Why should the blood going away from stomach and intestine pass through liver and not directly to heart?

The liver detoxifies the blood, synthesises protines, and produces biochemicals for digestion.

What sqeezes food toward the stomach?
First of all squeezes is the wrong word to use. What you should be saying is how is food digested through the stomach. It goes like this first it is the mouth, then the teeth chew whilst the salivary glands make chemical changes occur to the food. Then it goes to the Esophagus, then through the Liver, then the stomach, then the gall bladder, then the Pancreas, then the Large Intestine, then the Small Intestine, and then the Anus.

Yes, I believe the left side of the stomach should be larger. This is where the bulge of the stomach lies. Also, the large intestine extends posteriorly to the rectum on the left side of the body.

Where is pyloric sphincter located?
Pyloric sphincter is located at the base of the stomach and is the contracting ring of muscle which guards the entrance of the to small intestine.It keeps the stomach shut at the far end so that it has a chance to digest proteins, then it opens and allows the contents of the stomach, now called chyme, to pass through the pyloric sphincter and enter the small intestine; the first section is called the duodenum and it does the majority of digestion and some absorption.It controls the emptying of chyme into duodenum.

What is gastric-bypass surgery?
Gastric bypass surgery makes the stomach smaller and allows food to bypass part of the small intestine. You will feel full more quickly than when your stomach was its original size, which reduces the amount of food you eat and thus the calories consumed. Bypassing part of the intestine also results in fewer calories being absorbed, which also leads to weight loss. The most common gastric bypass surgery is a Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RNY). In normal digestion, food passes through the stomach and enters the small intestine, where most of the nutrients and calories are absorbed. It then passes into the large intestine (colon), and the remaining waste is eventually excreted.In a Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery, the stomach is made smaller by creating a small pouch at the top of the stomach using surgical staples or a plastic band. The smaller stomach is connected directly to the middle portion of the small intestine (jejunum), bypassing the rest of the stomach and the upper portion of the small intestine (duodenum). This procedure can be done by making a large incision in the abdomen (an open procedure) or by making a small incision and using small instruments and a camera to guide the surgery (laparoscopic approach). The average cost for the gastric bypass procedure ranges from $18,000 to $35,000 if your insurance does not cover it. However you should think of having this surgery abroad it is much cheaper in reputable hospitals in Mexico, Costa Rica and elsewhere.
