In the pursuit of sustainable weight loss, individuals often explore various methods, including surgical interventions. However, a 
revolutionary and non-invasive alternative gaining popularity is the Hypno Gastric Band. This innovative approach harnesses the power of hypnotherapy to create positive behavioural changes, providing a host of benefits compared to traditional surgical options.
Advantages:
One of the primary advantages of opting for a Hypno Gastric Band is the absence of physical surgery. Unlike invasive weight loss surgeries, such as gastric banding or bypass procedures, hypnotherapy offers a non-surgical, pain-free solution. This eliminates the associated risks, complications, and recovery times. Making it a more accessible and appealing option for individuals seeking a safer route to weight management.
The process also involves preparation before surgery, i.e. one has to stop smoking and follow a low-fat low-carbohydrate diet for 1-2 weeks prior to surgery. This is to shrink the liver and make it safer and easier to fit the band. And then, although the surgery is fairly quick, the general recovery before the band is inflated and adjusted would be a further couple of weeks.
The patient may also need up to six adjustments of the band in the first year to get the correct inflated rate so that they can eat the correct amount. If the band slips or leaks, further surgery may be required or the band may require removal.
In the US currently, more Gastric Bands are being removed due to complications than put in.
How does the Hypno Gastric Band work?
Hypno Gastric Bands operate on the principle of altering perceptions and behaviours related to eating habits. Through deep relaxation and guided imagery, individuals undergo a mental process that convinces the subconscious mind of the presence of a gastric band. This psychological intervention can lead to reduced food intake, improved portion control, and an overall healthier relationship with food.
Moreover, the benefits of Hypno Gastric Bands extend beyond the physical realm. Participants often report heightened motivation, increased self-esteem, and a positive shift in their mental wellbeing. By addressing the underlying psychological factors contributing to overeating or unhealthy habits, hypnotherapy empowers individuals to make lasting lifestyle changes, fostering a holistic approach to weight management.
Addressing the mind, and the body will follow:
The sessions help one to use their mind differently. Getting out of that old primitive way of thinking and directing themselves into a more logical and rational mindset.
Another compelling advantage is the affordability and accessibility of hypnotherapy compared to surgical alternatives. Hypno Gastric Bands offer a cost-effective solution without compromising on efficacy, making it an attractive option for those who may be deterred by the expenses associated with the different bariatric surgeries. According to the NHS website:
“Typical prices are:
Gastric band surgery – £4,000 to £8,000
Gastric bypass – £8,000 to £15,000
Sleeve gastrectomy – £8,000 to £10,000”. (https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/weight-loss-surgery/who-can-have-it/)
In conclusion, the benefits of choosing a Hypno Gastric Band over surgical interventions are multifaceted. This non-invasive, psychological approach not only promotes weight loss but also addresses the emotional and psychological aspects of overeating. With its safety, affordability, and transformative potential, hypnotherapy emerges as a compelling and viable alternative for individuals on their journey to achieving lasting and sustainable weight management.
