Sometimes Weight Loss is Painful

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.

Here are a few links 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?

So, when you have this thing removed you end up gorging yourself, because you haven't eaten anything solid for a month? Yeah, you'll probably lose a bunch of weight, but then it'll come back faster than it did the first time. Doesn't sound like a good thing to me.

I've lost 40 pounds now and it was easy. I found a website, got the book and read it. The author is a Nutritionist who helps Hollywood Stars lose weight and it worked for me. The website is:
