Zusammenfassung:A method of installing a bariatric clamp onto a stomach of a body including inserting the bariatric clamp into the body through an opening in the body, positioning a first elongated member of the bariatric clamp on a first side of the stomach, and positioning a second elongated member of the bariatric clamp on a second side of the stomach while the bariatric clamp is in an open position, and closing and securing the bariatric clamp into a closed position around the stomach to form a partitioned portion of the stomach with a partition-forming section of the bariatric clamp, and to form a fluid passage within the stomach with a passage-forming portion of the bariatric clamp such that when the bariatric clamp is placed on the stomach in the closed position, the stomach is not fully occluded.
