Have you ever heard of fast weight loss solution with brain surgery? This is how it works – a bunch of neurosurgeons drill into your brain and insert wires carrying an electrical impulse to control your feelings of hunger and satisfaction.
After the brain surgery, you will get full faster whenever you eat. You feel that you simply don’t have the cravings like you used to have. This way you shed pounds and inches slowly.
However, this radical treatment to lose weight is not for overweight patients like you and me. It’s for obese patients like Carol Poe.
Carol Poe, 60, is only the second person in the United States to undergo deep brain stimulation for weight loss at West Virginia University hospital.
She decided to take part in the clinical trial after failing everything from diets to having her stomach stapled.
Poe weighed 230 pounds before the surgery. Guess what? Her heaviest weight was about 490 pounds!
The first patient underwent weight loss brain surgery in November 2008 while Poe had the surgery in February.
Although it would take months to see noticeable weight loss, Poe revealed that she had already lost three pounds.
