Hypno-Band - the Leading "Virtual" Gastric Band for Weight Loss in Colchester

What is the Hypno-Band

The Hypno-Band is also known as the virtual gastric band, designed to help you to lose weight in the same way you would if you'd had a gastric band operation - only without the actual operation!

The Hypno-Band was created and developed by John Maclean of Newwave Hypnotherapy which is based in Mallorca, Spain and Exeter, United Kingdom. While seeing many clients for weight loss therapy John realised that for those clients who had a high Body Mass Index (BMI) regular weight loss hypnotherapy was not enough. The concept of gastric band hypnotherapy had been around for some time but John felt that what was needed was an integrated system that analysed and dealt with the client's emotional and psychlogical reasons for over-eating. After many months of research and development the Hypno-Band was born and today it has become the world's most used gastric band hypnotherapy system available through our network of Licensed Practitioners (over 200) in eleven countries. Our Practitioners come from all walks of life but have two things in common. They are all qualified and dedicated hypnotherapists and they all CARE! They care about YOU, the client. and their aim is to help you achieve your goal of effective and permanent weight loss!

The Hypno-Band is the original and most widely used gastric band hypnotherapy system. Using a combination of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Hypnotherapy we will help you to change your eating habits forever! If you are really committed to losing weight then the Hypno-Band will enable you to achieve your goals. Designed for those with a BMI over 25 the Hypno-Band is a safe, risk free and cheap alternative to Gastric Band Surgery. With over 240 Licensed Practitioners in twelve countries the Hypno-Band is the World's No.1 gastric band hypnotherapy system. Why not contact us today and book a free assessment.

Why Diets Don't Work!
The sad fact is that diets don't work! How many times have you dieted and lost weight only to put it all back on again? The problem with diets is that they do not deal with the reasons why people over-eat in the first place and so as soon as you stop dieting you go back to your old habits and eating behaviours and before long all the weight you lost is back, and more!

Your BMI gives and indication of your health risks. A BMI between 18 and 25 is regarded as "Normal", between 25 and 30 is classed as "Overweight" and a BMI between 30 and 40 is in the "Obese" range. If you have a BMI over 40 you are classed as "Morbidly Obese." Not only can obesity affect life expectancy it can be responsible for conditions such as:cardiovascular disease, diabetes Type II, stroke, cancer, joint problems such as osteoarthritis and high blood pressure.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the HYPNO-BAND weight loss system?

The HYPNO-BAND System is a combination of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and hypnotherapy techniques that helps you explore, analyse and change your eating habits. Then using the mind/body connection we fit a "virtual gastric band" to your stomach, making you eat less and less often.

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.

Does it hurt?

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

Are there side effects?

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 hypnotherapists 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?

If you are over-weight 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. your suitability will be assessed at the initial session.

Will it work for me?

The key to success is YOU! No weight loss system will work unless you are committed to losing weight. You must be prepared to help and allow gentle changes to take effect with regard to your "over-eating" habits. If you are totally serious about losing weight then it will certainly work for you. The HYPNO-BAND system provides you with the tools and ability to lose weight and maintain a healthier body.

So how do I start?

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. 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! The HYPNO-BAND system helps you to gently change behaviours, which in turn provides you with the ability to lose weight and stay that way!

 

Our Licensed Practitioners are all highly trained and qualified hypnotherapists. Be sure you only consult a Hypno-Band Licensed Practitioner to ensure you are getting the best service available. Beware of imitations!
 

The HYPNO-BAND Weight Loss System is extremely cost effective when compared to other methods. Whilst Gastric Band surgery can cost many thousands of pounds and even belonging to slimming clubs adds up after a time, HYPNO-BAND saves you money not only as a way to lose weight but in your weekly food bills! By using our system you will eat smaller portions and eat less often cutting your food bills in the process!

What do you get for your money?

The HYPNO-BAND system comprises a series of one hour sessions plus cd or mp3 recordings which you use for reinforcement. A full dietary and medical history will be taken and an initial assessment done during the first session. Also in the first session you will be introduced to hypnosis and experience the fantastic feelings of relaxation and calmness which results from being hypnotized. We will also begin your journey to losing weight. In the second session you will encounter the HYPNO-BAND and we will begin the process of having the virtual gastric band fitted. In subsequent sessions the HYPNO-BAND virtual gastric band will be fitted and adjusted. In later sessions the process will be reinforced and you will learn a different way of eating. Following the sessions you should use your CD or MP3 to back-up and reinforce the work you have done.
