What Is Gastric Band Hypnosis?
Posted on Aug 20, 2010 | Comments 3
Gastric Band hypnosis is a much discussed topic and there is much curiosity about it currently. So what really is gastric band hypnosis?
- In this procedure, the subconscious mind, in a state of hypnosis, is made to believe that gastric banding surgery has taken place. In other words the mind is tricked into believing that there is a physical reason for being able to eat only small quantities of food when in fact there is no actual physical reason.
- There are limitations – if a person has a phobia about surgery, this is not suitable for them. If the person is anyway not a big eater, this will not help either.
- The first step to this procedure is to be in the right place emotionally as well as mentally, so the person should not have unhealthy relationships with food or any other problems, behaviors and habits that would impede progress.
- The root cause of eating is also examined here; whether it is stress, boredom, low self esteem, as punishment, or a perception of lost control that is making them eat the way that they do.
- With the therapy, the person assumes control rather than the food controlling them. They can eat as before; the difference being that they get full a lot quicker.
- There are none of the physical risks that are associated with the actual surgical procedure.

Sheila Granger is pioneering a weight loss programme, in the UK which incorporates the VIRTUAL gastric band. Conducted under clinical hypnotherapy her methods offer a highly effective alternative to gastric/lap band surgery. With ZERO risk, it doesn’t require a person to follow a liquidized diet and involves no invasive surgery.
A group trial proved the effectiveness of the VIRTUAL Gastric Band, achieving a 95% success rate amongst people of varying age and size.
Through clinical hypnotherapy, the subconscious believes the body has undergone gastric surgery to reduce the stomach to the size of a golf ball. Therefore a person needs to eat less food before feeling satisfied, ensuring weight loss at a steady rate. The only thing a person has to lose with the VIRTUAL GASTRIC BAND is excess fat.
The VGB is spread over 4 weekly sessions, the first session includes the ‘fitting’ of the band and the other 3 sessions act as a reinforcement to deal with psychological triggers for overeating and to deal with cravings and attitude towards eating.
Deeply passionate about helping people, Sheila is working with medical practitioners in the UK to demonstrate how hypnotherapy will save the NHS £Millions if recognized as a viable treatment for weight loss and other ailments. Sheila Granger, Clinical Hypnotherapist. Tel. +44 1482 863659.
I successfully lost 4 stone through hypnosis – the national papers picked up on it.
My practitioner was Russell Hemmings based in Coventry.
He’s absolutely fantastic, and used his own version of hypnotic weight loss and CBT and combines the virtual gastric band in his therapy.
Weight Loss Hypnotherapy does work. I can say from my own experience hypnotherapy for weight loss does really work, i know that because i have had it done after struggling with my weight for many years.
I must admit before I heard a radio broadcast on the BBC with Claire Hegarty who was invited on the show for being an leading expert in Weight loss hypnotherapy, i would have said to anyone who suggested that i was hypnotized for weight loss, not to be so stupid. But after struggling with my weight for many years and where my weight went all the way up to 22 stone, i listened to the show after becoming despearate and found it very interesting.
I had tried everything to lose weight, i went on loads of diets, i went to my doctor time and time again and he was not interested, i even asked if i could be given a pill that doctors give out for weight loss but he refused so i was now desperate and would have tried anything.
After listening to claire hegarty on the show and listening to what she had to say about hypnotherapy, i decided to contact her through her website, now you have to understand at this time i was still not believing hypnotherapy could help you lose weight but i did want to know more.
She explained all about hypnotherapy and weight loss and how it works to help you lose weight and i was very interested and started to feel maybe their is light at the end of the tunnel, maybe i can get back my ideal weight. I agreed to meet her and after getting on well with her i became her client. And i have to say, that i am so happy that i am now four stone lighter and still losing weight.
So what i have to say to you is, do research by all means into weight loss hypnosis, but it does work and do go to an expert and see the diference it will make to your life as it has made a huge difference to my life but make sure that they are an expert. Just because they do hypnotherapy, it does not mean they are an expert in hypnotherapy weight loss
