ABSTRACT:
In a procedure for control of obesity, a clamp is placed across the stomach in a manner to partition the stomach into proximal and distal chambers with a restricted flow passage therebetween. An adjustable volume member is carried by the clamp and is coupled to distally positioned means for adjusting the dimensions of said member thereby controlling the effective cross-sectional area of said flow passage.
