Weight Control

Hypno gastric bands.

With this latest treatment great results can be achieved, (see the daily Telegraph 20th May 2009) with out the need for an operation to fit a gastric band. 

If you don't fit the NHS model, then you will have to pay for a private operation and this can cost as much as a new small car. The operation for an obese person this can sometimes be very dangerous.

Hypno gastric bands have had reports of the weight loss as much as between 3-5 stone in a few months. Though this treatment is intense for some people it can well worth it. A good start to a better life style. 

What happens in a Gastric band session.

The Gastric band weight loss program takes about 6 sessions on a weekly or twice weekly basis. 
The first sessions are to help you to go into a deep trance state, you will be shown how to go into a self hypnotic state, and like a lot of things practice makes perfect. So the more you practice the self-hypnosis the deeper your trance state will become.
The next two sessions will be taking you through the surgical implantation of a gastric band, with the help of your imagination you will feel like it is really happening to you.
The last two sessions are as described below, getting you to eat a healthy diet and to listen to you body say "I'm full. STOP eating". 

Reprogramming you eating habits.

  A long-term therapy, with two or three sessions in the first month to get you started and then ongoing support at intervals you see fit.   I will teach you the skills to help you control your eating, to enjoy healthier foods and help find the time and motivation to exercise. As with all good weight control techniques   I will not only want to give you the ability to attain your target weight,   I also aim to give you the skills to maintain that weight. 

Emotional and unconscious eating.
These are the main reasons for being obese, sitting and eating in front of the TV, not realising you are full because you are watching tv and not looking at what you are doing. So you shovel food in to you body, not even tasting what you are eating.
Emotional eating is eating to cover a pain. whether that pain is work related or a personal pain ie a loss or break up of a relationship. By being shown how to let go of the pain a "normal for you life" can be restored.

If you 'purge' after eating by vomiting, use of laxatives or excessive exercise then you may wish to consult Bulimia Nervosa.
