Virtual Gastric Band Hypnotherapy

VIRTUAL GASTRIC BAND / BALLOON HYPNOTHERAPY

Would you like a slimmer and healthier body with all the benefits of weight loss surgery without any of the risks that can be involved with surgery for weight loss or the cost that comes with a Gastric Band Operation?

Britain is now the most overweight country in Europe and we are constantly looking to alternative methods of weight-loss after experiencing little success with traditional methods such as dieting, healthy eating and exercise.

For the past few years the media has reported on the successful medical procedure known as a ‘Gastric band’ with many celebrities admitting successful weight loss following this procedure.

This invasive surgery requires a restrictive device being placed around the upper part of the stomach which greatly reduces the amount of food that can be eaten before the individual experiences a feeling of fullness. With a high success rate (around 80%) there still exists the discomfort of a medical operation and the possibility of unpleasant side effects and with this in mind people have been looking at alternative options, one of which is gastric band hypnotherapy.

If you are reading these Virtual Gastric Band information pages then the chances are you are struggling with your weight and have tried lots of different diets that do not work. You may spend hundreds of pounds each year on the latest ‘fad diet’ or constantly search for weight loss tips to find that you lose the weight you want to lose, only to regain it a few months later.

You may have also joined lots of different slimming clubs and still failed in your weight loss goal. The reason why you may have failed with your weight loss could be your mind’s attitude to food has not changed and you could have some underlying issues that need resolving. By using this Virtual Gastric Band system we look at your weight loss problems and help you to become slimmer and lead a healthy lifestyle where you will be happier and will be able to avoid health issues that relate to being overweight

One of the key benefits of this type of hypnotherapy is that it helps to address any emotional and psychological issues which have caused an individual to begin over eating in the first place, helping them to eliminate them so they can maintain a healthy weight even years after their initial hypnotherapy treatment.

 

WHAT DOES TREATMENT INVOLVE?
The Virtual Gastric Band Hypnotherapy technique is designed to help you lose weight by making you believe that you have a real gastric band fitted but without the fears, risks, cost and side effects of going through the actual surgical procedure.
By using a number of different techniques such as positive suggestion, visualization, CBT and NLP the client believes that their stomach has been reduced. Through hypnotherapy your mind is retrained and convinced that you have had a gastric band fitted. This will lead to you feeling full much quicker and stop you from overeating just like a medical gastric band does.

The first stage of the treatment will involve an initial consultation and will involve a discussion with your hypnotherapist regarding your eating habits, your BMI, what weight loss methods have already been tried, mental health and attitude towards food.
This session is an opportunity for your practitioner to gather information about you so they can ensure treatment is personally tailored to best suit your needs. They may ask you to go into a little more detail about your eating habits, for instance asking if you tend to eat when upset or distressed, or if you reward yourself with food.

 

THE PROCESS

Your practitioner will usually begin by taking you into a deeply relaxed state which will see your pulse rate drop to a rate not far from the level it falls to whilst you are asleep. In this state of deep relaxation your subconscious can then be accessed and you will be far more susceptible to positive suggestion.

You will then be taken through each stage addressing each issue that influences your eating patterns and behaviors and throughout the procedure you will be deeply relaxed you will still remain aware of what’s going on around you
Soon after the procedure is complete individuals will hopefully feel the sensation of fullness after just a few mouthful’s, which will mean they feel hungry less often and eat less when they do eat.
