Virtual Gastric Hypno Band

Gastric Band Hypnosis in Benfleet, Essex - the virtual "no surgery" option

Gastric Band Hypnotherapy – choosee the cheaper, safer, more empowering pathways to success!

Gastric Band Hypnotherapy, (also known as Non-surgical Gastric Bands, Gastric Band Hynosis, Hypnotic Gastric Band or Hypno Bands), uses hypnotherapy, NLP and EFT techniques to use your personal motivation to make a change. This is combined with positively phrased suggestions which aim to take root in the subconscious mind in order to help you explore, evaluate and alter your eating habits.

Gastric band hypnosis aims to persuade your subconscious mind that you have had a Gastric Band fitted; so you could feel all the sensations without any of the risk or discomfort of surgery and still lose weight.* However, as with all other weight loss methods, this won't work unless YOU commit to altering and adapting your life-style. With my assistance and know-how, you will learn about portion control, calorie counting and how to control and maybe even banish your emotional triggers. Together we can can achieve this in just 3 simple steps!

*Please be advised hypnotherapy and hypnosis are natural practices and the effects will vary for each individual depending on their ability to conform to the process and the follow up care specified.

What does Gastric Band Surgery entail?

Hypnotherapy - hypnotic gastric band - hypno band

Gastric band surgery works by physically dividing the stomach into a small “upper pouch” and a larger lower "remnant pouch"; literally making the stomach smaller. Food collected in the upper pouch is essentially your new sized stomach and therefore, you feel fuller quicker.

The cost of gastric band surgery is very expensive, ranging between £4,000 - 15,000 (dependent on which procedure you selec), and there are lots of risks and possible side-effects, ranging from hernias and vomiting, to potentially fatal infectons or blood clots. Some people who have gastric surgery experience dizziness, bouts of diarrhoea, or fainting from low blood sugar linked with low nutrient absorption for the remainder of their lives.

Gastric band hypnosis has none of the horrible side-effects that you could get with surgery, is not painfulin any way, is obviously far cheaper, and there's no need to take any time off work or be laid up in bed for weeks recovering!

Food and Emotions

Cheating can also be a massive issue for some people who have gastric band surgery, often because they have not dealt with the emotional issues which drive them to overeat or turn to comfort foods; i.e. individuals often crave foods such as cake, crisps, chocolate or junk food, even alcohol… any of these can be liquidised and slipped through a real gastric band. So all that money being spent getting that invasive surgery is all for nothing, if you are still going to abuse your body.

What people often failt to consider is that a vital part of losing weight involves developing a healthier, happier relationship with your food and changing your lifestyle and exercise regime. Your emotions, how you eat (when and what) are so interlinked, that it can be extremely difficult to get healthy and lose weight, without first tackling any emotional connections you have to food.

Surgery to fit a gastric band cannot change your eating habits or your emotional attachments to food, but hypnotherapy and the other therapeutic methods I use, could help provide you the tools you need to address these issues.

Common Triggers for Over-Eating

Just think about it… when you are bored, stressed, or upset do you grab a bag of crisps or bar of chocolate? Are you using food to “medicate” yourself because of an emotional issue? Does eating distract you from your problem just for a moment? It probably does, maybe for a few seconds, but then comes the unhappiness or guilt about what you have just eaten, or how much you have had, which simply makes the problem worse.

The Virtual Hypnotic Gastric Band

I have updated and re-configured my concept for the Virtual Gastric Band; now it makes it simpler for those who want to lose weight quickly, but incorporates a little extra groundwork and support, something that is needed to help kickstart a healthier routine. I know you want to lose weight fast, but now is not the time to cut corners and hope for the best, that’s probably what got you here in the first place. I am skilled and can teach you tools to help but I cannot do this for you, but I can support you and give you tools to achieve the success you want. This means that your commitment to the programme is vital and you will be assessed over a 3 week period with your diligence in calorie counting and getting it right, before the band is even granted. This way I know you have the skills to continue to help yourself stay in a healthy lifestyle, mentally and physically, long after our time together is over.

Your virtual gastric band aims to give the feeling of a stomach that is full when you have consumed about a cup/mug of food/drink. It is ideal for those that are very overweight which is at least 3 stone (19kg) over what your ideal weight range should be for your height. It’s aim is that you will be able to consume 3 to 4 small meals per day. These effects will only occur if you allow yourself to accept the hypnotic suggestions fully and follow the after-care policy correctly.

The Process in Detail - Steps 1 to 3

The process of 'mentally embedding’ a Virtual Gastric Band consists of:

Initial Telephone Consultation FREE of charge Only clients that I feel are able to cope with the hypnotherapy techniques, and will be committed to following the aftercare guidelines, will be approved. You will be told at the end of the consultation if if I feel gastric band hypnotherapy is suitable for you. Those who are selected will follow the programme detailed below; there may be slight variations in the programmes format to tailor it to each individual.

Hypnotherapy - hypnotic gastric band - hypno band

Step One (1 hour session) I will ask you further questions about you and the relationship you have with food. You will be given a calorie counting diary and information on how to count effectively, the pitfalls to look for etc.

Also included is your first hypnosis weight loss treatment!

Between this session (and the next two) it is time to prove your commitment to your life style change!

Step Two (2 x 1 hour sessions) This time is partly used to nip any food diary issues in the bud, unless you have cracked it; if so, you should already be seeing some results on the scales and feel more enlightened about where you were going wrong before! Then, together, we will work on removing any emotional blockages or self-sabotaging behaviours with tailor-made hypnosis and/or EFT methodology, as part of an individual programme designed just for you. This time will aim to help you to eliminate any emotional blocks as to why you have not succeeded in losing weight before. It may also help you (if appropriate) to deal with: bad eating habits you may have and/or triggers for overeating. It could also help boost your self confidence and motivation to exercise.

At the end of these three hour long sessions, if you have proved you can maintain your food diary and commit fully to the process, then it’s time to book step 3 so we can do some extensive reprogramming and get the virtual gastric band fitted!

If you fail to show commitment during steps 1 and 2 by not completing food diaries and following the guidelines set for you, you will be denied progression to step three!

You will not be obliged to pay the remaining instalment that covers this part of the programme if this is the case.

Step 3 (4 hour session) Virtual Gastric Band “implantation” day. I will introduce the idea that you can feel full on just a small amount of food, this assists you in mentally ‘shrinking’ your stomach and establishing the Hypnotic Gastric Band. You will be given all the information, tools and support to help the process be successful. However it is up to you to follow the guidelines set out to ensure your success!

So, if you are determined that you’ve had enough of being overweight and are finally willing to fight for yourself and your happiness, then get in touch so we can start your new lifestyle journey today!

Succeeding after Virtual Hypnotic Gastric Band Implantation

The long-term success of your Virtual Hypnotic Gastric Band will depend on you being able to make and maintain the major lifestyle and dietary modifications which are akin to those, had you undergone gastric surgery. It is vitally important that you eat a balanced, healthy diet, as the meals you consume will be smaller, so each mouthful counts. All the food you eat needs to be nutrient dense. You will be given information to help address these issues.
