Virtual Gastric Band
The most important thing about the virtual gastric band in comparison to the actual gastric band is that the virtual version deals with the issues in a person’s mind and their relationship with food. Having a foreign body inside your stomach simply does not deal with the underlying psychological factors.

The virtual gastric band is applied under hypnosis, with no invasive surgery. The subconscious believes the stomach is actually smaller and the mind doesn’t allow a person to over-eat. There is no diet as such, instead simple rules to reduce portion sizes, motivation to exercise and a supporting hypnotherapy CD to listen to each day.

The core of virtual gastric band protocols is post hypnotic suggestion. Patients are taken into a trance state and led through an imagined gastric band operation. You only need to look at the media to find many spectacular successes with virtual gastric band surgery. Using techniques from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Hypno-Band helps patients develop new, healthy beliefs about food before they go on to the virtual gastric band operation.

The NHS needs to save money and considering the cost of the surgery (approximately £10K) and Britain’s obesity problem the success of the hypnotherapy virtual gastric band just cannot be ignored. The virtual gastric band can support and in some cases even replace the actual gastric band.
