a new thing to trick your brain into thinking it's full. it's the first anti-obesity device approved by the government in eight years. holy philips is here to talk about. it's a big, big deal. >> it is. it's exciting that the fda went ahead and approved it. the way it works, it involves putting a small pacemaker device into the abdomen and that device has wire leads and and electrodes that attach to the adon name vegas nerves where the abdomen reaches the stomach. it sends signals to the brain to tell whether or not the stomach is full. what the device does is disrupts the signals so you eat less and lose weight. >> so it's surgery but not as invasive as other procedures. >> exactly. the reality is for morbidly
8:14 am
obese people -- diet and exercise is the safest way for the majority but it won't keep the weight off. gastric bypass and laparoscopic banding are good options but not for everyone. it's for a specific group of people. you have to have a body mass between 35 and 45 and also some obesity-related condition. maybe diabetes. and to put it in perspective, obesity is defined as a body mass index that's your body height versus weight. over 30 means your morbidly obese or severely obese. >> what's amazing to me is you can do something like this and affect the nerve that goes to the brap. what's the potential about that? what's the potential for that not just obesity but a whole range of things.
8:15 am
>> absolutely. it really opens up a new way on how we can lose weight how we can communicate with the brain, and what measures we need to take. it's very exciting. it might be available soon, but we'll have to see when insurances decide to cover it. >> all right. dr. holly phillips thank you so much. another breakthrough. and up next we'll talk the men who conquered the most difficult rock faces using their hands and feet. yosemite climbers tommy caldwell and kevin jorgeson. they're standing by excited to talk to us. that's next on "cbs this morning." >> announcer: cbs "morning rounds" sponsored by campbells ss oven sauces. we help you cook a real dinner right in the middle of real life. right in the middle of real life.

this morning two climbers are celebrating a historic moment in their sport. tommy caldwell and kevin jorgeson reached the summit of el capitan at yosemite on wednesday. it marked the end of a 19-day journey of free climbing. >> they used just their hands and feet to reach the top. they're the first to accomplish that lofty goal. the two of us are with us from yosemite along with his wife becca because her husband has lost his voice. good morning. despite losing your voice, we're happy to have you with us.
8:20 am
help us to understand the enormity of what you have done and what it means to you. >> well, tommy first envisioned this line in 2007 and it was a pretty audacious goal given where the climb is located on el capitan. all the other climbs followed very distinct cracks and this was a distinctive portion of the wall. it really did take seven years of work to make this real. >> it means what to you and to tommy in. >> it means what. i meenan anything is possible if you work hard enough. >> there you go. >> wonderful. >> when i first joined the team with tommy, the climb felt impossible quite literally. and to feel the pieces come together year after year was remarkable. >> but i heard you guys say that this is not -- you're not thrill seekers. this is a realization of a lifelong dream. what was the dream and why are
8:21 am
you not thrill seekers? why was it so much more than that to you. >> becca? >> more a journey of passion. it's about dreams. seeking thrills. >> can you guys hear that at all? >> very good tommy. >> you're good okay great. >> was -- did you run into challenges you didn't anticipate? >> personally i had many challenges i didn't anticipate. it took a lot of resolve to stay positive and see it through. >> what did you say to yourself, kevin? at your most difficult moment what did you say to yourself? >> honestly i said i don't want to be the guy that almost
8:22 am
climbed the dawn wall. >> great. >> what hurts you most right now, guys? where are you in pain or are you in pain? >> personally my hands and the skin on my hands hurt but that's about it. >> my voice. >> so becca, thank you for being there. i know you're a climber as well and you have a young child and you were watching your husband. first of all, how did he lose his voice and what do you think of their accomplishment? ? >> >> i think their accomplishment is just amazing and i think the support that everyone has shown you know with them kind of pushing them up the wall as well has been amazing too. so. >> becca do you want to do it? >> i don't want to do the dawn wall, no. but i would -- i'm looking forward to -- i'm looking forward to get up el cap again
8:23 am
with tommy sometime. >> are you surprised by the attention you've garnered? i'm sure people were rooting for you this whole time. >> the president tweeted a picture. >> i was going to say, the president tweeting a picture and congratulating you. what does that mean? >> it's pretty surreal to see rock climbing get this kind of attention, but i think it kind of points to larger themes that everybody can relate to you know dreaming big and seeing their projects through to the end. everyone has their own dawn wall so i thankink that's what's resonating. >> it's interesting. the president mirrored what you said when he said nothing is impossible. >> right. i think that's the biggest takeaway. >> what don't we understand about what you did? i mean it's just unimaginable to me you can do this with just your hands, but beyond that what don't we get about this?
8:24 am
how tired you get? how -- >> how lonely it is? >> yeah. >> what? >> there's so much nuance that goes into completing a project like this, you know. everyone is seeing kind of the final final, you know week of the push. but what you don't see is the seven years of work. >> exactly. >> and most importantly the vision of seeing the lines to begin with, which tommy did back in 2007. so there's a lot of backstory back here and a lot of days where there were no cameras and there were no stories. we were up there toiling away. >> i know there's more to come. i'm thinking if you've never had a mani p

in a race, it's about getting to the finish line. in life, it's how you get there that matters most. like when i found out i had a blood clot in my leg. my doctor said that it could travel to my lungs and become an even bigger problem. so he talked to me about xarelto®. >>xarelto® is the first oral prescription blood thinner proven to treat and help prevent dvt and pe that doesn't require regular blood monitoring or changes to your diet. for a prior dvt i took warfarin, which required routine blood testing and dietary restrictions.
8:29 am
not this time. while i was taking xarelto®, i still had to stop racing, but i didn't have to deal with that blood monitoring routine. >>don't stop taking xarelto®, rivaroxaban, unless your doctor tells you to. while taking xarelto®, you may bruise more easily and it may take longer for bleeding to stop. xarelto® may increase your risk of bleeding if you take certain medicines. xarelto® can cause serious bleeding, and in rare cases, may be fatal. get help right away if you develop unexpected bleeding, unusual bruising, or tingling. if you have had spinal anesthesia while on xarelto®, watch for back pain or any nerve or muscle related signs or symptoms. do not take xarelto® if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. tell your doctor before all planned medical or dental procedures. before starting xarelto® tell your doctor about any conditions such as kidney, liver, or bleeding problems. xarelto® is proven to reduce the risk of dvt and pe, with no regular blood monitoring and no known dietary restrictions. treatment with xarelto® was the right move for me. ask your doctor about xarelto® today.

8:33 am
put across on your plate. >> reporter: robesk's narrowing down the three eligible bachelors for coffee and then she'll decide who gets the date. >> intelligent, good looking. >> i feel like you're a casting agent. >> maybe it's a new career. >> the lucky kbie must be able to pay for his flight and hotel but the wining and dining is on her. >> my main thing was to have fun, have an adventure. if i get some love, that will be good. >> reporter: for thms david begnaud, cbs news san francisco. >> there is a lesson here. let your intentioning be known and go after it. >> it's like put it out there. if you build it they will come. >> what are you thinking gayle? >> billboard to come on west side highway. >> gayle is looking. >> she can give him the 36 questions we had yesterday. >> i know, i know. that's the way to fall in love.

8:46 am
very impressive. >> you said he was impressive in that. >> beyond that what's the biggest surprise? >> jennifer aniston not getting nominated for the film. i expected a better showing for the movie "selma." i thought the director could get nominated, the actor david oyelowo could get nomt nated. it was nominated for best picture and best sound. overall the best picture race is eight movies that have all not made a lot of money. the highest grossing of those eight is actually request the grand budapest hotel" with $59 million. that will change because "american sniper" is opening in wide release. it's going have the biggest hit. but moves like "gone girl,". >> no big blockbusters. >> where do you think the race is for best actors? >> between michael keaton in "birdman" and eddie redmayne
8:47 am
"the theory of everything." unless they thought bradley cooper got the three. but i think he's got a little bit of ground to cover. >> but he has hollywood likes. >> yeah. but do you give the edge to michael keaton. after his speech people were touch and moved by that. >> i think it depends what people want to recognize. if they want to go through this really technical performance and also the kind of career michael keaton has had, then that's the choice. but you can't count out eddie redmayne because that tugs at your heartstrings. what an impressive role he played. >> "unbroken" by angelina jolie, how did they fair? >> only a couple. yourall, not a great showing for that movie. at this point i can't say i'm surprised. that's a movie i thought would have a lot of oscar chances going in, but then the response to it was not as strong as it was to be. >> is "boyhood" and linklater --
8:48 am
>> i would say so. it did overall editing which as we know is very important, so i think that's the one to beat. it didn't get the most nominations but i think that's the one to beat. i think "grand budapest hotel" will get the nod. >> it's no secret i'm on team "selma." what do you think about that? >> they're very late in the game. they locked the picture late. the screeners which are so important didn't get out to screeners early enough and best actor where i thought daivtd oyelowo had a great shot it's too tight of a category this year and that's why you don't see jake gyllenhaal getting nominated for "night crawler" but i'm happy for steven carell. >> most think julianne moore. >> i think people are surprised to learn she's never won. she won the golden globe for
8:49 am
"still alice" where her character is diagnosed with alzheimer's at age 50. tough competition. the surprise is marian cotillard, a past winner. she was nominated for another french film "two days one night" which got a lot of critical acclaim. >> thank you so much. >> february 2 nld. >> you're watching "cbs this morning."
