Have you considered the Gastric Band?

Well — think again, because now you can achieve the same or better results using the Virtual Gastric Band!

Hello, my name is Sara Oppenheim-Somerville. I am a Consulting Hypnotist, with Medical Hypnosis training. I am a member of the National Guild of Hypnotists, and the International Association of Counselors & Therapists. I have been in practice in NY since 2003, with offices in Ossining, White Plains and Penn Station. I specialize in helping my clients lose weight.

I trained in New York City with Sheila Granger, who developed the Virtual Gastric Band procedure. This procedure has been proven to be 95% successful and Sheila has the results to prove it! In two trials that were run in England (one of which had the backing of the National Health Service) the astounding results received international press coverage. I trained with a select group of practitioners in this country and we are now helping our US clients to achieve the results that they have only longed for in the past.

What is involved?

• One hour of your time, once a week, for four consecutive weeks
• Listening to a short CD once or twice a day for 28 days
• 8 Simple Rules
• A desire to achieve the shape and size that you never thought possible.

Just how safe is it?

Back in the 50’s the American Medical Association stated that there were no adverse effects associated with hypnosis. There are absolutely no negative side effects from hypnosis, but there are many that are associated with the Gastric Band Surgery, including: abdominal pain, nausea and/or vomiting, gastro-esophageal reflux, and band slippage/pouch dilatation. In the LAP-BAND System U.S. clinical trial, 89% of subjects reported at least one adverse event.

How much does it cost?

We are extending our special promotion of just $660 for the entire program ($800 in Manhattan). Similar programs are charging $1200!

“All my life I've had a severe addition to sweets and have never been able to say 'no' to dessert. For the very first time ever, I have been able to turn down the sweets! That horrible craving is gone. I find that I can still enjoy myself without having them.”
Mary P.

“VGB has helped me gain the control I needed to achieve my weight loss goals. Food is no longer my way of dealing with stress. Relaxation and working out have replaced all the binge eating. I've lost 2 dress sizes and can't wait to lose more — the healthy way.”
