Hypno-Band for weight loss in Loughton Chgiwell, Essex

 

Gastric Band Hypnotherapy

The growing public interest in Gastric Bands and Gastric Bypass Surgery also known as Stomach Band surgery has increased over the past few years, with celebrities and the national press highlighting the lengths people will go to to help them lose weight.

For clients that are in the category of obese with a high body mass index, current methods of weight loss could mean a long and drawn out programme to help them acheive their goals. For some, more drastic action might be their intention. Many turn to surgery and the likes of stapling or gastric band surgery. But its also very expensive. A quick search on google will show you that on average, such surgery costs between £4000 - £7500 privately and NHS waiting times are long. With surgery come the inevitable risks such as:

  • infection
  • pain
  • sickness 
  • clots or DVT
  • problems with the band (slippage, blockage)
  • problems with digestion, nausea, indegestion
  • damage to other organs
  • recovery time

Hypno-Band Weight Loss System

But there is an alternate and cheaper option for you and that's a Virtual Gastric Band or 'Hypno-Band'. The Hypno-Band is a revolutionary new weight loss system designed for those who are obese and have a high body mass index. Designed and owned by John Maclean of Newwave Hypnotherapy, I am one of a few practitioners licensed by him to deliver his approach in Essex. You may have heard of it in others ways like Gastric Band Hypnotherapy.

 What is it?

Firstly its not a 'magic bullet', you won't lose lots of weight overnight, nor is it heatlhy or ethical for me to encourage that. You must be fully committed to making significant lifestyle and behavioural changes in order to be successful. More importantly, these changes must be in place AND starting to help you to lose weight before we consider the moving onto the hypnotic gastric band surgery. 

Normal Gastric Band Surgery works by reducing the size of the stomach so you eat less and therefore get full quicker, or in others words, the stomach tells the brain that its full with less food. Hypno- Band works in the same but at an unconcious level without the need for surgery. By combining the Hypno-Band Hypnotherapy System with a new attitude to eating and exercise, we create a state of mind where you will believe you actually have a gastric band fitted, but more importantly we educate you to eat smaller portions, eat more healthily, feel full quickly and become fitter. Its a long term solution to weight management, that allows you to lose weight steadily and safely using hypnotherapy.

How does it work?

 

Before we employ the actual Hypno Band procedure, a full understanding is built up of how your weight has affected your life up to now.This system has been enhanced for you with the added emphasis on ensuring that any limiting beliefs, emotional blocks, or historical influences that have led to your weight issues are identified and dealt first and foremost using Cognitive Hypnotherapy, NLP and Time Line Therapy before the Hypno-Band process is employed (and this will be discussed with you during the Initial free consultation). This will be carried out over one or two sessions.

 

If you are ready and suitable, we then take you through our Hypno Band weight loss program which  begins with changes to your eating behaviours, lifestyle changes and implementing an exercise plan. As long as there is evidence that you have started to lose weight following these initial sessions, you will have a virtual gastric band fitted to reinforce our earlier work. By using suggestion and visualisation your mind will be convinced that your stomach has become smaller and that you need less food. By eating less, and less often, you will begin to lose weight. The process uses Hypnotherapy and Cognitive Behavioural Techniques to help you achieve your ideal weight and stay there!

 

Each session in the Hypno-Band system lasts for about an hour and before beginning the process a full and free 30 minute assessment will be carried out to assess your suitability, including permission from your doctor if necessary.

 

The HYPNO-BAND weight loss system comprises of a free 30 minute initial consultation and then if your suitable, 4-6 one hour sessions plus mp3 recordings which you use for reinforcement (the initial free consultation can be merged into session one if appropriate). The number of sessions will vary according to each client.

 

IMPORTANT NOTE: Please ensure you have access to a CD player, or MP3 player/Ipod to play your recordings on before you commence your sessions.

 

FAQ's

Does it involve surgery?

No! the HYPNO-BAND system is a non-invasive behaviour changing method using the techniques of hypnotherapy and cognitive behavioural therapy.

On the contrary. The HYPNO-BAND procedure is extremely relaxing and pleasurable.

No. There are no side effects associated with undergoing this procedure.

 

So it's safe?

Yes! the HYPNO-BAND system is perfectly safe.

 

Will I be under the hypnotherapist’s control?

Never. No hypnotherapist can make you do anything you do not want to do nor make you behave in a way you would not normally behave.

 

Am I suitable for the HYPNO-BAND weight loss system?

It might not be the right choice or suitable for everyone which is why i offer a free 30 minute consultation to start with, and if appropriate we can proceed. Small weight loss of 1-3 stones is better dealt with by my standard approach (explained here). If you are over-weight  (obese and a BMI of 30+, or those with a BMI of between 30-40 with a condition that poses a serious health risk) and really want and are committed to losing weight then you should be suitable. The only exception would be if there is a physiological reason for your weight problems or if you are taking certain medications. You must als be able to undertake some form of exercise to ensure success.There must also be evidence of behavioural change and weight loss for the Hypno Band Procedure to take place.

 

Will it work for me?

THE KEY TO SUCCESS IS YOU! No weight loss system will work unless you are fully committed to losing weight. You must be prepared to change your eating habits and lifestyle, undertake exercise and demonstrate this through weight loss after the first few initial sesions. Only then will we proceed with the virtual gastric band. If you are totally serious about losing weight then it will certainly work better for you. The HYPNO-BAND system provides you with the tools and ability to lose weight and maintain a healthier body.

 

How long does it take?

We always start with a free 30 minute consultation. The whole process takes between 4 and 6 one hour sessions. This can usually be achieved over 6-10 week period.

 

Is it guaranteed?

Like any medical or therapy procedure there can be no definite guarantees. Even a surgeon cannot guarantee that an actual gastric band will work. However, the virtual gastric band has been proven to be effective in aiding significant weight loss in at least 70-80% of clients. It should be noted that it is YOU that holds the key to losing weight. No system will work if you are not 100% committed. The mind is a very powerful instrument and by using the HYPNO-BAND system you will have the tools and power to change your eating habits. The only way to lose significant amounts of weight is to eat less and exercise more! The HYPNO-BAND system helps you to change behaviour and life-style which in turn provides you with the ability to lose weight and stay that way!

  

 What's included?

  • A free 30 minute initial consultation
  • 4-6 sessions depnding on each client.
  • 2 MP3 recordings
  • full email and phone support in between sessions and for 6 months after completion of surgery.

How much does it cost?

That depends on you. The cost of each session is £65, but it's not just a financial cost. Your investment will allow you to change your eating habits to eat less, eat more healthily, finally take control of your weight and health, and be proud of your achievements. Contact me now for further information.
