An intragastric catheter provides satiety due to its presence in the stomach cavity. Tactile sensation by a plurality of fingers that extend from the device provides satiety. Normal peristaltic action upon the device provides movement of the fingers relative to the stomach wall, reducing the likelihood of ulceration or necrosis. The structure of the intragastric catheter reduces the level of precision required in placement of the device, and the likelihood of blockage of conduits to and from the stomach by the device is reduced.
