The Virtual Gastric Band is a remarkable weight loss program which was pioneered by Sheila Granger in the United Kingdom. Having trained with Sheila Granger on The Virtual Gastric Band procedure, we are now pleased to offer the program to clients in our hypnotherapy clinic located in Sunbury, Victoria.

The Virtual Gastric Band program is not a diet. We all know that diets only work in the short term, and that once the diet is stopped, any weight that was lost whilst on the diet quickly returns.

Sheila Granger’s Virtual Gastric Band Program uses hypnosis to condition the sub-conscious mind into believing that a band has been placed around the top portion of the stomach in order to create a small stomach pouch thus reducing the amount of food that one needs to eat in order to feel full. And, because it’s not a diet, you won’t feel deprived, miserable or hungry, which are the issues that usually cause diets to fail.

The hypnotherapy process retrains the mind to become satisfied with much smaller food portion sizes, so there is no need for more food. It changes the way you think about food leading to the weight loss you desire. The Virtual Gastric Band provides the benefits of weight loss surgery, but without the risk of an invasive operation, and without the expensive medical costs of a physical operation. There are no lengthy hospital waiting list delays, and no on-going medical treatment.

The Virtual Gastric Band is for people who want to lose weight, but either don’t want or don’t qualify for physical surgery. The Virtual Gastric Band is available at a fraction of the cost of real surgery and has comparable results. It is very safe, has no side effects, does not involve the use of drugs, it is completely painless, and there is no need to take time off from work in order to recover.

Sheila Granger has conducted a free trial for 25 people and found that it was proved to be positive for 24 of the 25 people. The total weight loss was an impressive 190 lb (419 kg) in 5 weeks. A medical GP in East Yorkshire, England, arranged for a second trial to be conducted for 12 of his patients who had been removed from the bariatric surgery list on the UK’s National Health Services waiting list. Again 95% of the group experienced a positive result.

Since the trialled and proven effectiveness of the Virtual Gastric Band, provisional arrangements are now underway for a pilot study to be carried out in the UK. A steering group is also being formed to organise clinical trials internationally. We will be conducting a trial with our own clients, and we will post the results on this website once they become available.

Having trained with Sheila Granger on The Virtual Gastric Band procedure, we are now pleased to offer the program to clients in our hypnotherapy clinic located in Sunbury, Victoria.

The program consists of four hypnotherapy sessions which are personalized and tailored to the individual. The Virtual Gastric Band is hypnotically installed in the first session and the client believes they have undergone surgery to have the Gastric Band inserted. Following the first session food portion sizes are greatly reduced accordingly.

The following three sessions are generally conducted on a weekly basis.
