What is the Hypno-Band?

Dad’s & Kids Group- Waterside- Sat 10,00 - 12.00, 0118 9375618

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 HypnoBand 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.

Families Need Fathers, information support centre, Tilehurst, 0118 9019132

Fostering and Adoption Cabrini Children’s Society, various services, Reading, 0196 284 2024

The Hypno-Band could change your life forever.

Imagine having the results usually achieved by having a surgical Gastric Band fitted but not having to go through surgery, and spending thousands of pounds!

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.
