ABSTRACT:
A food intake restriction apparatus and method includes and uses an operable restriction device implanted in a patient and engaging the stomach or esophagus to form an upper pouch and a restricted stoma opening in the stomach or esophagus. A source of energy external to the patient's body and a control device for releasing wireless energy from the source of energy from outside the patient's body are provided. The released wireless energy is used in connection with the operation of the restriction device, to enlarge it to allow food passage, or to contract it to substantially prevent food passage.
