What is the Hypnotic Gastric Band

The Hypnotic Gastric Band is where you have hypnotherapy sessions which enable you to believe you have had a Gastric Band Fitted in an operation, like a virtual operation.

The operation itself is where a small piece of plastic is attached to the top of the stomach to make it small enabling the person to become fuller quickly.

Paul Mckenna explains it like this:

"Your body also communicates with your brain through the nervous system. When your stomach fills, its wall is stretched and nerves react and send signals to the brain.

These systems get thrown out of balance by overeating. The body starts to believe there must be an important reason why its signals are being ignored, and assumes the overeating is a deliberate preparation for a famine. So all the extra food is converted to fat, which is basically stored energy.

When your hypnotic gastric band is fitted, it stops that overeating, and as you move towards a healthy weight your normal responses to your hormonal and nervous signals are restored"

Hypnosis and Weight Loss

Hypnosis is a fantastic way to lose weight by focusing your mind on your weight loss goal.

For some it is helps people learn news habit to ensure they not only lose weight but keep it off. Georgia is one such person who had tried a variety of diets before having hypnotherapy. In her own words she explains what her hypnotherapist stated to her:

"four simple agreements to which I would need to adhere: Eat when you're hungry, listen to your body and eat what you crave, stop when you're full, eat slowly and enjoy every mouthful. As such, no foods were off limits and I was encouraged to eat everything in moderation—music to my ears!"

It sounds as if Georgia had a great Hypnotherapist as her advice is good. Georgia explains that she saw her hypnotherapist 8 time in the space of year and says that "The weight dropped off slowly and surely, without huge changes to my lifestyle". This goes to show the power of the mind in helping to lose weight.

The topic of hypnosis and how it may feel was then raised and Georgia explains herself in hypnosis as being "very lucid and in control". She stated how some of the visualization techniques she followed during hypnosis made her realize how creative and precise she was as person.

Can Do Craig and me Mindful mark did a video a while back to explain hypnosis and to put peoples mind a rest to how it may feel. (Apologies for the video. It was one of our early ones. ;-) )



We stated earlier in this post that some like to use hypnotherapy to break a habit which as you can see above can be very successful, others now use hypnotherapy to have a virtual gastric band fitted.
