lose weight. i don t see what the big deal about this thing. it s just like what a stomach staple does. this is physically restraining you because you can t mentally restrain yourself. i m not judging. i feel like if someone wants to wire them, go for it. greg: i have an idea, it s called the gut tube. you have a side tube installed so it s like a freeway off ramp for your food. you eat and it comes down. instead of going to the stomach, it goes out right into like a trash can. you can enjoy the eating and goes out into the trash can. thank you. the taste i think you still get half the calories.
