Gastric Band

Gastric band, or more precisely virtual gastric band often works really well with weight control. The hype that has been written about in the papers often does not address that it really is only suitable for those people who eat too much and don't have too many emotional issues around food.

How do you test yourself for suitability without shelling out too much money and find that it really is not right for you?

Sadly, some therapists just take on clients without exploring the background around their eating. I like to think none of the students I have trained would do that, but you do hear of cases where the therapist is in it just for the rich pickings.Fortunately I have not heard of any cases in Norfolk, but am sure that other parts of the country have had such problems. Not only does it bring the reputation of professional hypnotherapy into disrepute, but it give the clients ideas that hypnosis does not work well.

It can work extremely well, and if there are emotional problems, they can be dealt with first. The notion of virtual gastric band has been around for at least ten years, but someone jumped on the bandwagon and thought they could introduce it as sensational and the latest thing to take off.

If you are considering virtual gastric band, ask yourself these questions to see if you are suitable, and then find a good therapists who will understand any concerns you may have.

Are you just aware of eating too large helpings at your meals?

Do you often feel satisfied with your meal but greed takes over and you want more?

Do you find yourself picking at food and never really feel hungry?
