Have you struggled for years to maintain your weight within a healthy range? Have you tried eating healthily and exercising, but aren’t getting the results you need? Do you have issues with overeating? Want to get the benefits of a gastric band procedure without the danger of surgery? Then virtual gastric banding hypnotherapy may be for you.
Virtual gastric banding is the name for an approach to hypnotherapy which focuses on a client’s overeating, overactive appetite, and overall relationship with food. Beginning with a general discussion of the issue at hand, the therapist asks specific questions designed to help develop an outline of the client’s background, needs, desires, and goals. Later in the session, or in a subsequent session, the therapist will induce a hypnotic state in the client, in which powerful ‘suggestions’ can be made to their subconscious to help break their current behaviour patterns and instil new ones.
When it is done correctly, it results in the client feeling full soon after eating, reduced cravings, and dramatically improved ability to control impulsive eating. Essentially, the client’s mind is ‘retrained’ to be satisfied with less food.

Hypnotherapy techniques we use for our virtual gastric banding program
What makes this weight loss program unique is that it's not just about doing a version of gastric band surgery version using hypnosis. We will also look at the underlying causes of emotional eating, getting you in the mindset to install healthy eating habits and other techniques to make it easier to avoid negative eating habits. Sometimes this is about making changes in your timeline, doing parts therapy and helping you to let go of non helpful emotions or stories that are keeping you stuck.
Our virtual gastric band treatment process
In the first session our hypnotherapist Gary will get your history and really dig into your relationship with food and how weight is an issue for you. In the very first session, after gathering data you'll enter a hypnosis session where you'll use your subconscious mind to work on the issues at hand. Because the process is individualised, the initial session could be installing the virtual gastric band or it could be working on other issues first. Your success is the number one priority and our success rates are high because of this tailored approach.
If you were thinking about a surgical procedure for weight loss like a gastric band or gastric sleeve, virtual gastric band hypnosis is a much safer place to start and in most cases leads to much better weight management.
