Ruth from Cardiff:

"Hi Simon, still feeling fantastic! the weight loss continues, I find it easy to keep to smaller portions without thinking about it and I'm able to leave food on my plate; the evening raids on the fridge are a thing of the past! I've had a really stressful time lately but didn't resort to food to deal with it, and that's such a difference for me. Thanks"

Simon English from Hypnotherapy Cardiff - is a Licensed Practicioner and this new system will help you lose that excess weight and keep it off. Wouldn't it be nice to have all the benefits of a surgical Gastric Band, without the surgey 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 is a long-term solution to your weight problems for those people who would be unable to get through Hypno-Analysis, or choose not to go through that route of therapy. The virtual gastric band has been proven to be effective in aiding significant weight loss. It should always be remebered it is YOU that holds the key to losing weight but we can help you unlock your full potential.

A recent newspaper report stated "A mum lost three stone in FIVE MONTHS after being hypnotised into believing she had a gastric band". The Hypno-Band could change your life for-ever. Imagine having the results usually achieved by having a surgical Gastric Band fit-ted 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 is 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, with-out the surgery and 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. Lose Weight and keep it off!

So how does it work? Frequently asked questions:

Over four/five sessions we take you through the process of having a gastric band fitted, 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 hypnother-apy 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.

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.

Does it hurt? On the contrary. The HYPNO-BAND pro-cedure 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 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.

Am I suitable for the HYPNO-BAND weight loss system? If you are over-weight 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.

Will it work for me? The key to success is YOU! No weight loss system will work unless you are committed to losing weight. You must be prepared to change your eating habits and life-style. 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.

How long does it take? The whole process takes four or five one hour sessions. Usually this is achieved over about a month but this is flexible and at your convenience.
