The Virtual Gastric Band is a non-surgical and non-invasive hypnotherapy technique, which utilises the power of your mind to be satisfied with smaller amounts of food, enabling you to successfully lose weight.
The Virtual Gastric Band program changes how you think about food and gives very safe, very predictable results. The clinical hypnotherapy convinces the brain that the stomach is full after a certain level of intake, and that there is no need for more food.
The Virtual Gastric Band allows you to eat what you want, but will enable you to intake smaller portions. And, because it’s not a diet, you won’t feel deprived, miserable or hungry, the issues, which cause diets to fail. As the Virtual Gastric Band effectively negates these issues, you are left with a long-term solution to your weight problems.
The medical procedure reduces the physical size of the stomach, and may achieve the same result, but the Virtual Gastric Band can be undertaken quickly and privately, without the lengthy delay of hospital waiting lists, costs and of course carries no invasive surgery, no risks and no on-going medical treatment.
The Virtual Gastric Band program is conducted over a four-week period. The four sessions are designed to bring about a permanent change in your eating habits, to create a long-term fix.
The program includes a support hypnosis CD that is expected to be used twice a day to reinforce the new messagesto bring about the permanent change in your eating behaviour.
Martin & Marion Shirran (Spain) are the founders for this method of weight loss in 2008 & their trails proved successful. Sheila Granger (UK) developed her VGB and her trials have proved it to be 95% successful. This form of weight loss is very new to Australia and the Julie Mac Hypnosis practice is one of the few clinics offering this program.
Sheila’s trails in the UK have proved The Virtual Gastric Band to be 95% successful. The average weight a person can loose in the first week is 1-3kg and then .5 to 1 kg in subsequent weeks. As a result of this success, Sheila is negotiating further trials with the National Health Service (UK).
