Gastric mind Band Therapy for
                        Weight Release

Imagine an overweight person who was considering having a gastric band fitted. Instead they visit a clinic where, after 3 sessions with a hypnotherapist, they are asked to make themselves comfortable and lean back in a reclining chair. A short while later they remember being gently taken through a virtual reality type experience (a combination of CBT, guided imagery, visualization and deep hypnotherapy), involving a gastric band fitting procedure, then waking up afterwards, completely convinced in their own mind that they have just undergone a surgical operation under general anesthetic. But they are still sitting in that same chair...

They can recall things like getting very relaxed after the conversation about the 'Pre-Med'. The journey from the ward to the operating room  on a gurney seems vivid in their mind. The strange 'clinical smell' of the operating room was very real; in fact they can still smell it now. They remember starting to drift off to sleep after talking to the anesthetist about the general anesthetic, and being aware of the unusual sounds of the medical equipment: indeed they are so convinced they underwent surgery and had a gastric band fitted that they feel the need to touch their stomach just to be sure!

How did they do that?   

Or was it really just a dream?


The development of the Gastric mind Band (GmB) therapy originated in a Clinic in Spain from a conversation with a client, who said, "I just know that if I had a Gastric Band fitted like my neighbor the weight would drop off me. Couldn't you just hypnotize me and make me believe that I had undergone the procedure and be done with it?" An interesting idea! Hypnotherapy alone proved not to be the solution, but a possibly unique therapy was developed, combining Cognitive Behavior Therapy with Neuro Linguistic Programming, Guided Imagery and Hypnotherapy and the client's wish was granted!
