    The makers say their method should be combined with healthier food choices, exercise, and smaller portions to achieve lasting weight loss.

    OR you could just go with the healthier food choices, exercise, and smaller portions. Genius.

    Ugh, I feel sick now. Gastric Bypass is bad enough, but I would NEVER try this. :noway:

    OK, so not only disgusting, but soooooo wrong. Screwing around with the stomach like that would not only be unhealthy, it is an open port for any number of our "super infections" to get into the body, like MRSA... that we've all heard of. Then there is the electrolyte imbalance this would cause. You mess with sodium, potassium, calcium, and magnesium then you mess around with heart conduction and you go into arrythmias, possible/probable heart attack and/or death. Sure... that's worth a few pounds lost??? Doncha think????? :explode:

    Eeeeeew, wrong on so very many levels one of which is, how does your body have a chance to process the nutrients of the food. Surely you would actually starve to death as you're not getting any nutrients???

    We need to build the Matrix with an "all you can eat" program so these people can volunteer to live in it. It could get them out of the way of people who actually do things, and solve the energy crisis at the same time.

    Here's a thought -- if you're supposedly going to drain off 1/3 of the calories you just ate, why don't you just eat 1/3 LESS calories to begin with?? Seems easier and simpler, less intrusive and a bunch of unmentionable things!!

    I tell these lazy "I want results now" people if I can loose 55 kg, anyone can. I don't exactly have the highest self esteem, felt like giving up way too many times and have club feet which limited what I can do but yeah, we don't need these fix quick solutions. Anyone can loose weight.

    People with these things could put the "all you can eat" places out of business. Eat boat loads of food then take a trip to the bathroom to empty out then eat more etc. etc. Wonder if they'll start searching people to see if they have one implanted first before allowing them to eat?

    ... it is an open port for any number of our "super infections" to get into the body...

    After "disgusting" and "surgical bulimia" this ^^^ was my next thought. Why in the world would anyone take on the risks here? What ethical practitioner would perform such a procedure for someone seeking solely to lose weight? Ulceration and infection of the port site and in a major organ? Does anyone really believe that a person who would seek this out as a weight-loss method will have the commitment to care for such a port appropriately? The horror....

    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!

    I guess jamming your finger down your throat just became a bit too complicated for some.
