A pill instead of surgery???!!!!!! Anyone??

I saw some ads for a pill that turns into a balloon in your tummy and keeps you from eating. What IS this? Anyone know anything? I find it hard to believe, and how do you deflate it later? This ad popped up when I typed "gastric bypass chat"

It's more BS..another "miracle cure"..and it is not an actual balloon..it is the old fiber trick..it turns into a thick gell in the tummy and is supposed to fill you up so that you can't eat as much...or give you a full sensation. Nothing works like a bypass except a bypass. Sher'

yes...it is BS, i know someone who got them and yes are up about 12 lbs, She is looking into by pass now, the real deal not the pretend pill. If half these things really worked, their be very few of us here because most of us have PHD's in dieting, the ability to keep it off is what really has challenged most people here like myself. A magic pill would take all the fun out of this.....ya think.......smile

Totally bogus! I saw that ad right before my surgery date -- I just totally skipped it and opted for the Real Deal
