Interesting article.

Wow, I've never heard of the electrical stimulation system or the gastric emptying system. The gastric emptying system seems like a big hassle. And it doesn't seem to change the patient's eating habits at all.

I agree. I haven't heard of the either and they don't appear to change behavior. Plus the emptying system strikes me as gross.

@Treadmillwalker Doesn't it? To me, it's technological bulimia. I can't believe the FDA approved that.

That stomach emptying junk is TOTALLY GROSS!!! It is only good for 6 months, then it has to be removed. I guess people get desperate to loose weight. I think back on my nursing days when patients had a Colostomey bag. You haven't lived until you deal with those!!
