Abstract: A gastric bypass device includes an occlusion device that is adapted to be deployed relative to a patient's pyloric sphincter and a liner that extends distally from the occlusion device. A tether extends from the occlusion device. A dynamic leash may be secured relative to the occlusion device and may work in conjunction with the tether to help hold the occlusion device in place.

Abstract: A gastric bypass device includes an occlusion device that is adapted to be deployed relative to a patient's pyloric sphincter, an anastomosis anchor that is adapted to be deployed relative to an anastomosis between the patient's stomach and their small intestine, and a tether that extends through the patient's small intestine between the occlusion device and the anastomosis anchor. A dynamic leash may be secured relative to the occlusion device and may work in conjunction with the tether to help hold the occlusion device in place. The gastric bypass device may be deployed using a variety of methods including a push-pull wire method, a rail method, a garage method, a two-piece method and a comprehensive method.

Abstract: A wearable device for the purpose of measuring expansion of the abdominal cavity as it relates to an end-user's breathing. The device is comprised of a belt with a sensing mechanism that interfaces with an electronics box. The electronics box communicates wirelessly with a phone application, which prompts the user to choose a variety of variables so that each breathing session is customized to their breathing needs. The belt measures the physical expansion of the user's abdomen in real-time, while the application offers real-time data displayed in various engaging graphical interfaces. The belt includes a first and second inextensible belt portion with an extensible belt portion disposed between. The belt includes a belt expansion measuring device configured to measure a length of the extensible belt portion and produce an electronic signal that corresponds to the length of the extensible belt portion and thereby the expansion of the user's abdomen.
