There are 6 sessions at 50 minutes per session. In addition, there is a free introductory session to discuss your suitability for the Hypno-Band. Normally, if your 'Body Mass Index' (BMI) is 25 or over and you are over 16 years of age, then you will be suitable.
Session 1:
In this session, your height, weight and BMI will be checked. Then we will discuss your present average daily food intake, discussing where, when and why you eat. This discussion is of vital importance when devising your future hypnotic inductions, which are personally suited to you.
Session 2:
You will have your first hypnotic induction, which will create the mind-set for change in your eating habits. You will also receive your first CD which you listen to at home.
Session 3:
This session is used to prepare you for your Hypno-Band operation. You will be told how to prepare for the operation in a few days' time and you will learn all about the procedure itself and how it will affect you afterwards.
Session 4:
The 'operation' itself. In hypnosis, you will have the operation to insert the Hypno-Band in your stomach. It will be explained to you what to do afterwards and you will also be given a second CD and a weekly food intake chart to re-enforce the procedure.
Session 5:
We will discuss how your eating babits have changed since the operation and decide whether the Hypno-Band needs to be tightened or loosened, according to these results. You will be given a monthly weight control chart and a third CD at this session. We will also weigh you to check the weight loss between sessions 1 and 5.
Session 6:
In this final session, we will discuss your general progress to date and give your weight a final check. Using the gathered data on your weight over the past few weeks, we will be able to project a time period for you to achieve your target weight. |
