Abstract
An implantable intragastric volume occupying device system is provided which generally includes a volume occupying device and an active agent, for example, a metabolic agent or satiety inducing agent. The volume occupying device may be structured to contain the agent and permit controlled release of the agent to the patient while the volume occupying device is positioned within the patient's stomach. Methods for treating obesity are also provided which include positioning a volume occupying device in the stomach of a patient and administering a satiety inducing agent to the patient while the volume occupying device is positioned in the stomach. In one embodiment, the active agent may be contained in a reservoir and dispensed to a portion of the patient's body.
