Date of article: 1/25/2012

summary:
The Manufacture of a device to assist weight loss without surgery has many negative effects. This device will save billions of dollars that is paid for this type of surgery. There are two supports and opponents of the device. The idea of the device is to put silicon at the top of the stomach to reduce the amount of food.

Issues:
1- Why do the government and biggest insurance companies still argue about this discovery?
2- Do you think this discovery will be successful?
3- Do you think this discovery has negative effect in the future of the person who did this kind of surgery?

Opinion:
After I read this article I agreed with this discovery for tow reasons. First, In my view, the discovery will help the fat people to live in this life like any person who has normal weight. Second, this discovery is better than the surgery of lining the stomach because this kind of surgery led a lot of people to die. That what was happened with my friend who did the surgery of lining the stomach but unfortunately she died.
