\"New
New weight loss tool could hit the market soon.<\/figcaption><\/figure>For those attempting to lose weight, it\u2019s a struggle. Counting calories, exercising and changing eating habits isn\u2019t easy and it takes time. It\u2019s no surprise that some many people gravitate towards quick fixes for weight loss. A new product, a personal stomach pump, could be the next quick way to shed unwanted fat.<\/p>\n

The New Product<\/strong><\/p>\n

The makers of the Segway have designed a pump so people can literally remove contents from the their stomach after each meal. A tube is surgically implanted into the stomach and comes out through an external \u201cport\u201d in the abdomen. <\/p>\n

This allows a person to attach a pump to the port after eating and take out 30 percent of the food consumed before it’s absorbed into the body. A pouch of water is then pumped back into the stomach to help the remaining food breakdown, according to Fox News<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The FDA has not approved the pump yet; however, Aspire Bariatrics has applied for a patent.<\/p>\n

Critics Say Pump is the Latest Gimmick<\/strong><\/p>\n

As the company works to get its new gadget approved, health experts are already speaking out against it.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe new stomach pump may be one of the biggest gimmicks of all time,\u201d Dr. Colella, director of robotic surgery at Magee Women\u2019s Hospital and St. Margaret\u2019s Hospital at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center tells NewsMaxHealth.<\/p>\n

Colella says there are other proven treatments that should be considered long before the stomach pump.<\/p>\n

\"New
New weight loss product isn’t supported by everyone.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

\u201cWith current safety statistics showing that bariatric surgery is comparable to having your gallbladder removed and that the weight and health benefits are durable, this [stomach] tube hardly deserves mention in the same discussion,\u201d in his opinion Dr. Colello says.<\/p>\n
