As we walk our ways in the 21st century, more and more people are becoming conscious about the way they look and appear. Many of us are fighting a war with ugly fat and nasty flab on our bodies. We ensure that our diet is well maintained and also buy expensive products that promise weight reduction and toning. But unfortunately many of us have to face defeat in the battle fought against our own body fat.

But as the technology has boomed, yet another gift has come for the rescue of those who have given up on the battle ground. The medical science has come up with a fat absorbing implant that blocks fat absorption, thus leading to reduction in obesity and fat.

This new implant will replace the existing painful and invasive Bariatric surgeries. It’s called the Vagal nerve blocking device.

Three medical centers of Australia, Mexico and Norway involved in a six-month open trail study, in which 13 obese participants were given the vagal nerve-blocking device. The participants lost nearly 15 per cent of their excess weight. A quarter shed more than 25 percent, and three patients lost more than 30 percent.

Michael Camilleri, a Mayo Clinic gastroenterologist, helped design the study.

She said the goal was to find less drastic alternative to Bariatric surgery that will still yield significant weight loss.

"For this study, we wanted to get an initial assessment of whether blocking the vagus nerve electrically could cause obese patients to feel full after a normal-sized meal," Camilleri explained.

"Patients were not put on any restricted diets or given counselling that typically accompanies gastric banding. We wanted to determine how much weight loss could be attributed to the device alone."

The vagal nerve blocking device uses high-frequency electricity to block the nerve impulses between the brain and the stomach and pancreas.

This device is intelligent to block the fat absorption which can definitely help plenty of them who are tired of looking at their nasty fat and flab hanging from their waist. Of course! The device seems to be only a support system to block fat absorption, but the existent fat would have to be burnt with the help of proper exercise.
