Gastric Band Hypnotherapy on NHS

A number of my clients have been asking me whether it is possible to get Gastric Band Hypnotherapy on NHS. They have seen the incredible results that many are people are getting in the media and so they begin to research whether they would be eligible for this new form of hypnosis treatment. This is especially the case for those individuals who have considered having the real gastric band fitted but found that they were not suitable for the treatment.

The reality is that the health service in the UK has constrained funding and does not have the ability to offer this form of treatment as part of its day to day services. Despite many people seeing considerable weight loss with this form of hypnosis it is simply not available for free. In fact the only place where you can get Gastric Band Hypnotherapy is through a private clinic. As hypnotherapy is currently not regulated in the UK this adds a further element of difficulty as the average weight loss client does not know who or what to look for in order to get a reputable practitioner.

If you were looking for gastric band hypnotherapy on NHS and were unable to get on a program via your doctor then these are some of the things that you need to look our for.

1) Look for a practitioner who is a member of a professional hypnotherapy body. This means that they abide by a strict code of standards and practice ethically.

2) Beware one session wonders. If you have had a lifetime of weight problems beware any practitioner who tells you that they can resolve all your issues in one session. If it sounds like a miracle then the chances are it is.

3) Thinking about Groupon Gastric Band Hypnotherapy? Do the maths. Yes you will get a cheap deal but think about the practitioner who is offering that deal. Groupon usually take 50% of the therapists money and the deal is a steal anyway. Divide that 50% by the number of sessions the therapist is offering and you will find that the therapist is generally making no money. What good hypnotherapist who gets great results would be working for virtually free? You get what you pay for in this world so don't cut corners.

4) Look for someone who offers the Hypno-Band weight loss system as they will be following a fully licensed system which is regulated. This system is not offered to hypnotherapists who are not fully qualified.
