Abstract
A method of controlling obesity by injecting bio-compatible bulking material into the pyloric sphincter area of the stomach. The injection of this material bulks the pyloric sphincter, retarding stomach emptying and producing a feeling of satiation in the patient. The method may be supplemental and augmented by inducing flaccid paralysis of the stomach by injecting botulinum toxin into the muscle tissue of the antrum or fundus of the stomach.
