Feelings on the new aspire bariatrics device?



Recommended Posts

Apparently Aspire bariatrics has invented some new WLS "device" that allows users to suck food directly out of their stomachs after meals. What!? That doesn't teach better eating habits and cannot help with nutrition. I view it as most do, "assisted bulimia". What are everyone else's thoughts?

Well it isn't new, it has been around a long time. I guess they finally bribed enough people to get it approved.

It will be totally abused in the US, the same way they are abusing and misusing the ballon with people.

It is disgusting and doesn't teach proper eating habits.

I really feel sad when people are duped into such dangerous practices. :(

I posted about the AspireAssist stomach pumping device over here a few days ago....

#5 I think this is a bad idea. This does not promote healthy eating or a lifestyle change. I think this will promote worse eating habits. People will think they can eat whatever they want and just pump it out

I thought "vomitrocious" when I heard about it. I don't think it will be a big hit with people, just too gross.

I think it will be wildly popular but personally, I would never consider it. To each their own, I guess.

I think it will be popular also. People will think they can eat whatever they want and as much as they want and just suck it out

I think it would probably be beneficial to a very small group of people with specific medical conditions.

But for the average fatty? It's complete folly.

Please remember weight loss is a multi billion dollar industry. Advertising could get very clever and sometimes..... People are desperate to lose weight.

I'm guessing some of us remember wanting to take off "X" pounds for some upcoming event.

Sounds like it will make money to me. Sigh.

Man that is a proverb if I ever read one. Long ago I had borderline anorexia (age 16, I'm 33 now) and let me tell you this will lead to just even more distorted eating habits for the 'average fatty' :unsure:

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
