An apparatus comprising an intragastric member (100) re-configurable from a first configuration to a second configuration, the first configuration being sufficiently small to permit introduction of said intragastric member into a gastric lumen of a mammal, the second configuration being sufficiently large to prevent said intragastric device from passing through the mammals pylorus, wherein said intragastric member comprises a plurality of spaced apart openings (112). The intragastric member comprises an elongate member (118) having a proximal end and a distal end, wherein the elongate member is threaded through the openings of the intragastric member, and the intragastric member is disposed between the proximal end and the distal end of the elongate member. The apparatus also comprises a distal stopper (120) engaged to the distal end of the elongate member and a proximal stopper (124) engaged to the proximal end of the elongate member for securing the intragastric member upon delivery into the gastric lumen of the patient. The elongate member can also comprise a cinching member (110) to facilitate delivery of the intragastric member into the gastric lumen of the patient.Linvention concerne un dispositif comprenant un élément intragastrique reconfigurable, qui peut passer dune première configuration à une seconde configuration. Dans la première configuration, lélément intragastrique est suffisamment petit pour pouvoir être introduit dans une lumière gastrique dun mammifère dans la seconde configuration, lélément intragastrique est suffisamment grand pour quil ne puisse pas traverser le pylore du mammifère, ledit élément comprenant une pluralité douvertures espacées. Lélément intragastrique comprend un élément allongé qui comporte une extrémité proximale et une extrémité distale lélément allongé se visse à travers les ouvertures de lélément intragastrique, et lélément intragastrique est placé entre les extrémités proximale et distale de lélément allongé.
