Ear Stapling for Weight Loss?

I have never heard of this. It sounds really wierd. I have heard of acupunture to stop smoking on the ear... but it didn't work for my mom. I guess if the cost is not too expensive or you medical insurance covers it (most don't) then it would be a good idea to try it out.

That just sounds weird. If puncturing your ear makes you lose weight, then why didn't I lose weight when I got my ears pierced? There are plenty of other methods to lose weight without poking holes in yourself. Good luck, I know it's a struggle.

This sounds to me like it is a sort of acpuncture where they put the "needle" into the pressure points. It is often used to help people quit smoking although I have never heard of it for weight loss. Me not having heard of it means nothing though, so do not take that as it not working. I understand that the needles aren't necessarily where you would have your ears pierced for wearing earrings. If it isn't too expensive, what have you got to lose by trying it. If you do try it, make sure that you let us know whether or not it does work tentwo67. Good luck. :)

Stapling your Ear to loose weight? I have never heard of it, but I never knew our Ears could hear food, and this would keep us from wanting to eat? LOL If this is something you really are interested in, you might want to look into it more.

Yes, I have heard of ear stapling for weight loss. Ear stapling for weight loss is a form of acupuncture. (Acupressure is acupuncture without the needles). A friend of mine had her ears stapled for weight loss over 20 years ago, and it worked for her.

I heard about this not too long ago, and honestly, it didn't make much sense to me. I have cartilege piercings and I can't say I lost any weight after I got them... hmm... LOL Which is not say I don't think various forms of acupuncture and the like don't/can't/won't work, I think they do/can/will, but this one just sounds a little off to me. I would be interested to hear from someone who's tried it though. Are you planning to?

Sound like a scam to me. What does work is eating less and walking on a daily basis. Let me know what you find out.

I have never heard of it. What does your ear have to do with losing weight? I dont understand that part. Have you tried cutting out all pop (if you drink it) and working out alot?

I've never heard of this and I honestly don't see how ear stapling can help with weight loss. Sounds a little weird to me. After looking into it a little its a staple that gets pierced into your ear to make you have a decrease in your appetite. I couldn't read any real studies that proves it helps with weight loss though. Too bad... I need to lose weight after having a baby too.

I have never heard of that. good luck with it if you try.

I've never heard of that. It does sound a little strange and if it did work everyone with pierced ears s/b walking around like little toothpicks. Not sure that is something I would go and spend a bunch of money on.

I've heard of it and I assume it's just another way of getting people's money who want to lose weight without any effort. But maybe it works. I don't know. The thought of someone stapling my ear makes me cringe. And with my luck it would get infected. Good luck with that, though. I hope it works for you.

Ear stapling??? How does stapling up the ear help in weight loss? Interesting! Nope, never heard of this.

I used to work with a lady years ago that did this. She lost a lot of weight. For some reason I'm thinking that she had to wear a small piece of tape on her ear that looked like it had a little bb undre it. I haven't seen her in years so I don't know if she kept the weight off or not.

I have never heard about it and I don't know anything about it.

i haven't heard of it yet.

i have never heard of it so good luck
