From Data Flow Diagram Shapes, drag a Loop on center shape onto the drawing page near the place where you want to indicate a data loop. Drag the begin point of the Loop on center shape to the center of the state or process shape that has the data loop. The endpoint turns red to indicate that the shapes are connected.
On-page reference This small circle indicates that the next (or previous) step is somewhere else on the drawing. This is particularly useful for large flowcharts where you would otherwise have to use a long connector, which can be hard to follow.
Draw a rectangle around the group of calls involved. Outside the box put text that says, "LOOP: [condition]" and fill in the condition. This will get you close to the UML for loops.

A solution could be to select the shapes that should be contained in the loop and then from the Visio menu select Insert -> Container. The heading on the container can then be set to "loop" or what is preferred. I personally likes the alternating container form.
