What is the Hypnotic Gastric Band
The Hypnotic Gastric Band is a guided hypnotherapy experience designed to help you imagine and experience the feeling of having a gastric band, without surgery. Through hypnosis, visualisation and therapeutic suggestion, the programme helps you develop new associations around food, portion awareness, satisfaction and eating behaviour.
The aim is to help you feel more in control around food, reduce unhelpful cravings and support healthier, more consistent choices. The programme is personalised to your individual goals, habits and lifestyle.
This is a non surgical, non invasive hypnotherapy approach. You remain aware and in control throughout the process, and every session is tailored specifically to you.
Your Hypnotic Gastric Band Sessions
Before we begin your sessions, you’ll complete a personalised questionnaire covering your goals, eating habits, lifestyle and anything else that may be relevant to your programme. I’ll review this before your free one hour consultation.
During your consultation, either online or in person, we’ll discuss your goals in more detail and make sure the programme is tailored specifically to you.
After your consultation, you’ll receive a short 19 minute hypnosis audio introducing the Traffic Light Food System. This gives you a practical starting point for making clearer food choices before your first session and helps prepare you for the programme.
Session:1
Emotional Release & Subconscious Reset.
In your first session, we work with the subconscious mind to gently explore emotional patterns formed earlier in life that may have influenced your relationship with food and weight. There is no need to analyse or relive past experiences. Your mind can work with whatever is relevant while you remain relaxed, comfortable and in control.
The session begins with a calming full body relaxation and deepening process to help you feel comfortable, supported and deeply relaxed. Positive affirmations are introduced, together with your personalised Peace and Calm anchor. This anchor gives you a simple way to reconnect with the relaxed state you experience during your hypnosis.
Your first session is recorded for you to listen to once a week between your first and second appointments. Session 2 takes place three weeks after Session 1, so you will listen to your recording three additional times before returning for Session 2.
This weekly repetition helps reinforce the relaxation process, strengthen your Peace and Calm anchor and prepare your mind for the next stage of the programme.
Session 2:
The Two Roads
n this session, you explore two possible paths and the different futures that may develop from your current choices.
One road represents continuing with familiar eating and lifestyle habits. You imagine yourself one year, five years and ten years into that future, becoming aware of how those choices may affect your health, energy, confidence and overall well being.
The other road represents the direction you want to move towards. You imagine yourself making healthier food choices, moving your body regularly, having more energy and feeling more confident in your relationship with food and your lifestyle.
By experiencing both possible futures in your imagination, your mind can begin to recognise which direction is more aligned with your goals. The process helps strengthen your motivation and encourages choices that support the future you want.
Session 3:
Hypnotic Gastric Band Procedure
n this session, you are guided through a deeply immersive hypnotic experience designed to simulate the feeling of having a gastric band without surgery. You are taken through a realistic hospital setting and operating theatre environment, using carefully selected sounds and sensory suggestions to make the experience vivid and engaging.
During the hypnosis, your mind is guided through the imagined procedure and the placement of the virtual gastric band. The experience is designed to create new associations around portion size, fullness and satisfaction, helping you become more aware of how much food you need and supporting you to feel satisfied with appropriate portions.
The aim is to help change automatic responses to food and strengthen healthier eating behaviours. Rather than relying solely on willpower, the process works with your subconscious mind to support greater awareness, improved portion control and more confident food choices.
The Hypnotic Gastric Band is a hypnotic simulation and does not involve surgery or any physical alteration to your stomach. You remain aware and in control throughout the experience, and the process is completely tailored to you.
Session 4:
Subconscious Adjustment & Self Hypnosis
This session focuses on reinforcing and adjusting your Hypnotic Gastric Band experience as your eating habits and goals continue to develop.
While deeply relaxed, you are guided to revisit the virtual band experience and make any hypnotic adjustments that may be appropriate for your progress. This may involve imagining the band becoming tighter or looser, depending on what you feel you need at that stage of your programme.
You are also taught how to access this relaxed hypnotic state independently, giving you a practical self hypnosis technique that you can use to reinforce focus, motivation, portion awareness and healthier eating behaviours.
This session is recorded for you as a personalised self hypnosis recording. You will listen to it once a week while working towards your target weight, helping to reinforce the changes developed throughout your programme and maintain consistency as your habits continue to change.
Session 5:
Reinforcement and Lifestyle Integration
In this final session, we bring together the work completed throughout your Hypnotic Gastric Band programme and reinforce the positive changes you have developed around eating habits, portion awareness, food choices and motivation.
The focus is on creating a healthier and more balanced relationship with food and movement. You are encouraged to find enjoyable and realistic ways to become more active, whether that means returning to an activity you previously enjoyed or introducing something completely new.
The session reinforces the healthier patterns established throughout the programme, helping them become more familiar and natural as part of your everyday life. The aim is to support consistency, confidence and long term behavioural change rather than relying on willpower alone.
By the end of the programme, you will have a collection of personalised techniques and recordings that can continue to support you as you work towards your goals and maintain the positive changes you have made.

What my clients have to say
Celine C.
I have had an extremely positive experience with James, and he has totally transformed me. I had never tried hypnosis before and was unsure what to expect, but James is a gentleman and a true professional. I had four sessions, and after each one, I noticed a big improvement. His calming voice always made me feel relaxed, and his audio recordings are great. I highly recommend him.
Therese L.
I have lost 14lbs and feel great. James tailors the hypnosis to the individual. I felt completely relaxed and comfortable throughout. He explains everything in detail so you understand the course. I had an addiction to chocolate and used the gastric band, and I have not craved chocolate since. I am now more organised and proactive about my food. I highly recommend James.
Andrea S.
I finally feel in control of my eating habits. I tried everything to stop mindless snacking and lose weight, but nothing worked until this hypnotic treatment. After just a few sessions, my cravings disappeared. The changes came naturally, without stress or willpower battles. I have lost weight and feel more confident than I have in years. Hypnosis helped me reset my relationship with food in a way I never thought possible.
