Hi Sue it us a brilliant therapy especially for obese clients. I have been a practitioner since August last year and have had great success with it. We are dealing with all the emoions around eating and food, the emotional reasons for the weight, dealing with them and shifting weight then we fit the band as in an "operation", clients feel the band in most cases and have it tightened or loosened as needed some time after the op.

Hi Sue,
I am the creator of the Hypno-Band (tm) system which is used by over 240 Licensed Practitioners in thirteen countries with great results. We use a combination of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and hypnotherapy and as Michael says, it is a comprehensive system (far from being nursery-school stuff! Don't know where that came from John) that addresses the emotional and psychological reasons why people over-eat. It has been very successful with obese clients. While there are some therapists who say they use gastric band therapy, many are using a "one script" approach which bears no resemblance to what we do. By the way, it originated in Europe! Spain and UK to be precise.

Hi Sue
I am the creator of the Hypno-Band (tm) system which is used in 12 countries by over 240 Licensed Practitioners. The system uses a combination of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and hypnotherapy and is, as Michael says, a comprehensive method for weight control. It is far from being "nursery school stuff" (don't know where that came from John) and has proven to be very effective for dealing with obese clients. There are, of course some therapists who use a single script approach to gastric band therapy but that bears no resemblance to what we do. By the way, it originated in Europe (Spain and UK to be exact).

It's a metaphor. Very simple nursery-school stuff. Very well wrapped up though.

Hi Michael, thank you for your help on this - I wasn't sure when someone would reply on this due to the time difference

best wishes and thanks again

Sue

Welcome to HT.com Susan.

At the top of the page near your name - there is a search box below my signoff - find a small sampling of what typing gastric band and hypno-band will produce -

In a nut-shell Hypno-Band is more than a script it is a comprehensive protocol and it's practitioners find that the protocol is very effective.

Conside me a resource.
