Group Weight Loss Clinic - Wed July 6, 2011

Gastric Lap Band Hypnosis Clinic - TBA Johnstown - $160.00

Here are a few formal research studies on hypnosis and weight loss.

 

Bolocofsky, David N.; Spinler, Dwayne; Coulthard-Morris, Linda (1985).

Effectiveness of hypnosis as an adjunct to behavioral weight management.

Journal of Clinical Psychology, 41 (1), 35-41

109 17-67 year olds completed a behavioral treatment for weight management either with or without the addition of hypnosis. Results show that, at the end of the 9-week program, both interventions resulted in significant weight reduction. However, at 8-month and 2-year follow-ups, the hypnosis subjects showed significant additional weight loss, while those in the behavioral-treatment-only group exhibited little further change. More subjects who used hypnosis also achieved and maintained their personal weight goals.

Cochrane, Gordon; Friesen, J., (1986) Hypnotherapy in weight loss treatment

Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology. Volume: 54 489-492

Investigated the effects of hypnosis in weight loss for 60 females, at least 20% overweight and not involved in other treatment....hypnosis was more effective than a control group (17 vs. .5 pounds on follow-up).

Kirsch, Irving (1996).

Hypnotic enhancement of cognitive-behavioral weight loss treatments--Another meta-reanalysis.

Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, 64 (3), 517-519.

Averaged across post treatment and follow-up assessment periods, the mean weight loss was 6.00 lbs. (2.72 kg) without hypnosis and 11.83 lbs. (5.37 kg) with hypnosis....At the last assessment period, the mean weight loss was 6.03 lbs. (2.74 kg) without hypnosis and 14.88 lbs. (6.75 kg) with hypnosis... Correlational analyses indicated that the benefits of hypnosis increased substantially over time

Surgery-free Weight Loss Solution for the Obese

Hypnosis Gastric Band Can Be as Effective as Surgery

1. This treatment combines cognitive behavior therapy, hypnotherapy, and guided imagery. The basic procedure of gastric band surgery is explained to the client during intake and before the client is hypnotized.

2. Clients are hypnotized over five sessions and eventually guided to imagine in detail, with a background of operating room sounds to enhance the experience, that they are having gastric band surgery (also known as gastric lap band surgery):

• Over the first four sessions, the client is guided to imagine the overall preparation and procedures involved in the placement or fitting of a band around the upper part of their stomach;
• At the fifth session, the client imagines that the band is actually “fitted” into place at the upper part of their stomach;
• Positive and direct suggestions are given for weight loss, meal portion and quality of diet throughout the hypnotherapy process; the client is assisted to develop a new and more productive relationship with food;
• The client is typically asked to listen to a reinforcement CD regularly until the desired weight and diet control is permanently achieved;
• After 28-30 days the client is hypnotized and guided to imagine the band being "adjusted" and reinforcement for positive dietary and exercise changes is also repeated.

Dangers of Gastric Band Surgery

A surgically implanted gastric band is usually reserved for those classified as "obese" and who demonstrate a Body Mass Index (BMI) over 30. This surgical procedure works by reducing the size of the stomach which results in the patient feeling fuller with smaller portions of food.

Is it guaranteed?

Like any medical or therapy procedure there can be no definite guarantees. Even a surgeon cannot guarantee that an actual gastric band will work. However, the virtual gastric band has been proven to be effective in aiding significant weight loss. It should be noted that it is YOU that holds the key to losing weight. No system will work if you are not 100% committed. The mind is a very powerful instrument and by using this system of hypnosis you will have the tools and power to change your eating habits. The only way to lose significant amounts of weight is to eat less! This system helps you to change behavior and life-style which in turn provides you with the ability to lose weight and stay that way!
