FDA approves implant designed to treat obesity by zapping nerves

WASHINGTON -- U.S. federal regulators have approved an appetite-suppressing implant designed to treat obesity by zapping nerves that connect the stomach and the brain.

The Maestro Rechargeable System uses electrodes implanted in the abdomen to stimulate the vagus nerve, which signals to the brain that the stomach is empty or full. Patients and doctors can adjust the device settings using external controllers.

Shares of EnteroMedics rose in trading Wednesday after the Food and Drug Administration said it approved the device for certain patients who are severely obese. It's the first medical device approved for obesity since the agency's 2007 approval of a gastric band from Ethicon.

Always tell someone how you feel because opportunities are lost in the blink of an eye but regret can last a lifetime.

Uh huh...

And lawsuits will be popping up from people whose stomach exploded or something.  ::LOL::


There's no better way to lose weight than vigorous exercise and sensible eating.

After I leave the club, my appetite is zapped for about 12 hours.
