You guys aren't going to believe this. A new cosmetic surgery is being done (in California, I believe) where a patch the size of a postage stamp is being sewn on to patients' tongues by plastic surgeons.
This procedure is being done because the patch makes it painful and uncomfortable to eat solid food, forcing the patient to only consume only liquid food, causing them to lose weight.
HereĀ are a few linksĀ for more information about this patch, called the Chugay Tongue Patch:

What do you think? Is this patch a safe and effective way to lose weight?
