Kapoorvilla 117 Posted January 9, 2013 Not!! Read this story of the personal stomach pump! http://www.foxnews.com/health/2013/01/09/extreme-weight-loss-new-personal-stomach-pump-sucks-food-straight-out-stomach/?test=latestnews I think this shows the patience health is less important to researchers than the patients desires. Give them what they will pay for: A way to eat more without the consequence. I hope this never makes it out of the FDA it seems like a medical stamp of approval to an eating disorde!

traceyc 89 Posted January 9, 2013 Wow, that thing looks so bizarre. It may also have a secondary effect of not wanting to eat after seeing half digested food several times a day. I don't want to judge too much as not every way to lose weight is right for every person, but this one feels more like an eating disorder to me (binge and purge).

MOMW 71 Posted January 9, 2013 Wow that is wrong in so many ways! I especially liked how they call gastric surgery a quick fix. Obviously they did no research. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Butterthebean 8,146 Posted January 9, 2013 I think they should just go back to wiring people's jaws shut before they do this. 1 Wolfgirl1978 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lessofmeismore 1,405 Posted January 9, 2013 Can you imagine the complications from walking around with that thing and constantly sucking food out of your stomache. I think food getting stuck is probably the least of the concerns they should have... Blah Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Babysteppin 165 Posted January 9, 2013 Wow. Looks like a 'bulimia device' to me. Great way to foster an eating disorder! Let's hope this thing never makes it off the cutting room floor. 1 Kapoorvilla reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kpaige77 49 Posted January 9, 2013 Wow that is wrong in so many ways! I especially liked how they call gastric surgery a quick fix. Obviously they did no research. I was just about to mention that "quick fix" comment and then I saw you caught it too! I had two people tell me similar things (taking the easy road, going for the quick fix). I stopped talking to them about my journey. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gettinMeBack 380 Posted January 9, 2013 Wow! I can't even begin to imagine the problems that this wud cause. That's scary and I hope they are not approving this. That wouldn't help you make a life change either. It's almost similar to the lap band because of the port they place under the skin Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using VST Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
*Dean* 1,594 Posted January 10, 2013 I was just about to mention that "quick fix" comment and then I saw you caught it too! I had two people tell me similar things (taking the easy road, going for the quick fix). I stopped talking to them about my journey. I cut their knees out from under them. My standard response is "I'd hardly call 25 years of dieting, losing and gaining weight to the point that I had life threatening surgery a quick fix". I've only had to use it once.

Robyn Owens-Miille 132 Posted January 10, 2013 There are major complications with sucking digestive juices out of the stomach. Namely, it screws your electrolyte balance up something fierce. And food isn't liquified fully in the stomach. We've all puked back up undigested food even before our surgeries. And lets not deal with the emotional/psychological issues of overeating....
