How Gastric Band Hypnotherapy Works

The procedure of gastric band surgery is explained to the client during an in-depth and detailed intake session and before the client is hypnotized. Typically the emotional root-cause of the over-eating issue is dissolved using standard hypnotherapeutic techniques, including regression.

Typically, clients are eventually guided to imagine that they are having gastric band surgery:

   1. Over the first three to four sessions, depending upon the client’s readiness the client is guided to imagine the overall preparation and procedures involved in the placement or fitting of a band around the upper part of their stomach.

   2. At the appropriate session, the client imagines that the band is actually “fitted” into place at the upper part of their stomach.

   3. Positive and direct suggestions are given for weight loss, meal portion and quality of diet throughout the hypnotherapy process; the client is assisted to develop a new and more productive relationship with food.

   4. The client is typically asked to listen to a reinforcement CD regularly until the desired weight and diet control is permanently achieved.

   5. Depending on results the client is guided to imagine the band being "adjusted" and reinforcement for positive dietary and exercise changes are also repeated.

   6. Dietary and lifestyle changes are also "suggested" in hypnosis and reinforcement CDs are utilized for continuing support as indicated.
