After reading so many positive feedbacks I went to Spain and payed 1000 Euro. It didn't work for me at all. I did Paul McKenna's "I can make you thin" before, the book was cheap and I have friends who lost weight with Paul's book & CD. All I did was falling asleep and I couldn't remember a thing, so I was surprised that I didn't fall asleep at all in Spain. Marion (the hypnotherapist) said that it doesn't matter if I don't fall asleep, it's my brain which takes the information. I found the whole gastric mind band confusing, Marion's husband Martin who's also a hynotherapist (and yes, he put weight back on and doesn't look that slim anymore like on their webside, but I have to mention he has a drinking problem and behaved more like a pub owner) suggested that I should starve myself the next two days so that I know how hunger feels. I was hungry and it hurt, he said to me that the pain is positive. I don't want to live with pain. Marion then weighted an apple and said that the apple has 98 kal and that this is to much. During the "operation" I did hear the surgery noises but unfortunately at the same time I heard Marion's recorded voice. Talking about eating less. While I was there an American film team turned up and I was told that if I lose weight I could earn lots of money with giving interviews in magazines or on tv like at The One Show. Honestly, save your money and try Paul McKenna, she did tell me exactly the same like he did (eat slow, enjoy what you eat, stop when you aren't hungry anymore,...). If his book doesn't work with you at least you saved more than 1000 Euro (just think of the flight and hotel too). Hope I could help I’ve had a gastic mind band.

I'm leaving my husband and two children behind and going by myself, so it's also a mini-break which I'm looking forward to. I am one of those people who has tried every diet going, have a terrible relationship with food and Martin is the first person I've spoken to that appears to understand how I feel. I'm not terribly over-weight, I'd like to lose about 1 stone. It's hard to say exactly how much I want to lose as I've crept into middle-age and my body has changed! However, I do go to the gym regularly and that's just not getting rid of the extra pounds. So keep your fingers crossed for me please and I'll get back to this website and let you know how it's going. Regards, Ruth G in Germany Hi there

As humans we don't even use a tenth of our brain power yet. Why not use the power of hypnosis to suggest a gastric band has been fitted. I think it is an absolutely wonderful and far less risky way of losing weight if it works. I'll be doing some additional research on this matter. I really find it terribly hard to lose weight and am a candidate for weight loss surgery, but I am too scared of the complications. I really hope there is something to this...

Losing weight by having a Gastric Mind Band fitted is just a step too far in my opinion, but it is good for a laugh! Keep going. By the way, I love the food journal and have e-mailed the link to my friends and a number of them started tracking their weight and calories using the system.
