Seven years ago a question was posed on Reddit, “What’s your idea of a perfect day?” The top answer, by an account that has since been deleted, was “Wake up next to someone you love, spend the day exploring the outdoors, spend the evening drinking with friends, fall asleep next to someone you love.”
Maybe throw in a plate of nachos, a sporting event or live music, and now we’re feeling a pang of wistfulness. With the vaccine rollout sputtering to a start now in a race to stay ahead of a more contagious strain we know there is light at the end of this tunnel, but we’re understandably skeptical at this point. Is it a light? Or Carol Anne’s closet in
A new implantable medical device might offer a less invasive method than gastric bypass to help with weight loss, a new study shows.
Gastric bypass surgery is sometimes the last resort for those who struggle with obesity or have serious health-related issues due to their weight. The invasive procedure, which involves making a small stomach pouch and rerouting the digestive tract, can prolong the recovery period for patients.
Researchers say the new centimeter-sized device stimulates the endings of the vagus nerve to provide a feeling of fullness. Unlike other devices that require a power cord, the new wireless device can be controlled externally from a remote radio frequency source.

Gastric bypass surgery is sometimes the last resort for those who struggle with obesity or have serious health-related issues due to their weight. Since this procedure involves making a small stomach pouch and rerouting the digestive tract, it is very invasive and prolongs the recovery period for patients. In a new study, researchers at Texas A&M University have described a medical device that might help with weight loss and requires a simpler operative procedure for implantation.
