Welcome to Sci-Fi Theater!

[leag78 469]

What if this whole time we never got a sleeve or bypass done to our bodies? Meaning, we are put under, few incisions are made, but nothing has been done to our insides? Our minds are tricked into thinking that our stomachs are smaller but in fact they are still completely in tact? We can't obviously check our insides to confirm what was done to us. So where is the proof??? Just saying.

Join me again, next time, on Sci-Fi theater weekend...LOL!!!

LoL. I sorta wondered if my surgeon has done anything the first couple weeks.

Once I ate solid food......I knew he'd done his job. Two bites and was DONE !!!!!

Your staples will show up on X-ray.

What the heck are you smoking?? LOL.

Seriously though, that idea can really blow your mind if you think about it. I mean, our minds really are a powerful thing. Who's to say it can't be "tricked" into thinking we have smaller stomachs and to get full quicker?

There's a place that advertises on TV here called Positive Changes. Basically they hypnotise you into seeing food differently and stop cravings to eat healthier. The (supposed) real people on the commercials swear it works.

I believe this surgery is mostly the power of mind over matter anyway. Whether we have the physical symptoms of fullness or not.

See what you started? Now I'm being all....deep.

You're talking about the placebo effect. It's well documented when it comes to pills and other treatments but in the USA they've never done studies with sham surgeries. They have in some European countries - exactly the way you described it.

If it's wrong I don't wanna be right. ????

At one year I had a swallow test test done. Miss Tummy showed up real clear, about the size of a small banana.

Lol technology is a funny thing. I was just sitting here one day. Body hocus pocus,and while you're under you are being hypnotized to feel the effects of a smaller tummy....or seeing x-rays the way they want you to see them...LOL!!! Sounds good enough for a movie idea!!!
