Bypass Surgery Bottled Up?
Those with a few pounds to lose are often looking for a quick solution. The latest comes in the form of Zetacap, touted as "The world's first and only gastric bypass pill."
That's an outrageous claim to be sure, yet the company states 200,000 people worldwide are using the product.
