Is Hypnotic Gastric Band Therapy An Effective Alternatve To Surgery?
Posted by: Gerri Post date: May 24th, 2010
I thought I must be hearing things when I first heard about hypnotic gastric bands as an alternative to surgery. How could that possibly work? It sounded a little weird to say the least.
Hypnotherapy is available for treating various problems and addictions and it does seem to be effective for some people. If you have struggled to give up smoking then hypnotherapy might be an effective way of reinforcing your desire to quit but how can hypnotism work to help you lose weight?
The basic idea is that through gastric band hypnotherapy you become convinced that you have had the surgery which restricts the size of your stomach. You become convinced that after eating a smaller portion of food than usual your stomach feels full and you can eat no more. It is a fascinating idea and if it works then it is a wonderful alternative to invasive surgery with the inherent risks of that.
If you have ever been tempted to try gastric band surgery then perhaps you should consider hypnotic gastric band therapy before you resort to anything more risky.

I can say from experience hypnotherapy for weight loss does work, i know because i have had it done.
I must admit before I heard a radio broadcast on the BBC with Claire Hegarty who was invited on the show for being an expert in Weight loss hypnotherapy, i would have said to anyone who suggested that i was hypnotized for weight loss, not to be so stupid. But after struggling with my weight for many years and where my weight went upto 22 stone, i listened to the show after becoming despearate and found it very interesting.
I had tried everything to lose weight, i went on loads of diets, i went to my doctor time and time again and he was not interested, i even asked if i could be given a pill that doctors give out for weight loss but he refused so i was now desperate and would have tried anything.
After listening to claire hegarty on the show and listening to what she had to say about hypnotherapy, i decided to contact her, now you have to understand at this time i was still not believing hypnotherapy could help you lose weight but i did want to know more.
She explained all about hypnotherapy and weight loss and how it works to help you lose weight and i was very interested and started to feel maybe their is light at the end of the tunnel, maybe i can get back my ideal weight. I agreed to meet her and after getting on well with her i became her client. And i have to say, that i am so happy that i am now four stone lighter and still losing weight.
So what i have to say to you is, do research by all means into weight loss hypnosis, but it does work and do go to an expert and see the diference it will make to your life as it has made a huge difference to my life but make sure that they are an expert. Just because they do hypnotherapy, it does not mean they are an expert in hypnotherapy weight loss, when making an appointment ask them are they experienced in this and do they have good results.
