Even though the results of the surgery have been more or less successful, the undesirable side effects mar the sense of jubilation for the patients. Common problems the patients face are food regurgitation and nausea. This coupled with long waiting for surgery, expensive price tag, and strict eligibility criteria have forced people to look for alternatives to surgery. Hypnotherapy has emerged as a viable option in this regard.

You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time.
