A delivery system and method of use thereof for introducing a bundled
intragastric bag into a gastric lumen are described. The delivery system
includes a pushing mechanism movable between an unexpanded and expanded
configuration. The pushing mechanism in its expanded configuration pushes
each of the bundles of the bag into the gastric lumen. A suture strand is
periodically pulled during the procedure to help create doughnut-shaped
bundles. Another suture strand extends between a proximal button and
distal button of the deployed assembly to maintain the doughnut-shaped
bundle structure.
