Hypnotherapy: Gastric band

Well, not just just but this morning just.
In an attempt to aid my improving excercise regime, earlier today a colleague of mine offered to provide a hypnotherapy 'gastric band'.
I'm a fairly open-minded cynic, and wasn't expecting much. This was 'clinical' hypnotherapy btw, and for the gastric band treatment you could be shelling out a £100 or so. It works like this; you position yourself somewhere comfortable (I was on a beanbag) and then the therapist reads through a script as your drift in and out. This script, being the gastric band variety, was specifically aimed towards portion sizes and junk food.
Anyway, that was this morning and it would appear to be pretty powerful stuff. I've not snacked on anything and (i'm struggling to even type this tbh) the thought of fast food/junk food creates a pain and sick feeling akin to having a build up of gas. I've also got a disgusting taste in my mouth which only makes an appearance when I'm talking about this.
There is a follow-up session next week, so I'll report back if it is still 'working' but for now I'm curious to see how this is going to pan out. The obvious goal is to lose weight and I know being a male i'm probably ripe for a piss-taking about this, but hey-if it works..
