Fantastic News for the Overweight!!!

There is now no need to endure the long drawn out programmes or diets, for weight loss and slimming.  Using our unique six session therapy you can completely change the way you think about yourself and your weight loss.

Our Unique Gastric Band Hypnotherapy programme, is unique because as well as using positive suggestion and visualisation of having a virtual gastric band fitted, we always spend time with our clients on helping them manage their thinking and reducing stress.

Why is it important to reduce stress levels if we want to lose weight?

Well if we want to make permanent changes to our lives and take control of areas of our lives that we are struggling with, are we likely to do that when we are stressed out, or would it be easier when we are relaxed and calm and feeling we can face life's challenges head on?

As a result our Unique Gastric Band Hypnotherapy programme will allow you to lose weight at a steady controlled rate without having to endure hunger pains and irritable moods caused by disappointing weight-loss results.

Our Unique Gastric Band Hypnotherapy Programme has even successfully helped surgically placed lap band patients who have had their band removed due to serious complications..

What is a Gastric Band?
Conventional gastric band surgery is a weight loss system, where the size of your stomach is reduced, using an adjustable band positioned round the upper part of the stomach to produce a small pouch. The gastric band is usually fitted using keyhole (laparoscopic) surgery. The amount of food that can be consumed at one time is limited because of the smaller upper pouch that is created by the Gastric Band. As a result you eat less and get full quicker. Essentially, the stomach tells the brain that its full with less food. 

Our Unique Virtual Gastric Band Hypnotherapy Procedure works in the same way but at a subconscious level without the need for surgery. By using our Unique Gastric Band Hypnotherapy Procedure, we create a state of mind where you will believe you actually have a gastric band fitted so that you can only eat small meals. You eat less and therefore get full quicker. Again the stomach tells the brain that its full with less food.  Its a long term solution to weight management, that allows you to lose weight steadily and safely using hypnotherapy.

The Unique Gastric Band  Hypnotherapy Programme
The Unique Gastric Band Hypnotherapy Programme is usually performed over six sessions. It is accepted by us that everyone who undertakes the treatment is an individual and deserves to be treated as such; for this reason large sections of the therapy are personalised and unique, resulting in each Unique Gastric Band  Hypnotherapy Programme having a number of exclusive elements.

The programme is essentially split into two parts. The first section is all about getting some self insight into what drives our weight loss problem and challenges in the first place. After all you cannot fix a problem until you have clearly identified and have clarity on what the problem actually is in the first place. Many people might simplify the problem as "I eat too much!"; without asking the question why and what are the driving forces behind me being unable to permanently lose weight?

The focus of these sessions is geared towards getting some self insight and really understanding what makes us tick, and what makes some challenges in life so difficult. Why have I been able to lose weight but then not keep it off. Why does it feel so out of control? Why do I feel so bad about it?

Once we have completed the first part of the programme clients typically begin to feel empowered to take control of their weight loss challenge, and begin to look forward to enjoying food and meal times. In addition, most clients report they are far less stressed and far more optimistic about the future.

The second part of the programme gives you an extra boost by using positive suggestion and visualisation. We create a state of mind where you will believe you actually have a gastric band fitted so that you can only eat small meals. You eat less and therefore get full quicker. Again the stomach tells the brain that it’s full with less food. 

The Unique Gastric Band Hypnotherapy Programme is a long term solution to weight management that allows you to lose weight steadily and safely using hypnotherapy.

What do clients say about our Unique Gastric Band Hypnotherapy Procedure?

Here are some examples of some of the feedback we have received from clients who have gone through the process

"Hi Richard.
Im not sure u remember me but I came to you maybe 2 yrs ago for a virtual gastric band.
Just to let you know with the help of your treatment and sorting my head out I have now managed to loose 4.5 stone in weight and ive stopped smoking. After talking to you I found my addictive personality was far easier to control and did diet and stopped smoking at the same time.
Many thanks for your help money well spent.
Tonya."

"Hi Richard

I just wanted to email you to say thank you for the help and support you have given me during the 5 sessions that we had together. Making the decision to contact you at the beginning was quite tough, I didn't have any experience or knowledge of hypnotherapy and wasn't sure what to expect. It was quite a lot of money to spend at the time and I didn't want to put myself in an 'emperors new clothes' type of situation. All I knew was that something had to change and I wanted it to work. I researched the process and success of the 'virtual gastric band' process and decided to go for it although I must admit to being quite nervous.

Right from our first session my eating habits started to change even though I don't think we actually talked about food or how much I ate. We talked about being positive and finding a perspective. Everything you said seemed so obvious and made perfect sense to me. I was able to relate everything back to how I was living my life. I started to make the small changes you suggested and I feel like I have got my old self back. I am happy and positive and people are reacting really well to the change in my attitude. Someone commented that I seemed to 'have a glow about me'. The weight loss almost seems like a bonus now when at the time it was my main reason for seeking help. It is now 4 weeks to the day since I had my 'vitual gastric band fitted'. I haven't used a dinner plate since, all of meals are served on side plates. I'm never hungry and I am definately not on a 'diet' but the weight is coming off. I purposely didn't weigh myself at the beginning or since so I cannot tell you how much weight I have lost and to be honest I don't really care how much. I just know that my clothes are all looser and more comfortable. I feel great, more energy and more confidence, I've even started to wear make up again. 5 weeks ago I went shopping and bought 2 tops, one in the correct size for me at the time and the other a size smaller. When I got home I tried them both on, the smaller one looked awful and clung around my stomach and hips, it has stayed in the carrier bag ever since. On Saturday I tried it on again and it looks perfect, today I am wearing it to work.

This is a life change for me, there will be no going back, I am sure of it. I have tried Weight Watchers, Slimming World, Aktins and lots of other diets but when the diet stops the weight comes back on. This is not a diet, this is me now. Thank you for helping me recognise that I had it in me to change my situation, I didn't need fad diets I just needed to believe in myself and to learn how to manage my thoughts. I will be eternally greatful and am boring all my friends and family to death about how great you are and how you could help them to!

Thanks once again, Best wishes
Paula"
