Gastric Band HypnotherapyTestimonials Are you suitable for Gastric Band Hypnotherapy? there are several restrictions which would make the gastric band hypnotherapy unsuitable for you - if this is the case you would be better suited to traditional weight loss hypnotherapy Imagine all the benefits of a surgical gastric band without the huge cost or any of the potentially devastating risks involved with the major surgery
There is an enormous amount of media coverage of celebrities losing huge amounts of weight with gastric band surgery - Sharon Osbourne, Fern Britton, Vanessa Feltz. This surgery, whilst delivering amazung results, comes at a high cost - both financially & potentially to your health. Gastric Band Hypnotherapy is a proven alternative. It's safe, effective & fast.
Gastric Band Hypnotherapy not only reduces your desire to overeat, it also resolves your unhealthy patterns around food eg grazing, outsize portions, sweet cravings, takeaways, too much alcohol. It resolves the need to overeat & promotes a healthier lifestyle, raising the probability of long term success, a healthy body AND good self-esteem.
Gastric Band hypnosis uses hypnotherapy, CBT & NLP to convince your unconscious mind that a gastric band fitted. This will result in you feeling full much quicker and stop you from over eating just like a surgical gastric band.
If you are really committed to losing weight then gastric band hypnotherapy will help you to achieve your goals. Designed for those with a BMI over 30, Gastric Band Hypnotherapy is a safe, risk free and cost effective alternative to traditional Gastric Band Surgery. Use the power of your unconscious mind to change your relationship with food forever. What will happen? The programme consists of 3-4 1 hour sessions, each a week apart. During your first session we take an in-depth background detailing all your unhealthy patterns, beliefs & behaviours eg grazing, emotional eating, takeaways, sweet foods, too much alcohol, body image issues etc. We clear some of the psychological issues getting in the way of your weight loss. These changes are reinforced with a hypnotherapy session which is recorded on CD for you to use at home to reinforce the changes. A week later you are ready for your second session during which we assess your food diary for the week & address any remaining bad habits, beliefs or behaviours getting between you & successful weight loss. A week later, we again review your food diary & if everything is on track we proceed to fit your band. If there are any residual negative behaviours at this point a third resolution session is required & the band will be fitted in the fourth session if you are then on track.There is simply no point in applying the band if you are still eating unhealthily at that point. When you are ready for the fitting of your Hypno-gastric band we go through the preparation & your virtual surgery in a deep hypnotic state. The Hypno-Gastric band will be tested & retested through hypnosis to ensure it is successfully installed. Altrenatively the programme can be undertaken in one 3-4 hour session with a meal break. The Hypno-Gastric band is very like a jubilee clip which is tightened around the top quarter of your stomach to reduce the volume you can hold in your stomach before feeling full and to slow the passage of the food in your stomach into the colon. The opening into the bottom half of your stomach (which effectively becomes the start of your colon) is the diameter of your little finger. As such you are very restricted in the volume of food you can hold in your reduced stomach space & feel full much much quicker & for longer than you have in the past. Are you suitable for Gastric Band Hypnotherapy? there are several restrictions which would make the gastric band hypnotherapy unsuitable for you - if this is the case you would be better suited to traditional weight loss hypnotherapy Once you have achieved your ideal weight you should have a Band Adjustment session to enable you to maintain your weight & increase your portion sizes to non weight loss levels Each 1 hour session is £125 payable by cash or cheque If you would like to discuss your needs further or make an appointment please email me at

What will you eat? After your Hypnotic Gastric Band has been put in place you will be eating between 1,000 & 1200 (women) or 1500 (men) calories per day These will be split into 3 or 4 mugs sized portions per day of 350 (women) to 400 (men) calories each. This calorie level replicates the optimum levels set for actual gastric band surgery. It is important to have a calorific intake that covers your metabolic basal rate to avoid muscle loss. The food you eat should be nutrient rich & a mix or protein & carbohydrates You will only be able to drink fluids before a meal & then about an hour after a meal as the band restricts passage to the diameter of your little finger. Fine if your stomach is empty & the fluids can pass through unimpeded, but very uncomfortable if you put liquids ontop of an already full tummy! What can you eat & what can't you eat? Are you suitable for Gastric Band Hypnotherapy? Gastric band hypnotherapy is not for everyone - I apologise if this seems strict but these parameters are for you health & well-being I would not recommend Gastric Hypnotherapy if you: - Want something that works in the week but you can have weekends or holidays off. It is a lifestyle change rather than a quick fix - you will always have smaller portions (unless the band is removed altogether) - Want to be able to drink more than 1 or 2 alcoholic drinks at a time during the weight loss period - Are pregnant or have stopped breast feeding or had surgery less than 3 months before the programme - Have suffered from eating disorders currently or in the past - Have a BMI under 30 - Are suffering from a serious, diagnosed mental health issue eg bi-polar, serious depression - Have type 1 diabetes - Smoke Marijuana (an attack of the munchies while under the influence may over-ride the hypnosis) - You have serious, diagnosed digestive issues (IBS is fine) If you are on prescribed medication you may well have to get approval from your doctor before we start as many drugs need to be adjusted every 5 Kilos or so If you would like to discuss your needs further or make an appointment please email me at

So thanks you Nicola those 3 hours really have changed my life." Lisa, gastric band hypnotherapy "having lost a noticeable amount of weight has really boosted my confidence and truly improved my figure. Lost in totally since April over 9 inches around my hips! Getting suddenly a lot of attention from (male) people around me which is a really good incentive and just adds a feel good factor :) When you are quite overweight you almost become a little invisible and try to blend into the background.
