 What is Hypno-Band?
The Hypno-Band weight loss system can change your life. Imagine having the results usually achieved by having a Gastric Band fitted but not have to go through invasive surgery, and spending thousands of dollars.
Gastric Band surgery is not for everyone. For more background on this virtual surgery approach read my article.
A surgical gastric band works by reducing the size of the stomach and therefore you eat smaller portions and feel full quickly. Through this method it is possible to lose weight easily. However it is very costly, costing $30,000 and more, and of course you need to go through an invasive surgical procedure. Your insurance company will not consent to this surgery unless you fall into the morbidly obese category of a BMI of 30 and more, and you are Diabetic or about to be Diabetic.
 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 in which you will believe that you have a Gastric Band fitted. You will eat smaller portions and you will feel full quicker. The Hypno-Band system is a long term solution to your weight problems.
How does it work?
 Over four sessions I take you through the process of having a gastric band fitted, only in your mind. By using suggestion and visualization, your mind will be convinced that your stomach has become the size of a golf ball and that you need less food. The process uses hypnotherapy and cognitive behavioral techniques to help you achieve your ideal weight. – and stay there.
Each session lasts up to two hours, and before beginning the process a full assessment will be carried out.
Does it involve surgery? NO! The Hypno-Band system is a non-invasive behavior changing method using the techniques of hypnotherapy and cognitive behavioral therapy.
Are there any side effects? NO! There are no side effects from this procedure.
The Hypno-Band Weight Loss Process
The Hypno-Band Weight Loss Process will include four sessions of up to two hours each session.
Session 1
I will spend time taking a detailed case history of you and your eating habits, and investigating if there are any emotional reasons why you have maintained this level of weight and if there are any blockages to you now shedding the pounds. We will discuss in some detail the changes in your life style and the need to lose and maintain a healthy level, the diet I wish you to follow, and a program for exercising.
I will explain how hypnotherapy works, (and the myths of hypnosis), and exactly what we will be doing in the first hypnosis session. I will then induce hypnosis and give you suggestions in the hypnotic state at a deep level that will encourage you to start the program of change and transformation.
I make a recording of each session and put it on a CD, and I ask that you listen to it regularly until our next session.
Session 2
We build on our first session and I discuss your progress. I show you a video of the Lap Band surgery. It lasts only half an hour and there is no blood as the surgery is laparoscopic; that is to say, the surgeon carries out the operation remotely by using robotics arms, and a video camera displays on a TV screen, before the surgeon, every movement he makes in the operation. You will now understand how the Lap band works, and you will feel more at ease for the virtual surgery that I will be giving you on the next session. We will also be giving you a visualization of all the steps leading to the actual operation, such as meeting the surgeon and the anesthetist and taking you to a point in time twelve hours before the surgery. A second CD is provided.
Session 3
In this session you are taken through the actual operation. You will have followed the lead up to the operation of eating less, and no food 48 hours before the operation. Your liver must shrink in size, hence the restraint of eating and drinking. The operation in real time lasts one hour, half the time getting you down with anesthesia and taking you out: the actual operation lasts only half an hour. In your unconscious mind, your stomach will be the size of a golf ball, so you will have to eat less, and slower, and the stomach will tell it is full much quicker. A CD will be provided of this session.
Session 4
This session is a follow up to the virtual surgery and is four to six weeks after session three. We can adjust the Lap Band – in hypnosis. We can either loosen it or tighten it, depending on your progress. For example, if you say you are still eating too much, then we can tighten the band so the aperture into your stomach is virtually made smaller. On the other hand if you are light headed and need more food, we can virtually enlarge the Lap Band. The session ends with further reinforcement and suggestions to you obtaining the weight level you want and living a healthy lifestyle from now on and into the future.
The Cost
$1,250 for the whole procedure of four sessions.
