Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Treatment: Devices - Intraband pressure recording system
Other interventions - Conventional Adjustment

Active comparator: Conventional Adjustment Group - Subject whose band adjustments will be made via conventional standard of care (e.g., volume, hunger).

Active comparator: Intraband Pressure Arm - Subjects whose band adjustments will be guided by intraband pressure readings.


Treatment: Devices: Intraband pressure recording system
Intraband pressure will be measured by a pressure recording system.

Other interventions: Conventional Adjustment
Band adjustments will be made via conventional standard of care (e.g., volume, hunger).

* Be at least 18 years of age at time of trial enrollment.
* Had a pre-implantation BMI between 35 and 55 kg/m2.

Summary
Brief summary
The purpose of this protocol is to determine how band fill volumes that are based on intraband pressure readings can influence the comfortability of the band and to compare weight loss with this methodology to weight loss with the conventional approach recommended in existing product labeling.
