Virtual Gastric Band Hypnosis

Just wondering if anyone has had any experience with Virtual Gastric Bypass Hypnosis.  It started in Europe I believe and has been profiled on abc news. http://abcnews.go.com/GMA/video/gastric-mind-band-weight-los s-hypnosis-11743607?&clipId=11743607&cid=embedded

It is offered in Halifax now by Halifax Hypnosis. I understand this is the only place east of Montreal where it is available.   

I'd like to hear of anyone's personal experiences and success with this.

Thanks

Thanks for the info.  I don't really know anything about this either but wondered if anyone on the board did.  I've been referred for surgery but the wait time is so long and I do need to get some weight off in the interim for health reasons.  I wondered if this might help overcome the psychological aspects of eating while following a diet/exercise program.  I haven't been successful in the past with losing weight through diet and exercise alone and keeping it off.   For sure, I'm not promoting this as an option for anyone, just looking to see if anyone had any experience, positive or negative.  I'm still researching out of province surgery but it is expensive.  Wish the wait time here was shorter as I'm sure everyone does.

I also tried Hypnosis foe weight loss after my friend had success with smoking cessation with hypnosis. It was a waste of $80 for me.

Hello - I'm a clinical hypnotherapist working in the UK. I was one of the first hypnotherapists to be trained by Sheila Granger in the UK and I now use the Virtual Gastric Band technique with my own clients.

It's an amazing technique and the success I have seen in my clients dose support the 95% success rate shown in Sheila's trials.

I know Sheila has been training therapists in the US though I'm not sure about Canada yet so it may be worth an internt search to see if there is a practitioner near you. In the meantime if you'd like some more info on the Virtual Gastric Band take a look at

I have ordered Hypnotists Vance Romane's 7 cd set called virtual gastric band with hypnosis.  He has been helping thousands of people in Canada with hypnosis for over 45 years according to his website. 

Apparently he learned the method of creating a virtual gastric band from a British hypnotist who has a 95% success rate with this method. 

There is a lot of information on this on his website

Hi

I'm over here in the UK and I've had Virtual Gastric Band Therapy from a hypnotherapist nearby.

I'd tried loads of diets and weight loss schemes and whilst I always lost weight, I always ended up putting it back on.

I've lost about 25 lbs since December without dieting. I was extremely sceptical initially but it's worked so far, so no complaints there.

Obviously the UK's a bit too far for you to come but looking on her website, it looks like she's coming over to Canada sometime this year. It doesn't say what exactly for, but you never know.

Hi
I am running a research project for The Gastric Band Hypno weight loss and we have had amazing success so far as you know weight loss is not just about reducing the stomach size and I have had many clients come to see for Lap Band Hypnosis / Gastric Band hypnosis some who  have already a Lap band / gastric band in place.
 
They have lost a lot of weight and then put it back on again . ( By liquidising food) this is mainly because the underlying psychological learnt behaviours between food and learnt habits have not been addressed and new eating habits often haven’t been installed.

So if you are thinking of Lap Band Hypnosis/ gastric band hypnosis or in fact even having a lap band / gastric band installed please make sure that you also look at the issues you have around food. Llooking at them is not enough because going over old ground doesn’t necessarily help anything after all if you broke your leg by falling down the stairs would you go back up the stairs and throw yourself down again?? Breaking down the old neural pathways (promise it’s not painful :) ) along with a few small healthy habits. This Will ensure your weight loss is permanent and healthily achieved.
I can really empathise with you and I am now 46 years old and when I was 24 I was 5 stone overweight. At the time I was a practising psychologist and counsellor but it wasnt until I had hypnotherapy ( hence why I trained) that i lost all the weight and havent had any issues with food since
Beacuse I'd like to help .
If you'd like a Hypnsois CD and free workbook that covers all 3 angles ( Breaking emotional ties with food, putting in healthy stuff , and then the Gastric Band Hypnosis Operation please see

I wish you success, remember  you are worth it !! :)
