Many of the weight loss referrals that I receive in my hypnotherapy practice in Atlanta Georgia, come from surgeons that have performed gastric band bypass surgery on patients that have then regained their lost weight after the surgery. The majority of the patients that have undergone this potentially dangerous procedure that requires general anesthesia, have regained most if not all of their weight within two years of their surgery! With all of the risk involved with the tremendously costly gastric bypass surgery, how is this possible? It’s because this invasive surgical procedure does not address the reason that the patient was/is over weight in the first place. Without dealing with this problem, the patient will continue the eating patterns that caused them to be overweight, and in all likelihood regain their weight.  Some have likened the drastic surgical gastric bypass surgery procedure, as like putting a band aid on a broken leg instead of repairing the fracture!

Diets utilizing will power and discipline don’t work for permanent weight loss and never can! In fact, the will power and discipline generally give out in 72 hours or less, and the individual has failed at, and then quits yet one more diet. The what’s the use feeling then sets in.

That the virtual gastric bypass procedure is infinitely safer is not open to debate, but the overwhelming reason to do the virtual gastric surgery procedure through hypnosis instead of the surgical bypass surgery, is not that it’s a less expensive and safer, which it certainly is, but because the virtual gastric bypass procedure  deals with the issues that have brought about the overweight condition in the first place, thereby delivering a permanent solution. The virtual gastric bypass procedure  addresses the root cause of the patient’s weight problem. It is also thousands and thousands and thousands of dollars less costly and the patient does not have to experience the painful recovery that one does from the surgical procedure.

No one overeats because their body is calling for more nourishment. Individuals overeat because of emotional reasons. They’re sad. They’re lonely. They’re worried. They’re angry. They’re stressed. The list goes on and on. One overeats to feel better and to overcome whatever hurt that they are experiencing.

In a word, surgical bypass surgery is a mechanical and temporary solution to an emotional problem, whereas virtual gastric bypass surgery is the cure to the emotional reasons that one over eats. The cues to overeating are found in the cognitive maps of the subconscious mind. No amount of mechanical  (surgical), or talk therapy utilizing the conscious mind in the beta brainwave state, will remedy the causes of overeating. Overeating must be dealt with in the subconscious mind – and hypnosis for over three hundred years has been acknowledged as being the only bridge to the subconscious mind.  The bottom line is this, virtual gastric band bypass surgery utilizing hypnosis therapy works!

The individual electing virtual bypass surgery will not have to experience the stress of being in a surgical suite, the anesthesia that produces  the constipation, the cutting, the sutures, the staples and of course the convalescence period. The actual speed for the loss of weight to the virtual bypass procedure through hypnotherapy and the surgical procedure  is similar. One does not leave the hospital with a huge weight loss with the surgical procedure, it takes time for the body to use up its fat stores with either method.  For a complimentary consultation to see if virtual bypass surgery is something that you might consider – call Bob Crow at 404.277.1827.
