Hypnosis Band weight wellness programs vs. scripts

There are numerous hypnotists advertising on the web that they are doing Hypnosis Gastric bands for weight loss.  I am curious about the experience of hypnotists with those that are complete multi-weeks programs versus those that are just a few scripts of a mock surgery session under hypnosis.  When I looked at just using scripts and working with clients during a validation trial, I experienced that a more complete program was needed. That's when I researched and assembled a program that includes nutrition, changing food preferences, medical validation (Mayo Clinic) of a realistic rate of weight reduction, and replacing childhood programming. I am now interested in getting some medical research to compare the program to actual gastric band surgery and publish the results. 

A good question is how will this compare to something shorter with just a few scripts, like the Hypno-Band program.

Do any of you know how to proceed to link up with medical researchers to fund and do this study?

How well are just the scripts working for any of you?
