Sadly, the only place I know that does it is in Fuengirola (Spain). That would be okay if it was a one-off, but you have to attend 4 sessions. The final session is the "operation" where they hypnotise you in a pseudo surgical setting. They pump in a clinical smell and have sounds of surgical instruments etc in the background.

Apparently your body reacts the same as if you have actually had the surgery. Safer, and only £800. Knowing me, my canny brain wouldn't believe it though, making it £800 loss rather than the 100lbs I want to shift.
What if you paid in pennies?
