Could losing weight ever be as easy as swallowing a pill? Preliminary research suggests the answer may very well be yes.

Once swallowed, this capsule descends into the stomach, where its shell dissolves. The released balloon is then pumped up with buffered distilled water via the catheter, which is removed through the mouth.
