures, I have no jaw bones to hold them in. OMG I went from looking 20 yrs younger to looking like a hag over night. I know Im nearly 70 but I am saving the money for skin removal, tummy and butt tuck, and a boob job. What, if I would have walked or done minor excercise while i was loosing weight that first year, I would have all these issues.... Nah.... Finally, wtf, you put our 4 generation picture on fb, I looke like a hag, get out of my life. lol

    I think I will take the healthy way, so I dont end up looking like a hag, skin hanging, and rolling my boobs into my bra. hahaha. as far as telling people to get out of my life, because of choices i have made, I dont think that is a side effect of surgery, maybe a head injury? lol

    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.

    The long term risks of this stomach pump are probably just as bad as bulemia.

    Yeah. It's totally better than working toward your goals and feeling good about yourself. :noway:

    No one likes working toward goals anymore. Everyone wants results/success with the least amount of effort put in, regardless of how crazy it sounds.

    ^^^This^^^ It's all about instant gratification.

    In other words a surgical eating disorder.
    EXACTLY! It's appalling that any dr. would approve this.......

    The easy way to do this exact same thing? Chew it up and spit it out before swallowing.

    It probably would be because only those with eating disorders are likely to have it installed. But from the OP it sounds very similar to a g-tube. If that is true, then this method could be used safely. Many people live with a g-tube.

    I've maintained a healthy weight now for 14 years. Went from plus size to a size 6. Its not that hard. I exercise daily and eat healthy. Thats it! Eat less, move more.

    The fact that the lapband is a foreign object in your stomach that isn't meant to be removed is creepy enough.

    Who could possibly be of sound peace and mind knowing there's a vaccuum in their stomach with the potential to malfunction at any time?!?!

    This is great, I can eat and then feed my birds. I'll save a ton of $.

    The possibilities are endless. Drink a bit too much? No worries, just let it out and go back for another round. Pacing yourself is now a thing of the past. I love technology.
