    I prefer to burn the roof of my mouth with pizza every few days.

    Agreed!!!

    So some people are so desperate that they will get surgery to torture themselves? That's awful and dumb.

    It's stuff like this that makes me think we really don't deserve the species and subspecies name "Homo sapiens sapiens"

    So these people are willing to drop cash to make themselves talk a like "derp" for weeks, but not willing to just sack-up and do the diet, for free? If they are that weak-willed they're just going to stuff themselves as soon as the patch is removed.

    If you do not open your mouth in the first place to put a ton of food in, you would not need surgery.:laugh:

    It's so sad that this exists and that people are desperate enough to voluntarily hurt themselves to lose weight.

    Seems there are a lot of people that have done these weight loss gimmicks,they look good after a couple of months with these items in place but I have seen a lot after a year that can be back to the starting weight or sometimes even larger.also I heard that sometimes when people lose large amounts of weight really quick its hard on the heart and other organs.I think the best way is to lo:happy: se naturally and gradually and the possibility of gaining it back is less likely as you remember the effort you put into it

    What are you supposed to say when people notice you have this giant piece of plastic in your mouth, people are just going to think you're a lunatic! Well actually you are if you get that done. I'd much rather endure the pain of restraining from eating more than 2 chocolate biscuits at a time then go through that.

    I lost weight just reading about that as it made me throw up a little!
    Seriously, that is so disturbing it sounds like something devised by Tom Six!

    Well, I burned the roof of my mouth right before Christmas and it really hurt to eat any food, including all the yummy treats :sad:

    So, I lost weight over the holidays but I wouldn't recommend it as a healthy weight loss method :noway:

    What needs to happen is that useless, money eating fake cheats need to stop being pushed at gullible people that are too weak willed to go about this the healthy way.

    Or Captain Crunch. That will skin the roof of my mouth any day.

    I havent touched Cap'n Crunch in years for this reason alone!

    As for the topic...they will come up with anything to make some money...as long as someone is stupid enough to buy into the idea they dont care. This is insane!

    Why is this so disturbing?

    If it works, isn't it cheaper, less invasive and more easily reversed than normal weight loss surgery?

    I'm not advocating any sort of surgery, but if I ended up in the position to think I needed WLS, I'd tend to go for the least expensive, least invasive, least prone to complications and most easily reversed solution (assuming that all options were similarly effective).

    And pain-wise, I would imagine that periodically irritating the top of your mouth is less painful overall than abdominal surgery.
