Abstract:
1. A bariatric device for weight loss, comprising a. a lower stomach element comprised of a wall forming a lumen, the wall having an interior surface, an exterior contact surface comprising a steep-sided frusto-cone adapted to fit the walls of the mid to lower stomach, and wherein the lower stomach element is constructed of resilient material capable of being collapsed for placement and rebounding to maintain its shape for operation, and sized to prevent the lower stomach element from contacting the pylorus; b. a positioning element with proximal and distal ends, comprising two closed loops arranged in separate planes, wherein the distal ends of the loops are coupled with the lower stomach element, and the proximal ends are adapted to engage the upper stomach, wherein the positioning element is constructed of resilient material such that the proximal end is capable of contacting on the upper stomach to maintain the relative position of the lower stomach element to cause the lower stomach element to have at least intermittent contact with the mid to lower stomach; and c. a restriction element coupled with the lower stomach element.
