I heard of some pretty weird ways to lose weight but a new weight loss device called AspireAssist goes to the top of my list. I'd never heard of it until earlier today when I stumbled upon a press release by the FDA that said its been approved as an ant-obesity treatment in the USA. After I'd finished reading the press release I did a little checking and discovered people in some parts of Europe have been using the AspireAssist for quite some time and I am truly amazed at the lengths some people will go to when they want to lose weight.
Why is the Aspire Assist a weird way to lose weight? Because it's a device that is attached to the body and allows a pipe to be inserted into the stomach. Once it is fitted to the body it stays there. Then after the wearer has finished eating their meals they are able to scuttle off to the toilet, take a seat, and then attach a small device to the "button" that has been attached to their stomach, hook-up another longer pipe, and then begin draining the contents of their stomach into the toilet. Apparently this takes half an hour to do and people can drain off around 30% of the food they have just spent time eating. This isn't just a weird way to lose weight, its totally gross and it doesn't sound like a very healthy way to live. Its like bulimia with technical implants.
I just visited the manufacturer's website and it makes everything about this sound like a walk in the park, but there is no information about how the device can be removed and I got the impression people are encouraged to keep it fitted for life—yuk! I know people sometimes need some help to lose weight, but there must he a better way than this. I think I'd rather be a tubby than a tubey.
