The Hypno-Band could change your life forever.

Imagine having the results usually achieved by having a surgical Gastric Band fitted but not having to go through surgery, and spending thousands of pounds!

A surgical Gastric Band works by reducing the size of the stomach and therefore you eat smaller portions and feel full. Through this method is is possible to lose weight easily. The surgical method does have drawbacks however.

It is very costly, typically costing £4000 to £6000 and of course you will need to go through a surgical procedure.

Lose Weight and Keep it off !!
