Current surgical treatment causes “another increases - this has been demonstrated as taking part disease” to counterbalance obesity. Some techniques in the mechanism of hunger(14). High ghrelin levels are result in malabsorption, yet unspecific, leading to loss not a common cause of obesity since it was demonstrated of non-caloric nutrients, such as calcium, iron, folic that obese individuals present low levels of this acid, etc., and to diarrhea(1). Some procedures pose hormone. However in case of significant weight loss, obstacles to ingestion of food, and others use prosthesis the levels of ghrelin raise, resulting in hunger and, that may cause subocclusions(2), and consequently, probably, contributing in gaining weight again(15).

PAI-1 is produced by visceral fat tissue, mainly the We searched new surgical alternatives, which could be omentum and mesenteric fat(16-18). Procedures causing easy to perform, require no exclusion of any segment, decrease in PAI-1 levels have already been demonstrated prevent endoscopic blind areas, avoid strangling prosthesis as improving metabolic profile and reducing cardiovascular and cause no subocclusions. Moreover, the technique should avoid malabsorption and above all, not harm Resistin: It is clear today that adipose tissue is an

muscle myocytes, hepatocytes, and adipocytes, reducing hormone released by the enteroendocrine L-cells of their sensitivity to insulin; thus, it is related to the gut in response to food ingestion. GLP-1 increases diabetes(21-22). Abdominal fat is the main source of both insulin secretion and insulin gene expression and growth of pancreatic beta-cells(4-6). GLP-1 is secreted Visceral obesity: Abdominal fat tissue was clearly
mainly by the distal intestine and the nutrients that related to the so-called plurimetabolic syndrome. The reach this point are a major stimulus to release this waist/hip ratio has been used to quantify cardiovascular risk and many epidemiological studies have indicated GLP-1 is a potent agent that could improve or even its relation with high blood pressure, hypertriglyceridemia, cure type II diabetes(4,8). When obese diabetic patients insulin resistance and arterial thrombosis. Visceral fat are submitted to biliopancreatic diversion (Scopinaro is insulin-resistant and therefore releases free fatty acids Technique)(9), the ileogastric anastomosis provides (FFA) to the portal system. It is believed that insulin nutrients straight into the ileum and just after the resistance of the liver derives from a relative increase operation, and diabetes is markedly improved or cured in delivery of FFA from the omental fat depot to the before patients lose any significant weight. Efficient liver (via portal vein)(24). Many extreme obese patients production of GLP-1 is thought to cause this major have quite good metabolic profile because they have mostly subcutaneous fat. Except for orthopedic and GLP-1 also has other important actions. It inhibits respiratory complications, as well as reflux, most metabolic gastric emptying(7) and crosses the blood-brain barrier complications of obesity are related to visceral fat.

nutrients reach the distal intestine, GLP-1 is produced, Primitive diet was raw, full of poorly digestible fiber increasing the release of insulin and delaying gastric and very hypocaloric. The stomachs had to be big emptying and causing central satiety.

Moreover, it in order to take and process more food and to be stimulates gastric acid secretion, and can induce excess efficient and not loose nutrients. However, the human adipose tissue by activating a central mechanism to diet has deeply changed in few centuries. Fire control Digestive adaptation: A new surgical proposal to treat obesity made food more digestible. Agriculture gave us some a midgut enterectomy that leaves 150 cm of proximal abundance and increased the amount of carbohydrates.

A detailed informed consent was signed by restaurants, cookies, and the other goodies of patients, and it stated weight loss could not be predicted civilization have represented a very quick change that our digestive system and our eating instincts could not Modern diet is hypercaloric, poor in fiber and easy to absorb.

The first step is tends to absorb less nutrients, and this reduces to release the great omentum from the colon. The production of GLP-1. Indeed, it was noticed that gastric fundus is released by cutting the short gastric diabetic(25) and obese people(26) have reduced postprandial vessels with a harmonic scalpel. Later, the gastroepiploic arcade is interrupted at 6 cm proximal to the pylorus.
It has also been shown that obese individuals tend Gastroepiploic vessels will remain intact in the antrum.

This fact until the duodenum by the lesser curvature. A linear probably contributes to smaller amounts of nutrients cutting stapler is used in order to resect the gastric reaching the distal bowel, implying in less signaling of fundus and most of the gastric body, leaving a gastric tube of 3 to 4 cm of diameter in the lesser curvature Nature now performs what it does best - selection.

The duodenum and theproximal intestine have functions different from thedistal gut. Some current techniques to treat obesity resect or exclude the pylorus (Scopinaro´s biliopancreaticbypass(9), Fobi(28) or Capella(29) Roux-en-Y gastric bypass).
In biliopancreatic bypass, using Scopinaro´s technique or the Duodenal Switch technique(30), the entire proximalintestine is excluded and the procedure may causeunspecific malabsorption that leads to nutritional deficiencies(1). In gastric bypass, most of the stomach isexcluded. Other techniques involve no exclusion but maycause subocclusion, such as gastric banding(2).
In our point of view, the several digestive functions are essential, even to obese patients. However, we knowthat the gastric capacity is bigger than what modern diet requires(31). Even the intestines are too long tomodern diet(32). Therefore, we propose a vertical gastricresection (similar to the extensively used “Duodenal Switch” technique)(30,33) associated to omentectomy and Figure 1. Diagram of partial gastric resection
