Overweight people are losing up to 11lb a week by being hypnotised into thinking their stomach is the size of a GOLF BALL.
The pioneering treatment from the UK on trial at a GP's surgery, is said to have a 95 per cent success rate.
Clinical hypnotherapist Sheila Granger makes patients believe their tums have shrunk to less than two inches wide so they eat smaller portions. She said: "The initial results are promising, with one patient reporting weight loss of 11lbs in the first week. Others lost 2 to 3lbs."
Sheila has treated ten people on a month-long course at the Beverley and Moles-croft surgery in East Yorkshire. The treatment, normally £350, was provided free - but Sheila says it could save the NHS forking out for £8,000 gastric band ops. Hypnotherapy is not yet generally available on the NHS. But surgery GP Dr Guy Clayton said: "We are particularly interested in the potential to help patients with significant obesity."
The Department of Health said: "It is up to doctors locally to decide the best treatments for their patients."
The Sun told last week how Emma Eveleigh-Anderton, 36, lost four stone by being hypnotised into thinking she had a gastric band.

THE BEST WAY TO LOSE WEIGHT?
Some overweight people have been fitted with a “virtual gastric band” under hypnosis.
The Virtual Gastric Band procedure utilises the power of the mind convincing your stomach that is is the size of a golf ball. The procedure incorporates the power of hypnosis, cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT), and powerful visualisations to assist you with permanent weight loss. The hypnosis works directly with your subconscious mind resulting in re-training your relationship with food. You eat less, enjoy the flavours, make healthier food choices, enjoy exercise and drink more water.
Through the power of hypnosis your stomach will be shrunk to the size of a golf ball. Gastric band hypnosis is NOT A DIET. This procedure is a natural organic process whereby the subconscious mind naturally and effortlessly makes healthier choices. You will learn to listen to, and identify more easily to your body’s needs while being satisfied on much smaller amounts of food.
You will be required to attend weekly hypnotherapy over a four week period and follow some simple guidelines. During your sessions you will be supported with mind management CD to further assist in your weight loss.
