Virtual Gastric Band - Gastric Band Hypnosis in the news again!

Yet again, one of my trained practitioners in The Virtual Gastric Band has been featured in the news.

Sara Oppenheim-Somerville, Consulting Hypnotist at Metro Behavioral Health Associates in New York City and Scarsdale, New York, tells me that her practice has recently been featured in a Daily Health News article:

Gastric Band Hypnosis: “Virtual” Alternative to Weight-Loss Surgery

In this article her colleague Jennie J. Kramer, founder and executive director of Metro Behavioral Associates Eating Disorder Treatment Centers, explains the process of The Virtual Gastric band and the amazing success of this unique form of gastric band hypnosis.

The York press - Slimmer Loses 7st with Virtual Gastric Band

The York Press have recently written an article about the success of one of my clients - here is a snippet for you:

"THOSE who don’t believe in mind over matter should have a chat with Selby super slimmer Sonia Kelly. Sonia, 40, claims her seven stone weight loss is down to her being hypnotised into believing she had had a gastric band fitted.

Now Sonia is halfway to her dream weight of 13 stone – and she didn’t go anywhere near a surgeon’s knife. She tried having a “virtual gastric band” fitted through hypnotherapy and 18 months later the professional carer has dropped five dress sizes."

What do Hypnotherapists do? (Daily Mirror article)

In a recent article in the Daily Mirror, Miriam Stoppard wrote an article explaining exactly what Hypnotherapy is:

"Rather than putting people into a deep trance, hypnotherapy works on the theory that when you’re deeply relaxed you’re susceptible to suggestions that can help you do something positive, like giving up smoking or overcoming a phobia.

A hypnotherapist will teach you how to get into this state of deep relaxation through breathing techniques. Once there, you can use visualisation to help you achieve your aim, like flying without fear.

You need five or six sessions to help you learn these techniques."

It's good to see a major UK Newspaper explaining in the simplest of terms what we, as Hypnotherapists, are trying to achieve. In my opinion, Hypnotherapy is the safest method of losing weight on a long-term permanent basis and studies of my Virtual Gastric Band have demonstrated a 95% success rate.

Speaking at the Australian Hypnotherapist Association

I have just returned from Australia where I spoke at several seminars on the success of my Virtual Gastric Band therapy.

This proved to be a really successful trip and rose awareness of the therapy to such an extent that we were even featured in the Australian press. You can read all about it in these clippings from the Melbourne Observer.

My visit was so successful that I've been asked to return and the following dates have been pencilled in:

8 / 9 October - Sydney
11 / 12 October - Adelaide
14 / 15 October - Perth

More information will follow in due course. I was also fortunate to have received the following video testimonial from The National President of the Australian Hypnotherapy Association, Antoine Matarasso:

Are you a registered Clinical Hypnotherapist looking to learn how to help people lose weight through my Virtual Gastric Band?

If so, please contact me or visit my website page on Gastric Band Alternatives - here is a short video from one of my courses:

NHS Gastric Bypass

There has been an interesting article this week by the mens' magazine QETY about Gastric Bypass Operations that don't go quite according to plan.

The article is very short, but it does include a photo of the after effects of a gastric band bypass operation ...... it's not a pretty sight, trust me.

Yet it just goes to show what people are prepared to go through in order to lose weight, especially after they have tried weight loss programmes and diets that have yielded poor results.

Maybe this is the reason that more and more people are turning to Hypnotherapy to achieve results without surgery or yo-yo dieting. At the end of the day, using a virtual weight loss hypnotherapy service is a viable alternative (without the pain) of having gastric band surgery.

As a hypnotist offering a gastric band surgery alternative I've seen the joy and freedom experienced by people who have struggled to maintain their preferred shape and size.

I'm currently looking at extending monitored trials which I know will demonstrate the effectiveness of my Virtual Gastric Band ..... watch this space .....
