A sensor in the body of a person will report hunger
To maintain a healthy weight, a person sometimes does not need a strict diet or regular exercise, it’s enough just not to overeat. The Food and Drug Administration has approved therapy using the Maestro System, which will monitor hunger.
EnteroMedics' Maestro Rechargeable System is something similar to a pacemaker: it also sets the pace, but not the heart, but the stomach. It is implanted in the stomach and sends electronic pulses that block hunger and send a signal of fullness. The patient loses weight because the device will help him know when to eat.

But it is too early to ask the doctors about this gadget: there are still discussions about how well the system works. People with an implanted device lose 8.5% more weight relative to people implanted with pacifiers. The Food and Drug Administration will monitor the test subjects for five years.
If therapy really works, it can be a salvation for people whose weight is already out of control.
