Virtual Gastric Band hypnosis developed by Sheila Granger is making headlines in the UK. With a 95% success rate in trials so far, Sheila is the only hypnotherapist in the world to conduct trials for weight loss via hypnotherapy.
Gastric Band surgery is costly to both the health care system and the patient. Financially the cost of each operation is between eight to ten thousand dollars depending on location. The process involves a radical change in diet and invasive surgery. Sheila is presently supported by a number of medical professionals in her campaign to bring Virtual Gastric Band hypnosis to the National Health Service in the UK.
Gastric Band hypnotherapy is inexpensive and easy by comparison to the surgical method. It allows the client to simply relax their way into weight loss while changing the emotional thought patterns that lead to overeating.
Virtual Gastric Band Hypnosis Program
The Virtual Gastric Band hypnosis program is designed to allow the power of hypnosis to retrain the mind. Through the use of hypnosis the mind and body will be trained to be satisfied with less food.
Many people who overeat have become desensitized to their body. Eating is no longer a result of hunger but a result of an emotional pattern built up over time. The program allows clients to reconnect with their bodies signals of being both hungry and full.
Virtual Gastric Band hypnosis allows the client to receive treatment quickly and privately within a relaxing office setting. There is no need for ongoing medical treatment, no risk of infection or complications and no need to be on an extensive waiting list.
Virtual Gastric Band Hypnosis Success
The initial trial that Sheila set up included 22 people of different ages, weights and lifestyles but with the common denominator of having a history of dieting. Her initial expectations were low because of the group nature of the session. She expected to see a 50 - 60% success rate. The results were much higher.
Out of the group of 22 people, 21 reported success. The group as a whole lost 190 pounds over the five-week trial. This result has been repeated in her private practice as well.
A research program is being designed at present in order to study results of the program internationally. All practitioners trained by Sheila have been invited to take part in the trial.
Virtual Gastric Band Hypnosis Success from a Personal Perspective
As a Virtual Gastric Band hypnosis certified practitioner I am able to realize the benefits of this program personally. My band was hypnotically implanted on June 10 2011. Over the past 18 days I have reduced my weight by 10 pounds. This is approximately three pounds per week which is slightly more than the range of one to two pounds weekly that the program has as a goal. Results will vary depending on amount of exercise undertaken during the period.
The most important thing to remember about the Virtual Gastric Band hypnosis program is that the goal of one to two pounds per week is meant to be achieved without dieting. There are no food restrictions on the program. The program is designed to allow the client to reduce naturally and unconsciously without eliminating the foods they love.
The search for an easy effective weight loss program has been going on for decades. International research into Virtual Gastric Band hypnosis may provide at least one answer.
