Please don't take anymore drastic surgical measures.
Sheila Granger is pioneering a weight loss programme, in the UK which incorporates the VIRTUAL gastric band. Conducted under hypnosis her methods offer a highly effective alternative to gastric/lap band surgery. With ZERO risk, it doesn't require a person to follow a liquidized diet and involves no invasive surgery.
A group trial proved the effectiveness of the VIRTUAL Gastric Band, achieving a 95% success rate amongst people of varying age and size.
Through hypnosis, the subconscious believes the body has undergone gastric surgery to reduce the stomach to the size of a golf ball. Therefore a person needs to eat less food before feeling satisfied, ensuring weight loss at a steady rate. The only thing a person has to lose with the VIRTUAL GASTRIC BAND is excess fat.
Deeply passionate about helping people, Sheila knows that hypnosis could save the NHS £Millions if they recognise it as a viable treatment for weight loss and other ailments. Sheila Granger, Hypnotist. Tel. 01482 870934.
