Have any of you ever heard anything about the ear stapling to help you loose weight. I guess it has to do with accupuncture. Do you know of anyone that has done it and if it worked for them or not?

What can I do next?

When I was working everyone in my office but me did it and it did not work for a single one of them. Half of them fell out not too long after it was done. Big waste of money.

I did it and it did not work for me, the first week I was less hungry but for the amount of weight that I wanted to get rid of just one week did absolutely nothing. I left the staples for a long time to no results. I am a firm believer in accupuncture but my real accupuncture doctor when I asked if he could help me loss weight he said, "yes, but you have to excercise" The real doctor does not do the staples. Maybe that was a sign right there.

My husband's aunt had it done and is very happy. She did say it was painful though and she didn't recommend it for that reason.

Hello!

My mom had this done a couple of years ago, I think it worked at first, but I don't think she saw any results from it, she had to try something diffrent. But everyone is different it may work for you =)

Good luck to you!

This question has been asked a couple times on mamasource.

The main result of everyone, and everyone they knew was that it was painful and didn't work.

My mom and my sister and several other people I know did it and it seemed to work out okay for them. I personally am not sure from experience, but I think people are getting pretty good results. From what I understand you do one ear to decrease your appetite, then the other ear to quit smoking. Good luck!

My mother in law, father in law, husband and I went to go get it done back in march,, IT DOESNT WORK.!!! Dont spend your money on this .. It hurts and its just a staple they put in your ear..

It must of worked for others but really in my opinion its just all in your mind.
