Gastric band hypnotherapy involves the use of hypnotherapy, neurolinguistic programming (NLP), and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) techniques to convince individuals that they have had a gastric band fitted but without the fears, risks, cost, and side effects of going through the actual surgical procedure.
With my weight loss program we work with the mind so all changes are permanent, hence dealing with the mind and the body will follow.
THE OPERATION
The procedure itself will be intended to mimic that of the real surgical procedure, often implementing the use of sound and smell to make the experience more authentic. Ian will usually begin by taking you into a deeply relaxed state which will see your pulse rate drop to a rate not far from the level it falls to whilst you are asleep. In this state of deep relaxation, your subconscious can then be accessed and you will be far more susceptible to positive suggestions.
You will then be taken through the operation step by step and throughout the procedure though you will be deeply relaxed you will still remain aware of what's going on around you. Ian will take you through the entire procedure from being put under the anesthetic to the first incision, to the closing of the gastric band to having the final stitch put in.
Soon after the procedure is complete individuals will hopefully feel the sensation of fullness after just a few mouthfuls which will mean they feel hungry less often and eat less when they do eat.
AFTERWARDS
Individuals usually find they achieve a steady ongoing weight loss and some hypnotherapists request that their patients return so they are able to monitor the weight loss and see if an adjustment to the gastric band is needed (this is also a requirement of actual surgery) to either speed or slow down the weight-loss.
Additional follow-up sessions may also involve the use of CBT as this will help individuals to identify and understand their actions and take responsibility for them, a technique which will help a great deal in preventing the same problem from reoccurring in the future.
Other techniques such as visualization may also be used at some stage. For instance, you may be asked to picture an item of clothing that you love but don't fit into after gaining weight. Ian will ask you to visualize yourself wearing this item once again so that next time you are planning on overindulging or are going to eat even though you're not truly hungry this image of you will come into mind and will act as a deterrent.
Patients are also often encouraged to return for a long-term weight management session where Ian will often discuss and formulate a maintenance plan which will help them to maintain their weight on a long-term basis
