Woman Loses Over 150 Lbs After Being Hypnotized Into Thinking She Had Surgery

A 46-year-old woman lost over 150 pounds after being hypnotized into believing she had been fitted with a gastric band.

Janice Rogers had weighed an overwhelming 255 pounds and became desperate to find a solution.

Rogers had trawled the Internet looking for a solution to her problem, and when she looked up weight loss surgery she stumbled upon a website about a “virtual band” treatment that hypnotizes people into believing their stomach has shrunk in size, according to the Daily Mail.

She said she even started going to Zumba classes with her friends, but nothing seemed to work.

She said she didn’t want to tell anybody because she felt “like a fool” but she was desperate to shed her pounds.
