An apparatus and method comprising one or more intragastric balloons
comprising a foam material disposed within the gastric lumen of a mammal.
When the foam material is disposed within the one or more balloons, the
one or more intragastric balloons are configured to prevent the
intragastric device from passing through the mammal's pylorus. The one or
more intragastric balloons are loaded onto a delivery tube in a partially
compacted first configuration and delivered through an overtube. The
overtube includes a proximal end, a distal end and a lumen configured to
receive the one or more intragastric balloons in the first configuration
for delivery into the gastric lumen wherein the one or more intragastric
balloons are expanded to a second configuration upon delivery of the foam
material. The foam material is delivered through an inflation tube
attached to an opening of the one or more intragastric balloons.
