Gastric Mind Band : Virtual Gastric Band and Hypnotic Gastric Band

Virtual Gastric Band, Hypnotic Gastric Band and Gastric Mind Band - What's the difference? Or are they all just the same? One of them of course was developed after years of research & development and has now been successfully performed on literally hundreds of patients in the US and Europe, and is often quoted as the 'Gold Standard' product.

We understand how hard it must be for someone who wants to lose weight to decide just which hypnosis based therapy to go for. Over the last two years the Internet has become literally inundated with therapists, some good, some maybe not so good, offering the ultimate surgery-free, gastric band solution, using names such as the Virtual Gastric Band, the Hypnotic Gastric Band, and the Hypnosis Gastric Bands, to name just a few. One thing is certain; they each offer at least an element of hypnotherapy, but much more is necessary to achieve permanent weight loss. The variation in the cost of the treatment must also seem highly confusing to the unsuspecting public as they view one web site after another, each offering what appears to be the same result.

The answer, or the solution to the puzzle can maybe be found in just what happened two years ago to trigger the interest in what was then a virtually unknown approach.

A journalist, Claudia Connell of the Daily Mail travelled to a British run clinic in Southern Spain which had spent two years developing a new weight loss procedure. She wanted to experience it for herself: it was the Gastric mind Band. Two weeks later she wrote a two-page feature detailing her treatment that literally got the world talking, and clients flying to Spain from around the world. Martin and Marion Shirran the developers and trade mark owners of the Gastric mind Band procedure have since been featured in just about every newspaper and magazine in the UK, and recently they travelled to the United States to be interviewed on the two largest US news channels.

Martin and Marion's Gastric mind Band has now become something of a phenomenon on both sides of the Atlantic, developing into the treatment of choice by members of the public and celebrities alike. The procedure they developed has since gone on to be the subject of the book, Shirrans' Solution - The Gastric mind Band, published by Author House.

Since the development of the original Gastric mind Band, many so-called 'copycat' systems have sprung up, and you could be forgiven for thinking they're all equally as effective and successful as each other. However when making a decision about a weight loss method you need to be as careful as you would with any other purchase, and hopefully rather more careful, as it's your health and future well-being you're dealing with. After all, you've maybe discounted the surgical band because you don't want to take the risk, incur the cost or you know you need to deal with your physiological relationship with food rather than have an operation.

Which is why you should be aware that not everything out there offers or can achieve the same, hopefully permanent result. Yes the key element that everyone's picked up on is 'fitting the band' … and we are very proud of the amount of detail our 'banding' session includes - sounds, temperature, humidity, smells, lasers and much more, everything in fact that can be used to help the subconscious 'believe' in what's being presented.

However there's much more to the Gastric mind Band procedure than just that one memorable session. Much more than just a CD. When looking at the alternatives, ask yourself what you'll be getting for the money. Ask questions such as: Is this tailored to my individual needs? Do they know about my eating history and bad food habits in detail? Will the treatment be carried out in a clinical setting on in a room in someone's home, or above a hairdressers shop? Will I be given the tools to ensure I can live with food when the course is over? Is there any follow-up or back up? What equipment do they use, have they had any training in psychology and most importantly how many thousands of clinical hours of experience do they have. You need to ensure you'll be given enough help in understanding why you put on weight in the first place. It is vital that the therapist gives you a clear understanding what, when where and why you eat - and how to change any of those habits that aren't doing you any good!

With the GmB treatment all these are true, and much more in the way of hours of CBT (Cognitive Behaviour Therapy), NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming) and other techniques that we use, such as our exclusive Pause Button Therapy. At the end of the GmB treatment each client leaves the clinic with his or her own set of carefully prepared tools, most are completely unique to the GmB including a very extensive manual, and a set of individually produced CD's of each of the sessions.

And don't ever forget there can be no fear of a return to the old yo-yo dieting scenario; this has got to be a permanent solution, it's got to be for life.

Gastric Mind Band clients benefit from the considerable research and development that went into the GmB method - before and after Gastric Mind Band Therapy the original and most thorough therapy of its kind. The developers, Martin and Marion Shirran, have now built up over five thousand one on one clinical hours working with people who fly to the clinic from around the world, each determined to achieve their ideal body weight. At the end of the GmB treatment each client leaves the clinic with his or her own set of carefully prepared tools, most are completely unique to the GmB including a very extensive manual, and a set of individually produced CD's of each of the sessions. And don't ever forget there can be no fear of a return to the old yo-yo dieting scenario; this is a permanent solution.
