Gastric mind band helps mum
Marion underwent the hypnotherapy in Spain last August when she was living there.
They began with preparation sessions without hypnosis, using a real model of a stomach and a real surgical gastric band to familiarise Marion with the forthcoming 'op'.
In the hypnosis sessions she was told to touch the same tummy model and band as her mind was tricked into thinking she was undergoing the procedure.
Computer-driven equipment pumped a range of aromas into the room to mimic the smells of a hospital ward, operating theatre and even the recovery room.
There was also a recording of surgical tools being picked up and put down playing in the background.
Marion started losing weight after the fourth session — the first with full hypnosis — and after the fifth she began to feel a tightening sensation in her stomach.
