In2town has an excellent explanation of gastric band surgery as compared to surgery that seems to come from Claire Hegarty but that’s hard to say for sure as the text is unattributed and Hegarty’s name is not on the adverts on the page that take one to her site.

In any case, the article itself which discusses the nature of a gastric band and the numerous side effects at http://www.in2town.co.uk/Health-News-/Stomach-Band-Surgery-versus-Weight-Loss-Hypnosis is very much worth the read.

No, she is NOT advocated gastric band hypnosis which is a technique of hypnotizing someone so that their body feels as if they have had the surgery. Rather, her “new” approach is fairly standard weight loss hypnosis techniques.

The info is worth the read.
