Abstract
A stomach clamp, having partially occluding arms that extend across a stomach, is operationally clamped in place by bolting together opposed arm ends that extend beyond the stomach periphery. The clamp divides the stomach and reduces space for food input while permitting drainage between the divided stomach parts through the non-occluding part of the clamp arms. The clamp is semi-permanently installed without penetration of stomach lumen or gastrointestinal tract and serves to reduce food intake ane obesity. Frictional engagement of the arms with the stomach is reinforced with sutures through outer layers of the stomach.
