Gastric Band Surgery....now there is a real alternative!

Fern Brittan is half the woman she was and bouncing with health after losing an amazing amount of weight.  How did she do it?  Well she had gastric band surgery last year.  The results for her have been fantastic but for many people the real dangers involved in surgery when you’re very overweight are too big for you to want to go down that route. That is, of course, if you can even get on the waiting list for the operation on the NHS in the first place.  Patients must have a BMI (Body Mass Index) of over 40 or a BMI of between 30-40 and a condition posing a serious health risk. This might mean being very overweight and having a condition such as diabetes, high blood pressure, or heart disease before you will be considered for gastric band surgery.  Even then there’s no guarantee of surgery; much of the decision is based on your doctor/surgeon’s impression of how well you’ll do in and after surgery.

The great news is that  a couple of years ago a British couple in Spain pioneered an alternative to real gastric band surgery, where they used hypnosis to help clients feel as if the surgery really had actually taken place, without the client leaving the comfort of their therapy chair. This therapy has now been spreading throughout Europe and recently arrived in the UK, where Consultant Hypnotherapists Sue Peckham and James Holmes have been working on incorporating this procedure with Sue’s own ‘Easyloss’ Programme for long-term maintenance after the initial weight loss...there’s no point in losing it if you put it all back on!  Now this life changing therapy is available to you!

Steady Weight Loss using hypnosis

The weight loss you’ll achieve with  Hypno Slim Band is steady, sustainable and healthy.  You can expect to lose 1 to 3 pounds per week on average. Medical studies have shown that this level of weight loss doesn’t affect the body’s metabolic rate, so there’s no artificial weight loss where the body burns muscle instead of fat; that’s when we hear of someone losing a massive amount of weight in a short period of time and then putting it all back on....and more.  This is usually a mixture of water and muscle loss by losing the weight too quickly plus extra eating when we think we’re ‘safe’.  We all know how easy it is for one biscuit leads to another don’t we?  Now there is a way to not only lose the weight at the right rate for your individual body but also the ability to change how we view food; to work out what’s hunger and what’s boredom, anxiety, frustration etc and to learn how to deal with those feelings without  turning to food.

Unexpected Benefits

The benefits of actual gastric band surgery are wide-ranging.  In fact research published in June suggested that a more active and fulfilled sex life was one of the side-effects of losing weight, add to this an increase in self-confidence, increased mobility, less illness and a longer life-expectancy, it’s easy to see how the Hypno Slim Band is becoming the obvious and safe alternative.

Cost
If you do not meet the NHS criteria for a gastric band operation it is possible to have the surgery privately.  Like most surgeries nowadays you can find a range of costs for gastric band operations – the ‘real thing’ can cost anything from £4,000 to £8,000 depending on where you have it done and the comfort level you’re looking for. Hypno Slim Band costs £50 for a Consultation Session, followed by £400 for the following 4 sessions.
