Abstract: A bariatric device and procedure configured to control the amount of food and nutrients entering a person's duodenum and reduce the weight of the person, in one aspect, comprises a gastrostomy tube having a proximal end and a distal end; a feeding tube assembly, said assembly including a feeding tube having a proximal end and a distal end; a gastrostomy tube anchor for securing the distal end of said gastrostomy tube inside the stomach; and a first feeding tube anchor designed to be expanded after the pyloric sphincter so as to anchor the distal end of said feeding tube in the duodenum.

Abstract: Spill and contaminant resistant dispensers and measuring cap devices and methods for measuring and dispensing a desired amount of a bulk particulate, powdery, granular or viscous liquid substance from a storage container through a cap or a dispenser are provided. A dispenser and measuring cap is attached to a storage container or comprises an integral storage container. The dispenser and measuring cap has one or more measuring chamber ducts, each having a different predetermined volume. The measuring chamber ducts are selectively and separately operationally aligned with an internal funnel stem and a dispensing spout. A selected measuring chamber duct is filled with the substance by inverting the cap and attached container. A measured amount of the substance is captured and dispensed, and the unused portion of the substance retained in the storage container without exposure to outside contaminants or implements, by rotating the duct into operational alignment with the spout.
