ah! your own personal stomach pump.....
A new weight loss device offers a novel approach to cutting calories: draining them from the stomach before they are fully digested.The AspireAssist system consists of a thin tube implanted in the stomach, connecting to an outside port on the skin of the belly. About 20 minutes after finishing a meal, users connect the port to an external device, which drains some of the recently-consumed food into the toilet.
The manufacturer—Aspire Bariatrics based in King of Prussia, Pennsylvania—says its system removes about 30 percent of food stored in the stomach before it begins causing weight gain.
The Food and Drug Administration approved the device on Tuesday for adults who are obese, with a body mass index of 35 to 55, and have not been able to lose weight with other methods.

Why can´t people just go on a diet?
Getting to the root of the problem does not involve a
weaponknife.Psychological assistance and monitored diet and exercise will help much quicker than a scalpel.
It was very popular over here at the time.
The phenomenon never occurred though
M, surgery brings in the bucks, but seriously there are few and few effective alternatives..
Suggested is probably too mild a word, there is often an alternative option given.
Surgery would only be an option given for most complaints in other countries when nothing else works, or there is truly no viable alternative.
thanks Ken
I would not date a guy who used that. No way.
