Abstract
Described herein are a device and an associated method for treatment of obesity. Specifically, a non-spherical balloon is described that expands inside the stomach to reduce luminal volume. The non-spherical balloon is firmly anchored to the abdominal wall in order to eliminate migration risks. Further, the device inflates in a longitudinal fashion to fill a greater curvature of the stomach, thereby preventing food from contacting the ghrelin-producing cells that stimulate hunger.
