Personal assistance, real weight loss, one inch at a time

Department of Health says Weight Loss Surgery carry a risk

Weight Loss Hypnotherapy expert Claire Hegarty has said that having a Gastric Band fitted also known as Weight Loss Surgery is not always the safest way to lose weight an she is not the only one. The department of Health has also said that having a Gastric Band surgery can carry a risk. New research has shown that NHS operations to combat obesity has increased 10-fold which shows in the year 2000 only 238 patients had a Gastric Band operation while in 2007 it increased to 2453 causing major cost on the NHS.

Gastric Band surgery has become huge news since the likes of Fern Britton had it done and as a results she lots of great deal of weight but what people are unaware of is the complications says Claire Hegarty who is one of the leading UK Weight Loss Hypnotherapy experts.

“People have died as a results of having a Gastric Band fitted and other people have had serious complications where they have had to have the Gastric Band removed which means another operation while others have had to have adjustments due to pain which again has meant another operation for the patient.”

Claire said that she is not saying patient who has a Gastric Band fitted will have complications but the Weight Loss expert wants people to look more into the operation before having the operation.

“This week a women revealed that she had a Gastric Band fitted and it caused her a lot of pain as well as costing her, her marriage. The woman in question admitted that she did not do enough research into the operation and did not look into alternative ways to lose weight.”

Claire continued: “Not only has this procedure caused discomfort with patients but it has also claimed the lives of Gastric band patients including the life of Bernadette Reid, Suzanne Murphy 29, and Marilyn Wardrop 54, to name a few and one life loss to an invasive procedure is one life to many.”

There is a range of post-operative problems reported with gastric bands, and according to research over 80% of patients will experience one or more of the following symptoms:

Nausea and vomiting (50%)
Reflux or regurgitation of food (35%)
Slipped band (25%)
Obstruction or blockage (15%)
Constipation
Diarrhoea
Difficulty swallowing
If these complications cause you serious discomfort your band may need to be adjusted or removed. This involves further surgery, exposing you to all the associated risks once again.

Joanna McDermott who paid £8,500 to have a Gastric Band fitted to lose weight explained that she has regretted having the operation done and explain how unhappy it has made her.

Joanna who had never heard of Weight Loss Hypnosis, weighed more than 20 stone and wanted to be slim so she turned to having a Gastric Band fitted because she thought the operation was like a magic wand that would change her life forever, but three years on and she regrets having the operation which has left her constantly ill and has even resulted in her gaining weight instead of losing weight.

"Having the gastric band fitted has ruined my life," says Joanna. "Not only has it been a waste of money, but I've never felt so sick in my life. I wish I'd never had it done."

"Since the Gastric Band operation, I've never had a full week when I've been able to keep every meal down," she says. "And there have been times when I could not even drink anything because it would all come straight back up."

Joanna became stressed and as a result of all the stress that resulted from having the Gastric Band Bypass, sadly her marriage to her husband ended.
"I used to be a happy-golucky person. Now I'm a prisoner in my own home. I don't even like driving as I feel the stomach pains are so bad they make me unsafe."

"Ironically, the only food I can eat without being sick is chocolate," she says. "And I can only keep that down if I melt it first. The problem is that it's very high in calories."

Joanna has now arranged to have another operation to have the Gastric Band removed. 
The department of Health has said that the surgery does carry a risk and people must only use it as a last resort.
There are other ways to lose weight, which includes Weight Loss Hypnotherapy where a Weight Loss Hypnosis expert will make you believe you have had a Gastric Band fitted without having the actual operation.

A leading Journalist Ellen Arnison who writes for The Scottish Daily Record, which is a leading publication in Scotland, decided to try Weight Loss Hypnotherapy for her to find out the real reason why this weight loss technique has become popular.

  Ellen a 43 year old woman with three children decided she wanted to try Weight Loss Hypnotherapy after finding that her maternity dresses still fit her ‘snugly’ and decided it was time for drastic action in her bid to lose weight

  "I'm really not very good at diets, they just make me hungry and obsessed," says Arnison. "Exercise is all very well but with a crawling baby, two older sons and a job, it's not easy to find the time or energy."

  Ellen decided that she did not want to take the risk of having an operation to have a Gastric Band fitted which carries a number of risks and decided she would go with the safer option of weight loss hypnotherapy.

  Weight Loss Hypnotherapy convinces patients that they have had a Gastric Band fitted to help them lose weight-allowing people even with no self-control to lose weight.

  Three weeks after having Weight Loss Hypnotherapy, Arnison says that she feels thinner; "My scales tell me I've lost seven pounds. I see myself in the mirror and think, 'it doesn't matter about the extra bits, they'll be gone soon," she says. "Almost every meal I've had, I've not finished and I have certainly not fancied sweets or cake."

Cool Images Can Ease Hot Flashes

Cool Images Can Ease Hot Flashes
Posted By AnnA Rushton On August 27, 2010 @ 7:16 am In News
If you feel that you have tried everything else then this simple tip might just help.  This is actually something I have been doing in various different circumstances for most of my life but I hadn’t thought of it in relation to helping with hot flashes until I saw some recent research published in the International Journal of Clinical and Experimental Hypnosis.
The research was carried out at Baylor University in Texas and builds on an earlier Baylor study which found that using hypnotic relaxation therapy reduced hot flashes by 68 percent.  Now that is impressive enough, but you can make it even better by giving yourself a mental image of something really cool such as a snowy landscape or an ice cold mountain stream.  The women in the study were a group of breast cancer survivors who found themselves subject to persistent hot flashes, but when they imagined a cool low-temperature scenario it reduced the intensity of their symptoms.
The leader of the study, Gary Elkins, Ph.D. a professor of psychology and neuroscience at Baylor, concluded that “The finding may indicate that areas of the brain activated by imagery may be identical to those activated by actual perceived events.”
In other words, you can trick your mind when you are hot into believing that you are actually somewhere very cold and it will respond accordingly and you will feel cooler.   As I said, I have certainly used it previously but the other way around, in that if I have been out somewhere and the temperature has dropped dramatically, or I haven’t put on enough warm clothing, I imagine myself in front of a roaring fire or sitting on a tropical beach and I do indeed feel warmer.
I do like remedies that are simple, inexpensive, and certainly free from side effects!

Hypnosis can relieve syptoms of IBS

To Your Health
Don’t Be Irritable
By James N. Dillard, M.D.
(August 26, 2010)  It’s hard to believe that the actress who once drove Kevin Kline crazy in the 1988 British-American crime comedy “A Fish Called Wanda” is now the colon health lady. Jamie Lee Curtis’s performance helped drive Kevin up to the stage to pick up an Oscar for his work in that film. Now she wants you to pick up Activia.
In a time of salmonella-laced eggs, and with an economy looking to double dip like George Costanza at the hors d’oeuvre table, it’s no wonder we have achy bellies. One in five Americans has a condition called irritable bowel syndrome (I.B.S.), and many have trouble getting any relief for it.
Young women don’t usually have many health problems, but this is one condition that commonly plagues them. It usually starts in the late teens to 20s, and affects women twice as often as men. It is characterized by abdominal pain, bloating, cramping, constipation, and diarrhea. People with I.B.S. feel better when they go to the bathroom, but their bowel habits are irregular.
Seventy percent of those suffering with I.B.S. are not receiving care for their condition, and many have tried conventional medications without relief or with intolerable side effects. About half of I.B.S. sufferers have tried alternative therapies for their condition, again with mixed results.
If you have typical persistent symptoms, your doctor has to make sure you don’t have an inflammatory bowel disease, such as ulcerative colitis or Crohn’s disease, or lactose intolerance, parasites, cancer, celiac disease, bacterial overgrowth, or thyroid trouble. Ten percent of I.B.S. sufferers develop chronic symptoms after a bout of bacterial gastroenteritis.
There is no definitive cause or cure for irritable bowel syndrome. The nerves and muscles surrounding the intestines may be especially sensitive in I.B.S. patients. Shortly after a meal, they will contract excessively, causing cramping and pain. Another theory implicates an imbalance in the neurotransmitter serotonin, 95 percent of which is in the gut and 5 percent is in the brain.
    Common treatments that help some people are increased fiber and specific dietary restrictions, though the research on dietary interventions is equivocal.  Soluble fiber like psyllium — not bran —  has been shown in several studies to ease I.B.S. symptoms. Every patient will respond differently to these interventions, although fatty foods and caffeine are generally poorly tolerated.
    There is a certain amount of gluten hysteria around, with folks deciding they can’t eat it without actually doing a well-controlled test. Gluten is a grain protein in wheat, barley, and rye, and can also be found in medicines, supplements, and cosmetics. Two weeks of strict gluten elimination, with subsequent reintroduction, can certainly tell you if you are sensitive to this food.  The blood tests for celiac disease or gluten sensitivity are also fairly reliable.
    Medications can help some I.B.S. patients, but none are curative. A 2005 review paper showed that about 18 percent of I.B.S. patients will benefit from antispasmodics (intestine-relaxing drugs) like hyoscyamine (Donnatal, Levbid, Anaspaz, NuLev) or dicyclomine (Bentyl). Mild sedatives, like Donnapine and Librax, don’t help much and can be habit-forming.
    Tegaserod (Zelnorm) was pulled from the market back in 2007 for possible association with heart problems, but it is now available on a limited basis for women only. Studies show that tegaserod only benefits a small percentage of patients. The old tricyclic antidepressants (amitriptyline, nortriptyline) in low dose seem to make a difference, and lubiprostone (Amitiza) can help with constipation in the short-term.
    “When I repress my emotions, my stomach keeps score,” wrote John J. Powell, S.J., a Jesuit priest. Most of us intuitively understand that the belly is the seat of the emotions, and the brain-gut connection has received much interesting research attention.
    More than 50 percent of those who seek care with irritable bowel symptoms have underlying anxiety, depression, or somatization (medically unexplained physical symptoms related to psychological distress). This does not mean that these folks are crazy or mentally ill. However, understanding this gives doctors an opportunity to help.
    Some people just have a sensitive nervous system. Over 50 percent of those with noncardiac chest pain and more than one-third of those with nondiagnostic stomach pain will also have symptoms consistent with I.B.S.
    Relaxation routines, cognitive behavioral therapy, and especially clinical hypnosis has been shown in multiple research studies to help I.B.S. patients. A comprehensive review article by Peter Whorwell published in the “Journal of Psychosomatic Research” in June 2008 substantiated the usefulness of hypnotherapy for I.B.S.
    To try hypnosis for I.B.S., consult with a hypnotherapist who has experience with gut-directed hypnotherapy — this is a specialized form. The American Society of Clinical Hypnosis is a good resource for finding a practitioner (asch.net). Mindfulness-based stress reduction and meditation can help as well.
    On the natural medicine side of the fence, enteric-coated peppermint oil capsules have some positive studies to support their use. Don’t use antacids with this — you don’t want peppermint oil released in the stomach. It can cause gastric reflux and heartburn.
    Acupuncture can certainly relax you, but research results are mixed for I.B.S. patients. A European multiple-herb extract called Iberogast was shown to improve I.B.S. symptoms in a 2004 double-blind placebo study.
     Finally, Jamie Lee Curtis may be a bit right. Several studies have shown that the Bifidobacterium in the yogurt product she is selling on TV may be helpful. As for Activia itself, who knows? It contains fructose syrup, which is a tough sugar for I.B.S. folks to digest, and milk products don’t work for many.
    The probiotics theory suggests that if you get healthy bacteria to flourish in your large intestine, which is the natural state of things, by consuming large amounts of the good bacteria (a probiotic product), you will have a colon that works better. Sales in the United States of nondairy probiotics were $220 million in 2005, with an annual growth rate of 14 percent.
    A review article in September 2005 by Picard et al., confirmed that the Bifidobacterium probiotic was helpful for bloating and constipation, but a 2010 systematic review by Anna Chmielewska and Hania Szajewska on the National Institutes of Health Web site concluded that probiotics were not confirmed to help. I hate when that happens.
    Milk-free probiotics or yogurt products are pretty benign therapies, so feel free to partake if you wish, but they may not have a big effect on your irritable gut symptoms. The documented improvements in the studies were not large, and other therapies may help more.
    I.B.S. does not lead to more serious disease, so you don’t need lots of tests. Try some simple interventions and see how you do. The mind-gut connection will be key for many. As the great fastball pitcher Satchel Paige once said, “If your stomach disputes you, lie down and pacify it with cool thoughts.”
