Fake Out Your Brain

This summer, a doctor is going to implant a device in 30 volunteers to see if will aid in weight loss.  According to the Minneapolis Star-Tribune:

The pacemaker-like device is inserted just beneath the skin near the rib cage. It sends electrical impulses to block the vagus nerve, which tells the brain when the stomach is empty. The idea, in effect, is to trick the brain in order to curb the appetite.

Would you try something like this?
