I had seen this on Oprah yesterday that a woman had brain surgery to loose weight.

It is supposed to curb your appetitive and make you want to eat healthy foods.

So I ask


1. Would you do it?
2. Do you think they are going to far?

      I think it is, but apparently it's a new trend LOL

    Hold on lemme think about it....uhm...NO!

    Jebus Crowe, really? brain surgery for weight loss?

    I've heard of taking certain zinc supplements to stimulate the appetite center of the brain but this is for too-skinny people.

    I would not get the surgery b/c I do not eat b/c I am hungry. I eat for emotional and social reasons. Nothing to do with how my brain works.

      Emotional and social reasons

      I don’t know how I can argue with that logic

    Hell no! I say get on your bike and RIDE and eat a little less.

    No one thinks of using will power and discipline anymore!

    This seems way too extreme. I think gastric bypass is too extreme. I would have hypnosis though. I think the power of the mind of emotional eating can be influenced in a positive way through hypnotherapy.

      Hypnosis is okay, I think! I used that to quit smoking and it really worked!

    Well they drill holes in your brain, attach electrical wires, and a pacemaker type of device to shock you.

    I don’t know what the cost is but a 2x4 to the head would cost a lot less and probably have fewer side effects LOL

    Face lifting is no more shocking so why would this be shocking ?

    If I don't have seizures or a tumor no one is messing with my head. The facelift thing freaks me out too. A little too sci-fi.

    Whatever happened to hanging a recent hideous fat picture of yourself on the fridge door... It is soooooo much cheaper...

    I am all for body augmentation. We are entering an age where people can finally look the way they want. It has been my experience that if people had a choice, most of them would change something about their appearance. We see examples of this in tattoos, piercings, and implants. However, brain surgery to lose weight sounds a little stupid though, considering there are much less risky, and healthier alternatives. But if that's a risk and an expense people want to take then who am I to say it's wrong.

    Yeah just get the whole lot removed. That useless organ "the brain" averages 1.4 kg or 3 pounds. What is the point in lugging that dead weight around. Polybore's Hannibal Lector diet loose 3 pounds in under a minute only $100. Scoop out that brain (TM).

    Satisfaction guaranteed or your money back.
