The woman managed to lose weight by more than 25 kg after she was told during a hypnosis session that she had an operation to apply a gastric bandage, says the Daily Telegraph.

Marion Corns, a thirty-five-year-old mother of three children from Wiston, Merseyside (UK) decided to seek help from a hypnotherapist when her weight reached 98 kg (15 stone 6 pounds). Before that, she seemed to have tried all possible ways to get rid of excess weight: she sat on a variety of diets, took diet pills and even hired a personal trainer. Nothing helped.

At the Elite Clinic in Marbella, Spain, Mrs. Cornz was taken for five sessions of ? 780. During these sessions, she was put into a hypnosis state and told about each stage of the operation to apply a gastric bandage. Cornz seemed to be lying on the operating table and even smells an anesthetic. Then she was told that now, after the operation, her stomach is no more than a golf ball, and she can eat only very small portions.

After treatment with hypnosis, the lady began to lose 3 pounds (1.3 kg) per week, as she does not lose the feeling that a bandage is applied to her stomach. In just four months, she lost more than 25 kg (11 stone 7 pounds), and the size of clothing decreased from 22 to 14.

This new way to fight overweight is likely to be attractive to so many people. The National Health Service (NHS) suggests that patients suffering from obesity undergo gastric banding surgery, but the gastric bandage has many side effects. Now, such patients will be able to achieve the desired weight loss without surgery. However, after treatment, they should receive qualified dietary advice, as well as know what weight is ideal for them, says Around the World.
