Did you see this? Holy cow. "shocking new weight loss device". Reverse feeding tube - it pumps about 1/3 of the food out the stomach 20 minutes after eating. Still requires surgery.

I watched the video. I rate the device at about 11 on my ICK! o meter.

Gives a whole new meaning to the term "pre-chewed food".

We could do an infomercial for the new "make your own baby food at home" device. Why buy baby food when junior can get it straight from the tap! :P

I agree. Sounds like surgically induced anorexia.

I thought the inventor of the segway drove himself off a cliff in Dover or something? Perhaps that would have been better than inventing this....

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
