    Oh, never mind. I looked it up and it has nothing to do with having your ears stick out. Maybe I could glue mine back. :laugh:

    No, it is a proceedure that comes from acupuncture. A small staple is placed in the inner cartlidge of the ear to put pressure on the pressure points to control hunger and stop smoking.

    Heard about it, but never knew anyone that tried it. I do know someone who did the Lasar treatment for smoking, and stopped for a year. I was thinking about lipo, but figured it would pretty much suck. :laugh:

    I did the ear staple 3 yrs ago. It is actually a staple placed in a certain part of the ear. Not the lobe, but that part in the center front that kinda covers the ear canal. lol, I wish I knew what it was called. It felt like I was getting my ears pierced. It didn't work for me and I had a hard time getting it out.

    Peace Out!!
