ABSTRACT:
A gastric band device for forming a stoma opening in a stomach for treatment of morbid obesity includes a flexible substantially nonextensible band portion having an expandable section that is expandable and deflatable through an injection site. After the nonextensible band portion has been positioned around the stomach to form the stoma opening, the expandable section is used to adjust the diameter of the stoma opening.
