Am I suitable for the Hypno-Band Programme?
 The Hypno-Band Programme may be the option you wish to consider if you have a BMI of over 30. Having a virtual gastric band is a safe, risk free and not to mention cheaper alternative to real gastric band surgery. Having a real gastric band fitted can cost around £7,000. Once fitted it works by restricting the amount of food you can comfortably eat and makes you feel fuller for longer. Surgeons can also adjust the band, loosening it or making it tighter by adding salt water into it thereby slowing down the amount of food that passes through your stomach. The gastric band is designed to remain inside your stomach although it can be removed with usually no long term damage. As with any operations there are other serious factors to consider such as infections and leakage.
How does it work?
The Hypno-Band Programme enables the client’s mind to believe they have had the operation. It combines hypnosis, suggestion therapy and visualisation to make the mind believe their stomach feels smaller. The mind/body connection is powerful and with my help your mind will believe you’ve had the gastric band fitted. You eat smaller portions and feel full more quickly. Unlike the real surgery there are no nasty side effects. You get the effects of the surgery without having to actually have it!
How many sessions does it take?
The programme is over 6 sessions (the 1st being a free initial consultation) and costs £375 (£337.50 during February). Sessions are spread out over approximately 10 weeks. Both the CD’s are provided as part of the package. Upon attending the initial free consultation there is no obligation to proceed if you feel a virtual gastric band is not the right route for you. It may be that you decide my shorter three step Relaxed Eating Programme is more suitable. Click here for details of the prices of both options.
Why choose the Hypno-Band Programme over other Virtual Gastric Band sessions?
Many hypnotherapists now offer hypnosis sessions based on the idea of having a virtual gastric band fitted. Hypno-Band was invented by John McClean who originally developed the idea and then licensed it out to accredited practitioners such as myself. There are about 350 Hypno-Band practitioners in over 14 countries. Beware of imitations because you do not know if the practitioner is properly trained and experienced in dealing with your case.
Please note that the Hypno-Band Programme is not a ‘magic bullet’. You will not lose a stone overnight nor is it healthy or ethical for me to encourage that. You must be fully committed to making significant lifestyle changes and these changes must be in place and starting to help you lose weight before we move onto the hypnosis part of the programme. Virtually every single client I've seen has lost weight from the first session onwards.
