Virtual Gastric Band Hypnosis now available in Atlantic Canada

I'm really excited to report that I have received training and certification in Virtual Gastric Band Hypnosis for weight management. The course was taught by Sheila Granger who made the trip from the UK to New York to introduce her technique to Hypnotherapists from the US and Canada. This technique was developed in England and is just starting to catch on in the US.


I am the only Hypnotherapist this side of Montreal trained and certified in Virtual Gastric Band Hypnosis.

Gastric Band Hypnosis has recently gotten a lot of attention in the US media including ABC's Good Morning America and The View. Click on the link below to see an ABC segment on Gastric Band Hypnosis.

Here is the link to the ABC show.

Virtual Gastric Band Hypnotherapy

Gastric Band Hypnosis is directed at people with serious weight issues committed to doing whatever it takes to shed significant pounds.

60% of Canadians are overweight, with a high percentage classed as obese and suffering type II diabetes. If you fall into either, or both, of these categories then you know the health risks you live with each day, and this may just be the program for you.

This therapy uses hypnosis, NLP and powerful imagery, along with behavioral modifications, to convince your unconscious mind that you’ve had Gastric Band surgery.

Sheila Granger, a U.K. Clinical Hypnotherapist, developed her own Virtual Gastric Band technique. Over 2 trials, Granger has quoted a 95 percent rate of success with those who have used her weight loss technique.

Virtual Gastric Band Hypnotherapy uses the power of clinical hypnosis to convince the human mind that a gastric band has been fitted into the stomach. This leads to is a feeling of fullness that will happen much faster than in the past while consuming food. This is exactly what happens when gastric band surgery is done for real.

Advantages of virtual gastric band hypnosis are:

• it’s much much less expensive than the real surgery

• doesn’t involve an invasive surgical procedure

• there are no risks connected to having a general anesthetic as none is administered

• there is no danger of post operative complications

• the Virtual Gastric Band can be adjusted or even removed at a later time

As described earlier the “surgery” is performed only in the subconscious where your desire to eat (and over consume) lives. This technique, as previously mentioned, is non-surgical in nature and uses the power inherent in hypnosis to train both the mind as well as the body to take in a lesser amount of food at each sitting. It works by conveying a message to the brain that the stomach is satiated and does not require any more food.

If “adjustments” need to be made to the virtual gastric band then they can be done relatively easily. Best of all, there is no pain and no recovery time required. There is also no ongoing medical treatment required and the therapy can be done privately, comfortably and best of all – rapidly!

According to Granger, the majority of her clients have benefited from the virtual gastric band treatment. She pioneered this therapy in the United Kingdom as a component of her weight loss hypnotherapy program. Granger visited New York in mid-October 2010 to teach her techniques with other Hypnotherapists from across North America.

Halifax Hypnosis is the only hypnotherapy practice in Eastern Canada to offer this Virtual Gastric Band Hypnotherapy technique.

The process consists of 4 hypnosis sessions typically spaced 1 week or 10 days apart as well as training in self hypnosis using CDs for use at home.

There is a 3, 6, 9 and 12 month followup schedule and “adjustment” hypnosis sessions when and if required.

What is the Virtual Gastric Band?

The virtual gastric band is a way to use the process of the gastric band surgery without having to go through the surgery at all. During the surgical procedure, your stomach will be made smaller. You will only be able to eat a very small amount of food, like 4 or 5 mouthfuls comfortably. If you eat any more than that, your body will have an adverse reaction that could lead to you become physically sick. They call this dumping. It causes you to have to lie down, and continue to feel really bad physically. If you continue to eat large amounts of food, you might do some physical damage internally because the size of your stomach has been altered.

Get rid of this type of fat with the virtual gastric band program

Using the process of the virtual gastric band you will enable your imagination in a wonderful way to really access that ability that you posses to fully engage the body to respond as if you have really had the physical surgery. The mind is a very powerful part of you. There are many things that you do with your mind already that result in a physical response that is very powerful. During the virtual gastric band process you will tap into that powerful part of your mind for the benefit of your weight loss goals. And there are no negative side effects like you would experience with the actual surgery. There is no physical changes, only mental responses as if you had the physical change.

The virtual gastric band program is designed to give you back control of the amount of food that you eat, and that is just a small part of the program. Because if you are just forced to eat smaller amounts of food without taking care of the problems that have caused you to overeat, you will only be solving your weight loss problem temporarily. Until you solve your overeating problem fully, you will not be able to sustain the kind of weight loss that you really want. There’s no use to be involved in another weight loss and weight gain cycle. That’s the yo-yo dieting effect. That’s what we call a bad thing!

This is the surgical gastric band process so this virtual gastric band solution is a short term process that has long term results.
