WASHINGTON » A new weight loss device offers a novel approach to cutting calories: draining them from the stomach before they are digested.
The AspireAssist system consists of a thin tube implanted in the stomach, connecting to an outside port on the skin of the belly. About 30 minutes after finishing a meal, users connect the port to an external device, which drains some of the recently-consumed food into the toilet.
The manufacturer says its system removes about 30 percent of food stored in the stomach before it begins causing weight gain.
It’s the latest in a series of new options for millions of obese Americans who have been unable to lose weight via more traditional methods. About 38 percent of all U.S. adults are obese.
How disgusting. Even though I need to lose weight, I would never allow such a device. It makes you a basket case and risks infection.
Just eat less and eat the right foods.
I thought this method was called Bulimia? Blahhhhck!
