Experts: Buyers Beware of 'Gastric Bypass' Pill

"Zetacap" is being touted as a "gastric bypass pill," a far cheaper alternative to expensive gastric bypass surgery that shrinks your stomach from the size of a football to the size of an egg. Last year, at least 140,000 gastric bypass operations were performed, with many patients experiencing dramatic weight loss. "American Idol" judge Randy Jackson, weatherman Al Roker and Sharon Osbourne all dropped more than 100 pounds thanks to gastric bypass — and Carnie Wilson lost a whopping 188 pounds. The company that makes Zetacap — which costs $75 for a 30-day supply — claims it contains a super-thick, non-digestible fiber with a secret ingredient that when combined with water forms a filling gel, like a balloon in the stomach, and within minutes the user feels like they've just eaten a big meal. http://www40.brinkster.com/gastricbypass/gastric%2Dbypass/gastric-b...
