摘要：
Provided are devices and related methods for weight loss. A size-varying gastric balloon having a passage connected to an elongated sleeve forms a continuous pathway extension so that swallowed food is not absorbed by the body, thereby promoting weight loss. The connection of the sleeve to the gastric balloon avoids the need to directly anchor the proximal sleeve, with the balloon providing that anchoring function. Also provided are gastric balloons having a shape-controllable funnel to provide desired weight loss parameters tailored to the need of an individual and specially configured double lumen sleeves to facilitate controlled nutrition supply to a patient. Methods of deploying any of the devices described herein for weight-loss are also provided.
