A medical system (100) for the treatment of morbid obesity comprising an
inflatable balloon (110) implanted in a gastric cavity, a percutaneous
fillant delivery tube (120) and a control module (130) connected to the
tube for regulating the inflation and deflation of the balloon. The
balloon may be individually contoured and inflated to occupy a large
volume of the gastric cavity to provide a feeling of satiety. The balloon
may also be deflated to give the gastric cavity lining a rest during less
critical time.
