Abstract:
In one aspect, a gastric balloon structure includes multiple isolated non-concentric inflatable chambers and a valve system for introducing fluid into each chamber, where the structure assumes, upon inflating, a curved shape conforming to a natural three-dimensional kidney shape of the gastric cavity.

Claim (Index 17):
An obesity treatment apparatus, comprising:\n at least two expandable balloons, each balloon of the at least two expandable balloons comprising\n a means for receiving and retaining one or more gasses delivered via an inflation catheter from an external pressurized fluid source, and \n a wall including two or more layers, wherein a first layer of the two or more layers is formed from an elastic material; and \n a means for conforming the obesity treatment apparatus, in an inflated state, to a natural three-dimensional kidney shape of a stomach of a patient; wherein the obesity treatment apparatus is configured for delivery via an esophagus of a patient in an uninflated state, wherein,\n upon inflation, each balloon of the at least two expandable balloons is configured to occupy a respective volume in the stomach of the patient, wherein\n each balloon of the at least two expandable balloons is filled with a same one or more gasses, and \n \n after inflation, the obesity treatment apparatus floats freely within the stomach of the patient without exerting pressure at any point in the stomach sufficient to cause ulceration, wherein\n the one or more gasses of the external pressurized fluid source are selected to provide buoyancy to the obesity treatment apparatus within the stomach.
