The Virtual Gastric Band - Hypnosis for Weight Loss Adelaide

The Virtual Gastric Band

Over the years, I have seen many clients who have undergone the gastric banding surgery.

Some find the surgery to be a fantastic long term solution, but unfortunately for those I see in clinic, this is not the case.

I believe that the main reason why the surgery works for some and not others is because many people have an certain habits that they need assistance to change or they have an underlying mental or emotional reason to over-eat, which we will get to in a moment.

For those who are unfamiliar with the surgery, the gastric band procedure works by restricting the amount of food that can enter the stomach which is achieved by fitting a tight band around the opening of the stomach.

Many patients report that a majority of the weight comes off within a few months of the surgery and this is due to the restricted amount of food that is able to be consumed. Many people are also forced to go on a liquid diet either before or after the surgery which also contributes to the rapid weight loss.

Foods like red meat, chicken, fibrous vegetables and some fruits can be very hard to digest, whist other food like French fries and chocolate milk (just to name a couple) still seem to go down well without any indigestion, discomfort or pain. Once the initial motivation for weight loss wears off, junk food and foods that are easier to digest often appeal as an easy option and the weight comes back on... usually with a vengeance!

I was first introduced to the concept of "virtual gastric banding" by my hypnotherapist and mentor just over a year ago. Initially I was apprehensive. I wanted to believe it could work but it just seemed way too simple.

Since then I delved into the world of hypnotherapy and I was absolutely blown away by what it is able to resolve and I knew it was something that I wanted to be able to offer my patients.

The virtual gastric band protocol was part of my hypnotherapy training and I have been successfully using it with clients to help them achieve their weight loss goals.

The difference between the virtual gastric band and the actual surgery is the virtual procedure targets much more than just restricting the quantity of food you can eat.

This virtual gastric band can assist you to:

• Re-program your unconscious mind to crave healthy foods
• Create an unconscious aversion to "junk" food or "problem" foods
• Find motivation to exercise
• Eat less while feeling fuller
• Drink more water daily and to prefer water over other drinks

Most importantly, the virtual gastric band is customized for you and your drivers and the underlying cause of the weight gain will be addressed. Emotional triggers are revealed and healed and any self-sabotaging patterns will be stopped.

The virtual gastric band is a 5 session protocol and you will notice a behavioral change immediately after your first session. You will receive a hypnotic audio to re-enforce the sessions and on-going guidance and support.

The protocol is not a magic weight loss cure - you must want to lose weight and be prepared to follow instructions and do the work.
