A process for treating obesity and/or related motor disorders by providing electrostimulation to one or more anatomical sphincters along the length of the gastrointestinal tract is provided. The present process provides improved control of obesity and other syndromes related to motor disorders of the stomach and/or gastrointestinal tract. Preferably, the present method is used in combination with electrostimulation of the stomach (preferably along the lesser curvature), and even more preferably in combination with electrostimulation of the lower or distal end of the lesser curvature (i.e., towards the pylorus) of the stomach. The process comprises artificially altering, using sequential electrical pulses for preset periods of time, the natural gastric motility of the patient to slow food transit through the digestive system.
