摘要:
A gastric banding system is provided which generally includes a gastric band and an active agent, for example, a metabolic agent or satiety inducing agent. The band may be structured to contain the agent and permit controlled release of the agent to the patient while the band is positioned around the stomach. Methods for treating obesity are also provided which include positioning a gastric band on the stomach of a patient and administering a satiety inducing agent to the patient while the gastric band is positioned on the stomach. In one embodiment, the active agent may be contained in a reservoir and dispensed to a portion of the patient's body.
