The Virtual Gastric Band Program is an all-encompassing weight loss program utilizing hypnosis, cognitive behavioral training and neuro-linguistic programming.


It involves learning new eating habits, understanding how to make better food choices and helping you learn how to live the rest of your life with a healthy relationship with food. 

Prior to your first session you will receive an in-depth questionnaire to complete before coming to the office. This questionnaire will help you identify some of your unhealthy patterns and habits, as well as your pre-programmed thoughts and beliefs surrounding food. Answering this questionnaire can be a little time consuming, (it can be spread out over time to make the process easier), but it is a very important first step in the process of building a new healthy relationship with food.

Session 1

We will review the questionnaire you filled out. We will then discuss various diets you have tried in the past; what worked, what didn’t and why. We will discuss in some detail the changes in your lifestyle that need to occur in order for you to lose weight and maintain a healthy lifestyle. Not to worry though, the virtual gastric band hypnosis program will help you make those changes quickly and easily.


I will explain how hypnotherapy works, exactly what we will be doing in the first hypnosis session and answer any questions you may have. I will then guide you into hypnosis. While in hypnosis I will give you suggestions that will facilitate you to start a program of “mindful eating” and healthy living. The first session lasts approximately 2 ½ hours.


At the conclusion, you will receive a 15 minute CD or MP3 that will reinforce the suggestions delivered in the first session. This CD or MP3 should be listened to daily until your next session.

Session 2

Session 2 builds upon the prior session. We discuss your progress since the first session and answer any questions you may have. I will then explain Lap Band surgery, with the help of visual aids, and the process of the Virtual Gastric Lap Band Hypnosis.


You will then be guided into hypnosis where you will experience the virtual gastric lap band procedure. While you consciously will be aware that no surgery has occurred, your subconscious mind will believe that your stomach has shrunk to the size of a golf ball, so you will eat less, and more slowly, and your stomach will feel full much quicker. The second session lasts approximately 1 hour. You will receive a new 15 minute CD or MP3 that will reinforce the suggestions delivered in this session. This CD or MP3 should be listened to daily until you reach your desired size and shape.

Session 3

This session is a follow up to the virtual procedure. We will discuss your progress with the virtual gastric band and address any issues you may have faced since the virtual “insertion” of the lap band. During the hypnosis session we will build upon the prior sessions and, if necessary, “adjust” the band. We can either loosen it or tighten it, depending on your progress. The hypnosis session ends with further reinforcement and suggestions to assist you in obtaining the weight level you want and living a healthy lifestyle from now and into the future. This session lasts approximately 1 ½ hours.

Session 4

This next session continues to build upon the prior sessions. We will again discuss your progress with the virtual gastric band and address any issues you may have faced since the last session. During the hypnosis session, if necessary, we will again “adjust” the band. The hypnosis session ends with further reinforcement and suggestions to assist you in obtaining the weight level you want and living a healthy lifestyle from now and into the future. This session lasts approximately 1 ½ hours.


If you are continuing to have difficulties with a particular issue at this point, (ex: exercise motivation), you will receive another 15 minute CD or MP3 to use as an adjunct to the program.

Session 5

In this final session, we will again discuss your progress with the virtual gastric band and address any issues you may have faced since the last session. During the hypnosis session, if necessary, we will make a final “adjustment” to the band. The hypnosis session ends with further reinforcement and suggestions to assist you in obtaining the weight level you want and living a healthy lifestyle from now and into the future. This session lasts approximately 1 hour.


After the final session, you will receive 2 more CD’s or MP3’s that will support your continued success with your weight loss goals and the virtual gastric band program.

The Cost

$1495 for an Individual Program consisting of 5 sessions and 5 CD’s or MP3’s.

$995 per person for semi-private groups of 2-3 people, (you form your own semi-private group). All participants will receive their own CD’s or MP3’s.


The Virtual Gastric Band Program is offered in-person as well as online.
