A food intake restriction device for forming a stoma opening in the stomach or esophagus of a patient, comprises a band (27), and means (41, 43) for forming a loop of the band defining a restriction opening. The band (27) comprises a single elongated closed tubing (29) which is devoid of any longitudinally extending reinforcement means at least along a substantial longitudinal portion of the tubing. Means (35) are provided for inflating and deflating the tubing to adjust the size of said restriction opening. Preferably, the tubing (29) is elastic, whereby the band (27) is extensible.

Cette bande (27) comprend un tube fermé, simple, de forme allongée (29), dépourvu de moyens renforçateurs s'étendant longitudinalement, au moins le long d'une portion longitudinale importante du tube. Des moyens (35) sont montés pour gonfler et dégonfler le tube, afin de régler la dimension de l'ouverture de restriction. De préférence, ce tube (29) est élastique, et donc la bande (27) est extensible.
