Can anyone undertake virtual gastric band hypnosis?

The Virtual Gastric Band hypnosis program is suitable for most people, and most particularly for those who fall into the morbidly obese where surgery is not suitable. 

It's also a great program for those people who don’t meet the body mass index requirements to undergo conventional Lap Band type surgery.

There may be times when your medical practitioner may suggest that the 3 meal a day program is not in your best interest and this could be for many reasons.  For instance, Diabetics may need to maintain specific sugar levels.  Fortunately, the Virtual Gastric Band hypnotherapy program is super flexible and our hypnotherapist is able to modify the program to meet your individual medical needs.

Generally children under 18 years of age will not be offered this programme without consultation with their medical practitioner and/or specialist as well as consent from their parent/guardian.

Versus Lap Band® surgery:

• The cost: Lap Band® surgery and other stomach reduction surgery is expensive, depending on: the doctor’s fees, your presenting weight, your prior/current health issues, the surgeon’s fees, hospital costs, etc.

• Even with the right health cover in Australia one may need to pay from $5000 to as much as $18000.

• Side Effects: For Lap Band® surgery and other stomach reduction surgery, these may include: severe infection, leakage, lap band failure itself and a myriad of other minor side-effects such as post-operation nausea.

• Further, pain and vomiting may immediately follow ordinary food consumption.

• Actual gastric surgery patients may also need vitamised or mashed special food post-operation and often have to deal with constipation.

• There is a small risk of the band slipping and a subsequent second operation.
