Virtual Gastric Balloon Technique Frequently Asked Questions.
Does it really work?
In response to the media demand for proof in the form of 'before and after' photographs, we now ask all new clients if they would be kind enough to have professional pictures taken during the sessions for possible publication at a later date.
We believe, and we are certainly not alone: like many other hypnosis clinics around the world, we often instigate immediate change in people's thinking. We help clients with fears of flying to easily fly and clients who were afraid of water to swim when they believed it was impossible and people with the fear of public speaking to confidently getting up in front of a group with ease. We helped smokers to drop a twenty year habit in a heartbeat. These are of course minor examples....
How well does it work?
Excellent question! Our future success and reputation depends on our clients' success. We rely on both positive publicity and personal recommendations, so you can rest assured that we want your success as much as you do.
Just like traditional Gastric Band Surgery, which has a 70 - 75 % success rate, the hypnotic Virtual Gastric Balloon technique does not provide a 100% solution, (very few things in life do!). In our practice we project a success rate in the region of 75%. Success is dependent on the person being committed to losing weight and prepared to follow the program while making a few small recommended lifestyle changes. Then a successful outcome can be expected.
What is the cost of additional sessions should they be needed?
Aside from the two highly recommended follow up sessions most of our clients do not require additional sessions. Occasionally it has been requested by our clients to return for one or more additional sessions. Should this be the case, then the sessions would be charged at $185 each.
Is the Virtual Gastric Balloon Technique suitable for everyone?
With our technique the restrictions are much more flexible. For instance Virtual Gastric Balloon technique can be used with out being obese. If you have struggled with your weight for a long time. If you are frustrated with all the dieting and you are ready for a permanent life style change then the Virtual Gastric Balloon Technique is perfect for you.
On the other hand, if you are suffering from a psychological eating disorder, (binge eating, bulimia, or anorexia), then our technique is not the right course of treatment for you at this time. We would recommend that you first see a therapist who specializes in your particular eating disorder, and when you have successfully completed those sessions, we can happily discuss the possibility of you undertaking the Virtual Gastric Balloon technique.
Are there any side effects with this technique?
Our program is completely natural and there are absolutely no adverse affects - the only real side effect is for you to lose the desired amount of weight.
The weight starts to come off after the very first session, and should be steady and continuous until you are happy that you've reached your goal weight.
Do you provide any dietary advice once the sessions have started?
We don't advise following any specific diet as such. The Virtual Gastric Balloon Technique's aim is to help our clients move away from the whole idea of the dieting. We advise you to make sure you eat a well-balanced, healthy, overall diet, in small portions.
Once I reach my target weight how can I be sure to keep it off?
With the Virtual Gastric Balloon Technique our clients change their whole attitude toward food and eating. During the sessions you will go through a process of re-educating your mind, so that you end up thinking of food as a source of nutrition, rather than an emotional crutch. This will become a permanent lifestyle change and will last a life time.
When you get close to your target weight, we recommend a final, adjustment session of the Virtual Gastric Balloon Technique and Hypnosis. We do this to be sure that you are fully prepared with both the tools and the knowledge to manage your weight successfully.
