Some Turning
To Ear Staples For Weight Loss
Ear stapling could be a new way to curb your appetite, and
some people are calling it a weight-loss breakthrough. It's
done with a tiny, stainless steel staple that goes in the rim
of the ear, and it costs about $60.
Some people who got the staples said it just stings for a
second.
"My first set, I had lost like 17 and 20 pounds, and I had
lost another 18 pounds after that. I'm up to like 38, 40
pounds right now," said Tricia Carmody, owner of EZ Staple by
Tricia in Beaver Falls.
The silver rings work like acupuncture, supposedly triggering
the "full" feeling through pressure points and turning off
cravings for food or tobacco.
"Whether this is psychologic, whether this is physiologic, I
think, is difficult to demonstrate," said Dr. Bruce Dixon,
director of the Allegheny County Health Department.
"Certainly, there are examples where procedures similar to
this have had a beneficial effect on people and their health
outcome."
"It's not necessarily that you won't get hungry," said Carmody.
"You will get hungry, but when you sit down to eat, instead of
eating that big bowl of pasta, you can only eat a little bit
because your brain is telling you that you are full."
Some women came in after two weeks to get the staples
repositioned because they have yet to feel or see the effects,
Perrine said.
