Lose weight... by tongue surgery?

This is interesting news.  A US Surgeon has come up with a way to loose weight.  Called the "tongue patch diet" the surgeon places a mesh on the tongue, making it difficult for the mouth to swallow and to eat.  So far the surgeon has conducted his own studies and have shown it to be effective in dropping 16-18 pounds.  Check out the link and video here: http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/nightline-fix-abc-news/tongue-patch-surgery-extreme-method-weight-loss-131423873.html
