It’s a new diet fad and for some it may be hard to swallow! The tongue patch is a new cosmetic surgery technique
that allegedly helps people lose up to thirty pounds in a month via a postage-stamp-sized patch stitched on the tongue. The rough patch basically makes eating solid food a major pain. The procedure, which has yet to be approved by the FDA, costs about $2,000. For safety reasons, the patch must be removed after 30 days.
