Has anyone used hypnotherapy for weight loss ?

[namechangeforanonymity]

I have zero will power and have eaten my way to being seriously overweight.

I start diets only to lose will power after about 2 weeks max.

Nothing seems to be working and after hearing that a friend finally managed to quit smoking with the help of hypnotherapy sessions, I'm wondering if it might help.

Has anyone had any positive experiences with hypnotherapy for weight loss, or negative experiences for that matter. I was considering the gastric band type course of sessions.

I'm not looking to be skinny, just to get down to a healthy BMI.
