The method according to claim 10, wherein the step of fixating said stretching device comprises the steps of: a. fixating a first portion of said stretching device to a first portion of said stomach wall, andb. fixating a second portion of said stretching device to a second portion of said stomach wall. 12. The method according to claim 11, wherein the step of fixating said first and second portion of said stretching device comprises the steps of invaginating said first portion of the stretching device in said first portion of the stomach wall, and said second portion of the stretching device in said second portion of the stomach wall, by means of with stomach to stomach sutures or staplers. 13. The method according to claim 10, wherein said device is a first stretching device and said portion of the stomach wall is a first portion of the stomach wall, said method comprising the additional steps of: a. placing a second stretching device adapted to actively stretch a second portion of the stomach wall in contact with the second portion of the stomach wall,b. fixating said second stretching device to the second portion of the stomach wall,c. stretching said first portion of the stomach wall using said first stretching device, andd. stretching the second portion of the stomach wall using said second stretching device. 14. The method according to claim 10, wherein said method further comprises the steps of: a. inserting a gastroscope into the stomach of the patient,b. pushing a portion of said stomach wall to prepare a pouch protruding from the stomach wall,c. inserting said stretching device into said pouch, placed on the inside of the stomach wall,d. suturing or stapling to enclose said stretching device in said pouch. 15. The method according to claim 1, wherein said method further comprises the steps of: a. inserting a gastroscope into the stomach of the patient,b. pulling a portion of said stomach wall to prepare a pouch surrounded by said stomach wall,c. creating a hole in said stomach wall into said pouch,d. inserting said stretching device into said pouch, through said hole in the stomach walle. suturing or stapling said pouch, before or after the insertion of the stretching device through said hole. 16. The method according to claim 10, wherein said method comprises the additional step of postoperatively and non-invasively regulating said stretching device to stretch said portion of said stomach wall to affect the appetite of the patient. 17. The method according to claim 16, wherein the step of postoperatively and non-invasively regulating said stretching device to actively stretch said portion of said stomach wall comprises the step of increasing the distance between a first portion of said stomach wall and a second portion of said stomach wall. 18.
