How does it work?
Each session, we take you through the process of having a gastric band fitted, but only in your mind.
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 one hour and before beginning the process a full assessment will be carried out.
​
The whole process takes four one hour sessions. Usually a week apart but that can be adapted for your convenience.
Why was it developed?
​
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 psychological 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 800) in 39 countries.
​
The Hypno-Band could change your life forever. Imagine having the results usually achieved by having a surgical Gastric Band fitted but not having to go through surgery, and spending thousands of pounds! Gastric Band surgery is not for everyone. Usually the surgery is only carried out on people classified as “clinically obese” and with a high Body Mass Index (BMI)
​
A surgical Gastric Band works by reducing the size of the stomach and therefore you eat smaller portions and feel full. Through this method it is possible to lose weight easily. The surgical method does have drawbacks however. It is very costly, typically costing £4000 to £6000 and of course you will need to go through a surgical procedure.What if you could have all the benefits of a surgical Gastric Band, without the surgery and the cost? Well now you can!
​
By using the Hypno-Band hypnotherapy system we create a state of mind where you will believe you actually have a Gastric Band fitted! You will eat smaller portions and feel full. The Hypno-Band system is a long term solution to your weight problems.
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.
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.
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 it work for me?
The key to success is YOU! No weight loss system will work unless you are comitted to losing weight. You must be prepared to change your eating habits and lifestyle. 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.
Am I suitable for the HYPNO-BAND weight loss system?
If you are overweight 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.
