1. A surgical or laparoscopic method of treating obesity of a patient using a device adapted to be non-invasively operated for actively stretching a portion of the stomach wall of said patient, the device comprising a first portion adapted to be fixated to a first area of the stomach wall of the patient, a second portion adapted to be fixated to a second area of the stomach wall of the patient, and a non-invasive operation device connected to the first and second portions and adapted to actively and non-invasively operate to move the first and second portions away from each other to thereby actively stretch the stomach wall between the first and second area of the stomach, the method comprising the steps of: cutting a hole in the abdominal wall of said patient using a surgical cutting instrument,dissecting an area around the stomach using surgical dissection instrument,placing said device in the abdomen of the patient,fixating said first portion to the first area of the stomach wall of the patient,fixating said second portion to the second area of the stomach wall of the patient, andusing said device to actively and non-invasively stretch the stomach wall between the first and second area by operating said operation device to move said first portion away from said second portion to thereby increase the distance between said first and second portion, such that a feeling of satiety is created. 2. The surgical or laparoscopic method according to claim 1, wherein said device further comprises a subcutaneous switch connected to said operation device, and wherein the method further comprises placing the subcutaneous switch subcutaneously in the patient. 3. The surgical or laparoscopic method according to claim 1, wherein said method further comprises the step of implanting a sensor for sensing a variable related to the patient eating, said sensor being directly or indirectly connected to the operation device. 4. The surgical or laparoscopic method according to claim 3, wherein said method further comprises the step of: (a) sensing a variable using the implantable sensor,(b) interpreting said sensed variable,(c) using said interpreted variable to control the operation of the operation device to automatically and non-invasively stretch a portion of the stomach wall. 5. The surgical or laparoscopic method according to claim 1, wherein the step of cutting a hole in the abdominal wall in the skin comprises: inserting a tube or needle into the patient's body,filling the body through the tube or needle with a gas and thereby expanding a cavity within the patient's body,inserting at least one camera through at least one laparoscopic trocar, andinserting at least one dissecting tool through at least one laparoscopic trocar. 6. The surgical or laparoscopic method according to claim 1, wherein the device further comprises a third portion connected to said operation device, and adapted to be fixated to a third area of the stomach wall of the patient, and wherein the method further comprises: fixating said first portion to said first area of the stomach wall of the patient,actively and non-invasively stretching the stomach wall between said third area and one of said first and second area by operating said operation device to move said third portion away from at least one of said first and second portion, such that a feeling of satiety is created. 7. The surgical or laparoscopic method according to claim 1, further comprising the step of operating the operation device to; at a first time stretch the stomach wall between the first and second areas,at a second time stretch the stomach wall between the second and a third area, andat a third time stretch the stomach wall between the first and a third areas. 8. The surgical or laparoscopic method of claim 1, comprising at least one of: fixating said first portion to said first area of the stomach wall of the patient by invaginating, at least partially, the first portion in the stomach wall at the first area, andfixating said second portion to said second area of the stomach wall of the patient by invaginating, at least partially, the first portion in the stomach wall at the second area. 9. The surgical or laparoscopic method of claim 8, wherein the step of invaginating the first or second portion in the stomach wall comprises suturing or stapling stomach to stomach. 10. The surgical or laparoscopic method according to claim 1, further comprising the step of implanting at least one of; an internal energy source, anda wireless energy receiver for non-invasively energizing the operable stretching device. 11. The surgical or laparoscopic method according to claim 1, comprising at least one of: fixating said first portion to said first area of the stomach wall of the patient by fixating said first portion to the stomach wall in an area of the fundus, andfixating said second portion to said second area of the stomach wall of the patient by fixating said second portion to the stomach wall in an area of the fundus. 12. The surgical or laparoscopic method according to claim 1, comprising at least one of: fixating said first portion to said first area of the stomach wall of the patient by placing a tissue growth promoting structure connected to said first portion, in connection with the stomach wall at the first area, andfixating said second portion to said second area of the stomach wall of the patient by placing a tissue growth promoting structure connected to said second portion, in connection with the stomach wall at the second area. 13. The surgical or laparoscopic method according to claim 1, further comprising placing a receiver of wireless energy, adapted to be directly or indirectly connected to the operation device, subcutaneously in, the patient. 14. The surgical or laparoscopic method according to claim 1, further comprising placing an internal data communicator, adapted to wirelessly communicate with an external data communicator, subcutaneously in the patient. 15. The surgical or laparoscopic method according to claim 1, wherein said operation device is a hydraulic operation device, and wherein the method further comprises implanting a hydraulic pump in fluid connection with said operation device. 16. The surgical or laparoscopic method according to claim 15, further comprising placing a fluid reservoir in fluid connection with the hydraulic pump, in the abdomen of the patient. 17. The surgical or laparoscopic method according to claim 16, wherein operating said operation device comprises moving fluid from the fluid reservoir to the operation device using said hydraulic pump.
