1 HAVE YOU BEEN THINKING ABOUT: Lap Band Surgery? Gastric Sleeve Surgery? Gastric Bypass Surgery? Massive Weight Reduction? Losing 25 pounds or more? If you answered yes to any of these questions continue reading. Imagine experiencing a safe, natural way of losing weight without surgery, pills or gimmicks... Just imagine... a life of being slim! A New Weight Loss Process is taking the world by storm! How would it make you feel to have your dream of being slim come true? I am so excited because I am in the position of offering a few, very special people, the opportunity to be in the U.S. trial of a REVOLUTIONARY NEW TECHNIQUE for weight loss. This process, up until now, was only available in the United Kingdom. After intense training from the inventor of this amazing technique, Shimara Lovewell, I am able to offer it to a select few individuals at an introductory rate. The development of this technique has taken years of research, as well as practical experience in assisting clients to achieve weight reduction, without resorting to expensive surgical procedures. If you desire to lose weight for medical or nonmedical reasons and you answered yes to any of the questions above, you are a possible candidate for this technique.

2 Ask yourself the following questions. Why have gastric bypass surgery, when you can have safe weight reduction? Why have band surgery when you can do it all in your mind? Why have gastric surgery when you can be free of scars? Why have a surgery only to experience pain and time off from work? Why have surgery and spend $10,000 or more? If you are ready for a new way of living, to arrange for your initial consultation. With the NON-SURGICAL GASTRIC BYPASS TECHNIQUE, you experience lasting weight reduction. Imagine having a real program for change in which you use your mind and an appropriate diet plan. Imagine identifying and removing your emotional triggers for overeating and then taking the appropriate weight loss steps that lead to your success. How will you feel when you are at your ideal weight? Whatever your goals are for your life, reducing your weight is good for you. It is a relief to be able to reduce your weight using this revolutionary technique, thus avoiding the physical trauma, of surgery, to your body. Visualize seeing results after your first session and actually eating less without the brute force of will power. How does that idea make you feel? Be aware, this process is not for everyone. Therefore, you must complete a 20-minute consultation to determine if you are eligible for this amazing new technique. If accepted into the program, you will go through a thorough pre-op session that lasts about an hour. The total time needed for this procedure, because it is client focused, is on average, about six hours. ARE YOU READY? ARRANGE FOR YOUR INITIAL CONSULTATION NOW!

3 HOW THE NON-SURGICAL GASTRIC BYPASS TECHNIQUE WORKS This technique takes you through the mental process of a major operation. However, you are free of its complications or side effects. We have created a unique process that helps you stop wanting food that is bad for you and for wanting more food than your body requires. You will experience all the normal steps of a major operation; consultation, pre-op testing, fasting the evening before, the mental operation and the support you need as you progress in reducing your weight. THE ONLY DIFFERENCE IS - YOU DO IT IN YOUR MIND Your brain is an amazing organ and your mind is even more astounding. Even though you are not physically having the operation, your mind believes it is. It cannot tell the difference between actual events and your imagination. Because it is all in your mind, you do not have the complications of an anesthetic, or any side effects including possible infection. You can come to the mind operation yourself and leave two-three hours later on your own. Therefore, if you normally drive a car, you can do so, on this day as well. You must follow the diet as given, which is a slight modification of the normal recommended diet for all bypass patients. Throughout this process, we are available for advice, guidance and support. It is all very well to say "just eat less, cut out all the fat and sugary foods". You know as well as I do that it is just not that easy. We use the NON- SURGICAL GASTRIC BYPASS TECHNIQUE to help you feel fuller sooner and you stop wanting the foods that keep you overweight. Are you interested?

4 THE PROCEDURE Before the day of the NON-SURGICAL GASTRIC BYPASS TECHNIQUE, you will have a health exam by your doctor to record your weight, blood pressure, etc. We will have a pre-op discussion during which we explain what happens during your session. We will also go through the details of the operation again just before we begin and give you a reminder of the food and eating plan you will be following the next day and the following few months and then the rest of your life. What do you receive in your NON-SURGICAL GASTRIC BYPASS TECHNIQUE PACKAGE? 1. One 20-minute evaluation session (complimentary) 2. One 1-hour pre-op session ($200) 3. One 2 to 3 hour NON-SURGICAL GASTRIC BYPASS TECHNIQUE ($600) 4. 1 individual 30 minute session each month for 6 months ($600 value) 5.
