Abstract

See full text

A novel caloric bypass device that is inserted through the oral cavity and into the digestive tract of a human is disclosed. The device is deliverable as either a unitary or modular structure that preferentially directs a significant volume of the high calorie fluidic components of the chyme through the digestive tract, preventing exposure to the absorptive tissues of the digestive tract and, in some forms, stimulates negative feedback to the patient when simple sugars and carbohydrates are consumed. Also disclosed is a novel method of reducing or restricting caloric intake using this device to prevent or minimize contact with the absorptive tissues of the digestive tract.
