May I ask why you'd like to have your omentum removed? I know most people think of it as being only a fatty blanket, but it's more than that. It serves a very important immune function. In addition, it's a big help in 'walling off' site of problems in the case of infections, etc.

Studies have shown that by removing the omentum, insulin resistance is reduced or eliminated. Once that happens, overall health will improve, and medications may be reduced.
