Hypnotic Gastric Band is the most effective and harmless treatment technique for people with obesity. This method developed by internationally recognized hypnotherapists and medical doctor Victor Tsan getting more and more popularity in the US and worldwide. This article explains what Hypnotic Gastric Band is all about and it works so well.
Most of the people interesting in weight loss are aware of gastric band surgery also known as bariatric surgery. It is when an inflatable silicone device is placed around the upper part of the stomach in order to decrease the size of the stomach and help to lose weight. The placement of the band creates a small pouch, at the top of the stomach. This pouch holds around half a cup of food comparing to a typical stomach that holds about 6-10 cups of food. The pouch fills with food quickly and the band slows the passage of food from the pouch to the lower part of the stomach. As the upper part of the stomach registers as full, it sends a message to the brain that the entire stomach is full. This helps the patient to feel full after the consumption of a small amount of food for a longer time. Thus, a patient can eat smaller portions, and consequently, lose weight faster.
Even though this surgical procedure is safer and less invasive than other similar surgical such as stomach stapling, it is still not without risks. Also, the high cost involved is also a potential barrier to many people.
Hypnotherapy can remove these barriers by offering an alternative method – Hypnotic Gastric Band. Instead of actually going through with this surgery, a clinical hypnotherapist can instead convince your subconscious mind that you have undergone this procedure. Hypnotists can guide you into a trance and take you through the procedure as if it is actually happening. On a conscious level, you will be aware that you have received hypnotherapy, but on a subconscious, you believe you have actually undergone the surgery.
This is important as the subconscious mind is responsible for your automatic habits. If your subconscious mind believes that you are no longer able to eat as much as before, it will act accordingly. It isn’t a problem that the conscious part of the mind is aware that you haven’t undergone surgery – the two can coexist just fine with different beliefs.
Hypnotic Gastric Band, as a treatment therapy, is safer and less costly than having the equivalent surgery performed. It is also less restrictive on how long you chew food and what type of food you eat – but the concept of smaller portions is instilled during the hypnosis sessions.
So a patient knows on a conscious level that he/she has received hypnotherapy treatment called Hypnotic Gastric Band, but a subconscious mind fully believes it has undergone a surgical procedure, and the whole body then believes accordingly.
A Hypnotic Gastric Band procedure can be done at a much lower cost than surgery and carries virtually no risk. The body remains untouched; only the subconscious mind, the part, responsible for automatic urges and habits believes and acts as if the actual surgery has been done. Once a patient is eating less, the knock-on effect will be weight loss. So, if you are thinking about having the surgery, or you are just interested in losing weight the hypnotic gastric band could be a proper solution for you.
Gastric band hypnosis – Does It Work?
This technique of losing weight called Hypnotic Gastric Band similarly to the weight-loss surgical procedure makes you believe that your stomach is small and you feel full after a small amount of food consumed.
The hypnosis for gastric band may help some people to lose weight temporarily but over time some people will begin stretching the boundaries of the stomach as some people do with the actual surgical version of the band. The one thing about the emotional and physiological aspects of overeating is that if they are not addressed, they will return back to obesity. This mау happens during those times when a person is going under chronic emotional stress. The person then may use food either consciously or even unconsciously as a comfort.
A patient’s responsibilities do not end when the hypnosis component of the therapy is finished because the treated individual still has to make permanent changes in behavior and diet. “Let me be clear that Hypnotic Gastric Band is no more a miracle. Hypnotic Gastric Band can fail in exactly the same way that surgery can fail if the proper supports are not in place and the underlying cause of food addiction not addressed. You have to look at the patterns in your life to find out your extensive food consumption. Thus Hypnotic Gastric Band can be a kick-start that sets you on the road to losing weight and keeping it off” doctor Tsan says.
To that end, a complete Hypnotic Gastric Band program includes not only the virtual surgery but also additional hypnotherapy and counseling during which patients explore the issues that underlie their weight gain problems and that trigger overeating.
How effective is the hypnosis for gastric band?
Numerous studies have shown that hypnosis is an effective method of bringing weight to normal limits especially when used along with other alternative techniques such as acupuncture, herbology, homeopathy, etc. But the question about HGB specifically is still under investigation because no randomized clinical trials have yet been published on the technique.
Who is a good candidate for weight loss hypnosis?
Due to its risks, actual bariatric surgery generally is limited to people who are morbidly obese, with a body mass (BMI) of 40 or higher, or to obese people with a BMI of 35 to 40 who also have a serious weight-related health problem, such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure or severe sleep apnea. But because the hypnotic gastric band is a virtual procedure and completely safe, it is an option not only for obese people but also for those who are merely overweight.
Many hypnotists work with patients that want to lose weight, you may have to find one who’s trained in Hypnotic Gastric Band.
