Abstract

A removable gastric band (1) is provided which can be used to control obesity by allowing control and/or modification of the diameter of a patient's stomach. More specifically, the present removable gastric band (1) comprises an elongated body (3) having a first or distal zone (30), a second or middle zone (32), a third or proximal zone (34) and a closure mechanism (2), wherein the closure mechanism (2) allows the elongated body (3) to close around a portion of the stomach, preferably the proximal tract of the stomach, wherein the closure mechanism (2) comprises at least one aperture (5) in the first zone (3) and a button (6) in the second zone (32), and where the button (6) can be inserted into the aperture (5) to close the elongated body (3) around, and hold it to, the portion of the stomach. The removable gastric band (1) can be easily paired with the use of a gastric electrostimulator (100) and may be useful, therefore, for inducing forced slimming in the initial phase of treatment for morbigenous obesity. Such electrostimulation devices may either be incorporated into the removable gastric band (1) or located at a distance from the removable gastric band.(1)
