Drawing 3D Stomach Structure

Hello,
I would like to plot a 3D structure representing the stomach. A sketch of what it should look like is here: http://thoracicsurgery.stanford.edu/patient_care/images/normal-stomach.jpg
Still, I do not need an accurate reproduction of the stomach. A rough one will do the job.
I tried looking into the patch function, but I could not find any suggestions for complex structures. The question is: can you provide me with an example of a similar 3D patch built using vertices and faces?
Thanks in advance.

doc trisurf
Note that you would still need the coordinates of the stomach surface. There goes one phrase I never thought I would type.
Never say never. Thanks for the fast answer, I will try right away.
Can you please give me an example of the use of trisurf (different from the one in the documentation)?
Hi, I found a possible solution to my problem. Here:
I found an elegant way of drawing the structure I need. Still, I would like the circles to have different centers, other than radii. How can I set up the code?
