Hypnotic Gastric Band

Hypnotic Gastric Band - Weight Loss Surgery Without the Surgery

It’s important to note that “Gastric Band” hypnosis or the “virtual gastric band” as it is sometimes known, is a tool amongst many available in a professional hypnotherapists “toolbox”. This area of hypnosis has attracted a lot of media attention over the last few years and many people now offer the treatment. If you are reading this page you are already researching into this area and thorough research is vital if you are to find an reputable, experienced, capable, therapist who is skilled enough to tailor the treatment to you as an individual. Look behind the website (and the mind boggling terms and abbreviations they try to impress you with!) and get to know the therapist before you choose. Do you feel that they truly want you to be physically lighter…or just want to “lighten” your pocket? How willing are they to share responsibility for your success?

To help you in your search for the best therapist for you, I have compiled a list of more in depth questions that you might like to add to your own when speaking with a hypnotherapist. CLICK HERE TO SEE THIS INFORMATION.

Weight Loss Surgery – Without the Surgery! – More about the Hypnotic Gastric Band

The Hypnotic Gastric band is not a suitable therapy for everyone, nor is necessary for everyone. You can still benefit from the power of hypnosis to help you lose weight, without having the Hypnotic Gastric Band treatment. The Hypnotic Gastric Band is an optional extra to my regular weight loss programme, which has helped many people lose weight without the Hypnotic Gastric Band option. Indeed, used with the wrong client, the Hypnotic Gastric Band can even be a setback to some clients – and you’ve had enough of those, would you agree?

After an in depth, preliminary consultation (with no obligation), either face to face or by telephone, you will have a good idea about the best option for you and whether or not the therapist is the one for you. Don’t feel embarrassed about saying that you need some time to think about your decision. It’s an important step for you to take and it warrants serious consideration.

Should there be a mutual agreement to proceed with the treatment, my Hypnotic Gastric Band programme is normally carried out over four sessions, each approximately lasting one hour. During the time we will spend together we will cover the issues that are relevant to your weight loss challenges, uncovering the reasons you struggled in the past and ensuring you are fully prepared to face the future with confidence.

One of the major advantages of the Hypnotic Gastric Band over the Laparoscopic (surgical) Gastric Band is that I deal with the emotional and psychological reasons for your eating habits and food choices. (Many people who choose to have the laparoscopic (surgical) gastric band are still tormented with food cravings and feel an “emotional hunger” which cannot be satisfied with food). Choosing hypnosis to help you regain your healthy weight allows you to change your relationship with food. During the course of treatment I offer, you will begin to feel good about yourself again and regain the control and the confidence that perhaps you need to make lasting change in your life and stay healthy and slim in the long term.

You might well wonder how your mind can stop you overeating, when you have maybe been doing it for years? Hypnosis helps you to make profound changes to the way you think about food. The Hypnotic Gastric Band works because your thoughts can produce physical reactions in your body, which control the amount you eat. The Hypnotic Gastric band programme allows you to regain control over your thought processes around food and consequently your behaviour. Have you ever felt that nauseous or panicked feeling in your stomach or in your throat, perhaps if you thought you had lost something or if you had a near shave in the car etc? In such situations your heart beats faster, you may begin to sweat or feel overcome suddenly with exhaustion. These physical symptoms have been produced by a thought in your mind (eg. “I’ve lost my purse!” or “I’m about to have a car accident!”). Some people refer to this as the “mind/body connection”. However, this is only an example to illustrate my point about the mind/body connection. Rest assured, you will only feel positive feelings with the Hypnotic Gastric Band procedure!

Hypnosis prompts you to make profound changes to your attitudes and beliefs in the area of your life that you want to improve.

Thoughts are powerful things that shape your life

Thoughts produce physical changes in your body.

This is how and why the hypnotic gastric band works so beautifully!

Over many years of helping people to lose weight I have come to realise that staying motivated, inspired, content and supported is crucial to long term weight loss success. There are a range of support options available once you have finished my programme and we will discuss these during the time we spend together. It is important to note that the after-care should encourage your independence and does not necessarily involve further treatment from a therapist!
