    Paul McKenna's Hypnotic Gastric Band

    I really want to try this band. I keep hovering over the book in the shops but in all honesty I am scared. Do you eat if you are hungry? What happens when you reach your target? How do you then stop losing weight? Do you eat enough food? enough calories?

    Group certificates?

    Really! Do you have to order certificates in bulk or do you get a selection of each weight loss? Do you mind me asking how much they cost? It seems silly that you have to pay for them but the others are free. You consultant's do a great job :) x
  127. I

    Group certificates?

    Totally understand that it's your business at the end of the day and like any business sometimes cuts need to be made. I just wish there was somewhere you could print your own certificates. I know it's silly but I was really looking forward to putting them on my fridge for motivation lol x
