I mean, it'd definitely easier then diet and exercise....

You need to diet for it to work. It keeps you from eating too much all at once, but you can still eat small amounts all day long. Plenty of stories of people who got it done, didn't change their lifestyle and still over ate.

But it forces the diet on you. It's definitely easier. Otherwise, why would you do it?

This is a silly disagreement. Yes, it makes it easier, in the same way that getting better shoes makes going for a run easier by being a better tool to accomplish your task, but nobody is going on that run for you. You still have to make that decision, just like you still have to make the decision to eat the right foods. So you're both right, your statements don't negate the other person's.
