New pump makes calories disappear

kgo
By ABC7

It is called the "Aspire Assist Device."

It works by sucking the food right out of the stomach so that only about a third of the calories are absorbed by the body.

A small, handheld device connects to another device on the outside of the stomach.

In a one-year trial of 24 obese patients, people lost an average of about 45 pounds.
