Welcome

Welcome to the Hypnotic Gastric Band Therapy website. The site is designed to provide information for anyone considering Gastric Band Surgery or Gastric Band Therapy and to provide access to a list of the accredited practitioners of Hypnotic Gastric Band Therapy. If your taking your treatment seriously, it is sensible to ensure that you find out all that you can and ensure that a therapist - if you choose therapy - is qualified to treat you, just as you would expect the surgeon to be qualified to do the operation.

If you are sick of yo yo dieting, worried about your long term health and maybe those of your family, sick of losing weight just to put it back on again then Hypnotic Gastric Band Therapy could be for you

Gastric Band surgery works by reducing the size of your stomach, along with the size of the opening to the stomach, the idea being to 'trick' the brain into thinking you are full by eating much smaller meals and having to masticate those small amounts of foods so small as to fit through the reduced opening. Gastric Band Therapy means that none of risks associated with major surgical procedures, such as anesthetic adverse reactions, MRSA that can be contracted whilst on a stay in hospital, the band leaking, slipping or requiring adjustments, need to be considered.

Gastric Band Therapy gives you all the benefits surgery provides with none of the side effects, plus many more additional benefits. Emotional eating issues are amongst other issues addressed using not only hypnotherapy but the latest in NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming) and CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy).

Sometimes it can be tough to get started, to make that commitment and sure it will be tough at times, but you must remember to pat yourself on the back for taking such a bold step, for having the courage to see it through and any of the accredited practitioners listed on this site will make sure that you don't forget your achievements along the way.

Hypnotherapy success rates in weight loss are impressive, an international research study† showed that, when comparing the results of adding hypnosis to other weight loss treatments across many different methods, adding hypnosis increased weight loss by an average of 97% during treatment. It also showed that hypnosis increased the effectiveness after the treatment by a whopping 146%. This shows that hypnosis works even better over a period of time.

Hypnotic Gastric Band Therapy propels those figures further forward, having a greater success rate than the surgery itself.
