  • Method for treating obesity by extracting food
    Patent number: 7740624
    Abstract: To treat obesity, a tube is positioned that passes through a patient's abdominal wall into the upper digestive system of the patient. The patient is allowed to carry out his/her everyday affairs including ingesting food. After the patient has ingested food, the food is extracted by pumping it out of the upper digestive system through the tube.
