Anyone Had Virtual Gastric Band With Hypnosis Or Similar ?

Struggling with my weight and predisposed to diabetes. I can't exercise as much as I used to although I do get out for a walk every day. I saw a programm on TV last night which mentioned this. I thought about bariatric surgery but decided against it. The reviews seem favorable.

I know someone who had this done by hypnosis and it did work for her..suddenly she only wanted healthy food in moderation....and lost loads..it did wear off after a while maybe 6 months but by then she had lost lots and had forever changed her eating habits ..save the odd treat now and then...

Thank u MM that is good to know x

I believe it works. If it can get smokers to quit I'd believe it could change attitudes to food.

My cousin used it to give up drinking. She didn't have a drink problem, it was more of a temptation problem. She hasn't had a drink since. This was about 3 years ago.

Hypnosis can work. The band illusion is simply one tactic to get your subconscious to agree to a change. May be worth a try. Still needs you to not assume you can eat anything simply because you've had a post-hypnotic suggestion. It's an aid to what you're striving deliberately for, not a counter to unhelpful behaviour.

I eat quite healthy, it is just my portion size that is the problem

I went along for my consultation and asked the lady lots of questions, so I decided to have the first session at the same time because I had traveled to get there. I have to say that after the last four days my appetite has shrunk. I am eating what I want but not as much. I have not even thought about sweet foods, which are my downfall, I do like healthy foods anyway. Onwards and upwards
