snipping vagus nerve ENDS HUNGER?

I just heard about a much less risky procedure called "snipping vagus nerve" that is supposed to end hunger sensations. It's supposed to be much less risky than stomach stapling and things like that. Does anyone know more about it?

YIKES, YIKES, AND YIKES!! all these things to manipulate only the symptoms of obesity! please first try eating only all natural and organic foods for awhile and see what happens to your hunger. the chemicals in food are lowering the metabolism and raising hunger. if you see high fructose corn syrup or msg, run. anything that says 'diet' on it, run. fast food - gain weight just looking at it. please don't do either of those things above to yourself!
