A size credit card implant detects when food is eaten and sends signals to the brain to make an impression, regardless of whether the diet is large or small.

It is hoped that the device, which could be inserted into the stomach by a small surgical intervention, would provide a common alternative to radical dissection procedures such as gastric bypass surgery. the stomach is shrunk.

The Abiliti device, manufactured by IntraPace (USA), is fitted with a lead wire, a food sensor and an electrode.

When the person implanted Abiliti, the sensor is activated and signals to the device, and the device sends a series of light impulses to the electrode.

This activity 'hits' the nearby vagus nerve, simultaneously triggering hormonal changes to trick the brain into thinking the stomach is full.
