Weight Loss and Weight Management with Virtual Gastric Band Program or Virtual Gastric Sleeve Program

What is your best option to Weight Loss and Weight Management?

Levels of obesity have been on the rise for decades now, it is estimated overweight or obesity has trebled over the last 30 years (NHS.UK). Records complied state that one in two women and three in five men are either overweight or obesity. This problem has only augmented with the Covid19 and associated stresses and anxieties.

When it comes to weight loss there are many options, diets, shakes, surgery, exercise, etc.,

How many diets have you tried, did they work, how long did you persist with the diet, were you able to achieve the weight loss you desired? It’s generally accepted that weight loss can be achieved with a “diet”. However, most diets include some form of deprivation and/or denial, or point-counting, and when the diet fails, we are even more programmed to think about food all of the time. As a result, the weight we’ve lost tends to return, and this can be disappointing and damaging to our self-esteem and confidence as well as our health. Diets may get the weight off short term, but they do not keep it off long term.

Shakes work as meal replacement, but did they cause stomach upset, what happened when you stopped taking them, were they permanent means of weight management?

Exercise can assist you in weight loss but it not a means to permanent weight management, could you maintain a high intensity exercise regime and diet, do you have the time?

Surgery is expensive (approximately $13,000 for Gastric Band and $28,000 for Gastric Sleeve), plus you will need to take time off work, endure pain and discomfort. Surgical procedures reduce your stomach but in many cases patients’ stomachs increase in size over a period of time because surgery does not address your behaviors, your thoughts, the control food has over you, your head hunger, emotional hunger, habitual thoughts relating to food. Patients often revert to overeating thus again increasing the size of their stomach, losing control of their weight.

Hypnosis alters your attitude with food, your thoughts about food, your relationship you have with food and allows you to take control of food. Hypnotherapy via either the Virtual Gastric Band program or the Virtual Gastric Sleeve programs provides a natural way to control weight without turning to expensive surgery and it’s  associated risks. For most people dieting and exercising are enough to lose weight and provide ongoing weight management.

Virtual Gastric Band or Virtual Gastric Sleeve provides all the benefits of weight loss surgery, but without the risk of an invasive operation, no drugs, ongoing side effects, no ongoing purchasing of diet foods and without the expensive medical costs of a physical operation. There are no lengthy hospital waiting list delays, and no on-going medical treatment, your subconscious mind uses the concept of these surgical procedures.

Hunger, believe it or not, actually stems from the brain, the brain registers those certain nutrients are needed such as carbohydrates, proteins, potassium, magnesium, etc. The brain transmits a message to the stomach, it then generates a feeling of hunger. Hypnosis allows you to address the REAL motives for weight loss and ongoing weight control.

Hypnosis for weight loss and ongoing weight management has a very high success rate (+90%). Virtual Gastric Band Hypnotherapy or Virtual Gastric Sleeve Hypnotherapy is like ‘flicking a switch in the brain.’ It changes a person’s attitude towards food, changes the control food has over them, helping them eliminate cravings and bad habits, ensuring a healthier relationship with food, it is a long-term solution weight loss and weight management program.
