Gastric Hypnosis Band Hypnotherapy Brisbane

1. What is a gastric hypnosis band?
A gastric hypnosis band (also called a "virtual gastric band") is a hypnosis-based weight loss technique that convinces the subconscious mind that you have undergone gastric band surgery, making you feel fuller faster and helping you naturally eat less.

2. How does gastric band hypnosis work?
Through deep relaxation and suggestion, hypnotherapy helps reprogram your eating behaviors by creating a powerful mental association with having a smaller stomach, leading to reduced portion sizes and healthier food choices without surgery.

3. Is gastric hypnosis band therapy safe?
Yes. It’s completely non-invasive and safe because no physical surgery is involved — it works purely through the mind’s natural power to influence habits and perceptions around food.

4. How effective is a gastric hypnosis band for weight loss?
Many people experience significant weight loss when they fully commit to the program. Success depends on consistency, personal mindset, emotional readiness, and following supporting lifestyle changes.

5. How many sessions are needed for a gastric hypnosis band to work?
Typically, the program involves around 4 to 6 hypnotherapy sessions, although some people may benefit from additional sessions for reinforcement or deeper emotional work related to eating habits.

6. Who is a good candidate for gastric band hypnosis?
It’s ideal for people who struggle with overeating, emotional eating, portion control, or food cravings — especially those who want a natural alternative to surgical procedures without medical risks.

7. Will I physically feel a gastric band after hypnosis?
You won’t feel a literal physical band, but many clients report sensations of fullness sooner during meals, reduced appetite, and a greater sense of control around food, as if they had surgery.

8. Is it necessary to diet while doing gastric hypnosis band therapy?
No harsh dieting is required. The focus is on listening to your body’s hunger signals, eating smaller amounts naturally, and developing a healthier, more mindful relationship with food.

9. Can gastric hypnosis band therapy address emotional eating?
Yes. A skilled hypnotherapist often incorporates emotional healing techniques into the sessions, helping resolve the emotional triggers behind overeating or food cravings.

10. When should someone choose gastric hypnosis band over surgery?
If you want a safer, non-invasive option without surgical risks, costs, or recovery time — and if you're willing to engage mentally and emotionally in the process — gastric hypnosis band therapy can be an excellent alternative.
