Weight-loss device sucks food from stomach after meals

A device that sucks food out of the stomach to help people lose weight has recently received a US patent and is already available in some parts of Europe. The AspireAssist is designed to empty food from the stomach before it can be absorbed by the body. Patients undergo surgery to have a tube implanted in their stomach. The tube is connected to a valve outside the body that connects to the device, which is worn externally. Twenty minutes after eating, the patient attaches a device to the valve. The device pumps food out of the stomach, replacing it with water. The AspireAssist was invented by Segway inventor Dean Kamen and a group of bariatricians. It has not yet been approved by the US Food and Drug Administration.
