Hundreds of things can go wrong with it, so therefore, someone is making huge buckets of money off your desire to lose weight. So instead of modifying your diet and upping your calorie burn, you can have a spigot to empty out the contents of your stomache, or really what you just ate.

But so many things can go wrong and it seems only 171 people tried it so far.

So very many things wrong with this :(

I thought of the Roman days when feasts would go on for days and feasters would vomit up the contents just eat more.

Healthy diet (everything in moderation) and regular daily exercise = healthy weight loss (this way means commitment & hard work)

no need for lazy way of pills or stomach pump

it will put people at a higher risk of complications. first of all, their body is already under a lot of strain due to the morbid obesity (especially the heart). second, they will be deprived of necessary nutrients by emptying the stomach in that way as they won't absorb the nutrition which brings a severe risk of malnutrition. nothing is safe about it at all. also, i wonder if it can cause complications like gastroparesis because if the stomach does not digest the food, the stomach and digestive system isn't allowed to work as it should which can lead to paralyzing the stomach and entire digestive system. it's beyond me how a doctor came up with this besides just another gimmick and money grab for people who are desperate to lose weight.

it has been known that even people who have gastric bypass can develop an eating disorder and digestive issues because they can only eat a small amount of food before physically becoming sick which is a lot like the above minus the device. it leads to malnutrition as well in a lot of cases if not monitored/done properly.

That is just insanity. What ever happened to the 80/20 rule? Eat healthy 80% of the time treat yourself 20% of the time.

Watched a cool documentary on the sugar industry recently. Made me rethink the food in the pantry and just what the big food mongers do to flood the market with 'healthy low fat' crap.
