ear stapling

[lbminchew]

Has anyone ever heard of this before or know of anyone that had it done?  I had way to much time on my hands yesterday afternoon and found it under alternative methods of weight loss search.  Just curious!

hi,
i had the ear stapling done and it was by the aunt of a co-worker and she was an RN. be sure if you decide to get it done to make sure the person uses the right technique and uses sterile technique. problem with infections if not the RN told me. i got mine done for weight loss but saw absolutely NO good result; however, i did have the best sleep i have had in years.

Well I had this stapling done about 30 yrs ago.  (Yep, i've fought this weight for 30 plus years!) It was done by a physician in his office.  It did not work.  You were to rub the staple when you felt hungry and it was suppposed to take the edge off of the hunger and make you eat less.  That was when I was 15, it may have changed somewhat.

I suppose it's changed a bit. I had it done 2 weeks before Christmas. I was told you don't have to do anything to lose weight. You don't have to change any of your activities. hahahahaha! Yeah, right! I didn't lose any weight and one ear kept getting sore. I was told not to touch them cause you can push them out of place, but if you have one that keeps getting sore what are you going to do but touch it? By the time I finally had enough of it being sore, the nurses weren't in the office anymore, or at least I couldn't catch them there. I finally had my husband cut it and remove it for me.

I can say a few times that I felt extremely full, to the point of it hurting like I had eaten a really huge meal, but I hadn't had very much at all. I assumed it was the staples "working."

I do think the staples will work if you increase your level of activity but whose to say that it's not just the activity that causes the weight loss? LOL
