The invention relates to an adjustable stomach band with a rigid back (4)
and a chamber (2), arranged on the stoma side of the back (4), for
control of stoma constriction by means of introduction or removal of
fluid from the chamber (2). According to the invention, such a stomach
band with a preferably automatic setting of the stoma constriction,
depending on the food intake, is possible, whereby a second chamber (1)
is provided to the stoma side of the back (4), directly connected to, or
cooperating with the first chamber (2), such that the control of the
stoma constriction is achieved by means of displacing the fluid between
the chambers (1, 2) or between a reservoir (9) and the stoma-constricting
chamber (2). An auto-regulation can be achieved, whereby a second chamber
(1) is embodied as sensor for recording a pressure rise in the stomach
and the control of the stoma constriction is achieved depending on the
recorded pressure by means of displacement of the fluid from the chamber
(1), or from the reservoir (9) into the stoma-constricting chamber (2).
