alwayswondering Posted May 31, 2005 Share Posted May 31, 2005 Just wondering if anyone has heard about this new accupuncture thing where they put some kind of stainless steel "staple" in your ear that suposedly supresses your appetite. It is supposed to be relativley cheap and you can leave it in for years. Anyone heard of this and is this a completely ridiculous thing? Thanks Link to post Share on other sites
ReluctantRomeo Posted June 1, 2005 Share Posted June 1, 2005 If the staple penetrates far enough into your brain, it can stop you eating completely 2 words. Are you ready? Here they come.... diet... and, wait for it... exercise. Link to post Share on other sites

EC Posted June 1, 2005 Share Posted June 1, 2005 tngirl1976 One of my friends in Highschool tried it. She swore by it. I made fun of her forever for having that thing on her ear. But you know what she lost weight? So I'm guessing it works but I swear its a mental thing. If you believe it will work then it works. Link to post Share on other sites

shaw Posted August 20, 2005 Share Posted August 20, 2005 I have the staple in my ear and it does work pretty good. The doctor staples this pin in that looks like a hoop earring in the middle part of your ear. It lasts for 3 months and then you have to replace it. You go in monthly to have them adjust the staples. I have had mine in for a week and have lost 3 pounds so far. You should try it! Link to post Share on other sites
