Weighing in at 122 kilograms, one young man had his appetite limited by using
an elastic band around his stomach.
In this way, he may lose more than 30 kilograms in weight, doctors from a
hospital in Chongqing predicted.
The 21-year-old man is the first-ever overweight patient to use such binding
through surgery, they said, adding it was only suitable for those suffering from
simple obesity.
