Gastric Band Weight Loss Results Without The Surgery?

How Hypnosis Is The Newest Frontier In The Battle Of Obesity

Perhaps you’ve heard about gastric bypass and gastric band surgeries for obesity? The risks are high, the success rate low and the side effects unpleasant. You still have to change your diet and exercise and the reasons you became overweight (psychological, emotional, physical, genetic) are all still there, so change is still a struggle.

Enter the latest development on the hypnosis horizon –a hypnotic procedure that emulates the process of gastric banding, but without you actually having to experience the actual surgery! In the last couple of years several very curious and enterprising hypnotists around the world have developed techniques and programs to achieve the positive results of the gastric lap band surgical procedure through hypnosis. These hypnotic gastric band programs are sometimes referred to as virtual gastric bands, mind bands, mental bands, hypno bands, hypno lap bands, and so on. There are too many to list. My own trademarked version is called HypnoBariatric.

Here are three news items that discuss and describe how the hypnotic gastric band works, including one about Sheila Granger, one of the gastric band hypnosis pioneers.

 

 

 

 

How HypnoBariatric Gastric Lap Band Hypnosis Works

The key element of any of these programs, HypnoBariatric included, is to leverage your subconscious mind into believing the you have had the gastric lap band surgery and that you have the band in place. In fact, the only ‘surgery’ you have had is ‘mental’ –all in the mind. Having married mind and body through hypnosis, the positive results are steady weight loss, reduced appetite, reduced cravings, feeling hunger satisfied while eating less, remaining full longer, and because these programs tend to also include hypnosis directed at addressing the underlying causes of obesity (the habits, behaviours, thoughts and emotions), they tend to result in clients being able to maintain the weight loss over the long term

So it is no wonder that the virtual gastric band or lap band hypnosis is garnering such intense interest. We’ve long used hypnosis to assist clients to more safely and easily lose weight, but now we have another technique in our hypnosis tool-kit. Weather you have just a few pounds to lose or a lot, if you have been struggling with weight loss, if you have tried every diet and yet still have extra unwanted pounds, then the HypnoBariatric procedure may be for you.

It all sounds pretty amazing, doesn’t it. Well, it may seem amazing, but it is real and it does work.  To celebrate the launch of my HypnoBariatric program I am offering 10 spots at absolutely no cost. Yep, a $900 program for zero dollars. This is a one-time-only offer. When it is gone, it is gone. Only individuals willing to commit to the 4 sesions over 4 week program need apply. If it’s not for you, then tell your friends. Maybe they want to save $900 and risky surgery.  Apply for HypnoBariatric right now.

I believe it won’t be long before my waiting list grows longer.

This could be the most important 4 weeks of your life and it starts July 6th!

Still think you would rather go under the knife instead? Or maybe your weight is just fine. If it is, then keep doing whatever it is you’ve been doing because you must be doing something right.

Why Might HypnoBariatric Be Better Than Actual Bariatric Surgery?

If you’ve had a gastric bypass, then you anatomy is permanently altered. If you have had adjustable laparoscopic gastric banding (aka gastric band or lap band) then, unless your behaviours and mindset have changed, the chances are high that you will regain your lost weight once the band is removed because a lap band is meant to be temporary. The other problem with these bariatric surgeries is that you usually have to be morbidly obese to be considered to qualify for surgery in the first place. What if your are not already morbidly obese? Who wants to gain weight in order to get the surgery? Would you rather experience this….

 

 

Or this…Take a look at this video to see what real surgery is like. It is not trivial.

 

 

Beautifully done. A true marvel that surgery can be done in this way. Though a rapidly growing (pardon the pun) area of the weight loss industry, adjustable laparoscopic gastric banding (aka gastric band or lap band) carries with it the considerable risks associated with:

• anaesthesia,
• a surgical procedure with  4-5 incisions with plastic tubing stitched in place to your stomach,
• scars,
• device malfunction,
• a port coming through the muscle and skin of your abdomen and glued in place,
• pain,
• required drugs pre- post- and during surgery,
• potential infection,
• compromised health in the form of nutritional deficiencies
• continued cravings,
• continued emotional eating,
• potentially regaining the weight once the band is removed,
• possible damage to your internal organs,
• digestive disturbances,
• the financial costs of the surgery
• loss of work time and income

Is the list long enough for you?  This article from the Annals of Surgery describes the risks of gastric banding surgery. Don’t like the site of blood…Here’s is an animated version of the surgery for squeamish types.

None of this looks or sounds at all fun to me. So, I ask you, if you could get all the benefits of gastric band surgery, safely and easily, without all the dangers, wouldn’t you?

Affirmation of ME

Welcome. I share, with you, this page and my very personal “Affirmation of ME”. 

An affirmation is a declaration of the truth of something. This “Affirmation of ME” expresses my truth. You may think of my “Affirmation of ME” as an intention, an assertion, a testimony, a philosophy, a wish, a belief, a pronouncement, a hope, an oath, a ‘mindscription’, a manifesto or a prayer. To me, it is all these and more.

However you wish to receive these words, may they bring you peace, love, joy, freedom and a greater understanding of who you really are, what is possible, and your place in this amazing world.

I share, with you, my “Affirmation of ME” with positive intent. May these words resonate with you, with as much strength and power, as they did me when I first wrote them. If these words strike a cord in you, please link to it, share-it, post-it on your wall, Tweet-it and send it flying around the world.

From my heart and mind to yours, here it is.

Affirmation of ME

I am ME –Manifest Energy.
I am energy in continuous transformation –releasing and receiving.
I am energy uniquely manifest through light, water, air and earth.
Through these I have come, through these I am, and through these I shall return.

To light, I release that, which no longer teaches me.
From illuminating, healing, energizing light, I receive
…to create, to think and to ignite my mind.
In every moment, with gratitude, I am releasing and receiving.

To water, I release that, which no longer serves me.
From freeing, flowing, cleansing water, I receive
…to communicate, to balance and to dissolve my emotions.
In every moment, with gratitude, I am releasing and receiving.

To air, I release that, which no longer inspires me.
From all encompassing, mysterious, expansive air I receive
…to dream, to aspire and connect to my spirit.
In every moment, with gratitude, I am releasing and receiving.

To earth, I release that, which no longer sustains me.
From nourishing, stabilizing, solid earth, I receive
…to build, to strengthen and to heal my body.
In every moment, with gratitude, I am releasing and receiving.

I recognize that through these I have come, through these I am, and through these I shall return.
The energy that is me is never lost.
So be it.
I am ME.
