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 2):
An obesity treatment apparatus comprising:\n at least two expandable balloons, wherein\n each balloon of the at least two expandable balloons comprises\n an inflation valve for inflating the respective balloon with one or more gasses, and \n a wall comprising at least two layers, wherein a first layer of the at least two layers includes an elastic material, \n \n the obesity treatment apparatus is configured for delivery via an esophagus of a patient in an uninflated state and inflation via an inflation catheter while situated in a stomach of the patient, and \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; \n wherein, after inflating each expandable balloon with the one or more gasses,\n 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, and \n the at least two expandable balloons arrange along a curved shape conforming to a natural three-dimensional kidney shape of the stomach such that the at least two expandable balloons align against greater or lesser curvatures of the stomach.
