Virtual Gastric Band

The following is the press release used after the completion of the 'Virtual Gastric Band' trial.

Virtual Gastric Band’ could save the NHS £Millions

Since undertaking a trial for the ‘Virtual Gastric Band’ last year, East Yorkshire based hypnotist, Sheila Granger is continuing to help people to lose weight. The group trial showed a 99% positive result.

A group comprising of twenty-one people of varying ages, lifestyles and weights shared one common factor - a history of diet plans and a struggle to maintain a satisfactory weight and size.
The virtual gastric band is applied under hypnosis, with no invasive surgery. The subconscious believes the stomach is smaller and the mind doesn’t allow a person to over-eat. There is no diet, instead simple rules to reduce portion sizes, motivation to exercise and a supporting hypnotherapy CD to listen each day.

Hypnotist, Sheila Granger explains:-

“In the first week I explained that I do not wave a magic wand, instead by consciously following the rules each person should achieve a natural, steady loss of inches.”

“Twenty-one candidates completed the trial and each of them experienced good results over the five-week programme.”

“When the trial began I expected to see a 50-60% success rate. In a group the hypnosis is watered down as I am unable to focus on individual issues - it is much more general. However, I am very excited to find that we have had a 99% positive result. The final session was a tightening of the band and now I won’t see the group until late November for pre-Christmas support.”

The figures from the 5-week trial are as follows:-

22 candidates – 21 successes

Total group loss – 4.73 metres

Average loss – 22.5cm

Most individual lost – 47cm

Least – 5cm

Sheila goes on to explain: “The key is to focus on inches lost rather than weight, however, in approximate terms 1 inch lost equates to 1lb. Therefore, we estimate a group loss of approximately (190inches) = 190lb or 14 stones!"

One particularly successful candidate due to undergo an actual gastric band operation is under a consultant at Castle Hill Hospital . She weighed 21.5 stones and has herself recorded more than 2 stones weight loss since the trial began. She is considering cancelling the operation as she is so pleased with the success of the ‘Virtual Gastric Band’.

She explains: “I have reduced my portion sizes dramatically and joined the gym. I feel motivated and my willpower is supported by the hypnosis.”

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 psychological factors.
A surgical patient can still over eat and burst the band, plus they have to eat a pureed diet. With the virtual band, if they find they are eating too much, it can be tightened under hypnosis, there is no invasive surgery and they are treating the psychological problems not just the physical.

Another successful candidate Amanda Brown says: “It has changed the way I approach food. I no longer constantly think about it like I used to, I feel in control.”

Prue Blake said “I have enjoyed listening to the supporting CD each day. It made me feel relaxed and re-energised. I now feel more in control of my eating habits and have stopped nibbling and eating in-between meals.”

Sheila Granger explains:
“The general consensus from the group shows increased will-power and no need to deprive themselves of the foods they enjoy. As humans if we are told to avoid something, we crave it even more.”

“I have been reporting this success to the NHS as I know the virtual gastric band can support and in some cases replace the actual gastric band. The NHS needs to save money and considering the cost of the surgery (approximately £10K) and Britain’s obesity problem the success of the virtual band cannot be ignored. Unfortunately so far, I haven’t received a response.”

WHAT IS HYPNOSIS?
In order to allay some of the fears and misconceptions concerning hypnosis. I would like to make it clear that what takes place under hypnosis is safe, natural, and non-magical giving very predictable results.
There is absolutely no question of being controlled or manipulated, or even induced into a hypnotic state against your free will. A person in hypnosis is not 'asleep', but in fact often more aware of what is taking place than usual and their senses are far more effective too. Nobody can possibly be made to do anything against their will and virtually anybody can enter a hypnotic state. Anyone who says "nobody can get me under" or "I wouldn't want anyone controlling my mind" are really demonstrating that they have no idea what hypnosis really is.

´A VALUABLE ALTERNATIVE TO DRUGS FOR ANATHESTHESIA, TO ACCELERATE HEALING, RELIEVE STRESS AND CONTROL PAIN´

The state of hypnosis, a totally natural phenomenom, is very pleasant and very relaxing, and a person can converse very easily whilst within the state. It is inconceivable that any harm could come of them. In fact, the centuries old technique of hypnosis is being used increasingly as an alternative to orthodox medicine, where it is providing valuable accelerating healing, relieving stress and controlling pain. A good definition of hypnosis is, "a state of relaxation with heightened awareness".
In hypnosis it is possible to recall and resolve past memories which relate to current blockings. Old, outdated and inappropriate patterns of behaviour can be dropped in favour of new, more rewarding ways of being. It can be really satisfying to receive a boost to your self confidence and esteem and to feel back in the driving seat and in control of your life.
