A system for creating an invaginated portion in a stomach comprises a suction device and a securing member. The suction device comprises a suction head operable to provide suction, a shaft connected to the suction head, and a vacuum lumen in fluid communication with the suction head. The suction head and vacuum lumen are operable to induce a vacuum adjacent to tissue. The suction device is further operable to create an invaginated portion with the tissue. The securing member is operable to substantially maintain the configuration of the invaginated portion of tissue. The suction device may comprise gripping jaw members having teeth. The securing member may comprise an adhesive and/or sutures and the like. The system may be used to create invaginated portions within a stomach. Such invaginated portions may reduce stomach volume to address obesity or other conditions.
