Weight loss can be challenging, especially when eating habits feel automatic or difficult to change. You may find yourself eating more than you need, even when your intentions are clear.
This program takes a different approach. Using guided hypnosis, it is designed to simulate the psychological experience of gastric banding, helping you feel satisfied with smaller portions and more aware of when you’ve had enough.
It works by creating a shift in how you perceive food and portion size, supporting a more natural sense of control and balance in your eating habits.
- Feel satisfied with smaller portions
- Develop greater awareness of fullness
- Strengthen control over eating habits
- Support gradual, sustainable weight loss
This is a more structured and intensive hypnotic approach, designed to support meaningful change in how you think about and respond to food. It is important to read the usage guidance before listening, as this session is designed to be used differently from our standard sessions. When used appropriately, it can complement a broader effort to improve your relationship with eating.
Important: Please read this guidance before using this session.
This is not a standard session. It is designed as a structured two-part program.
- The first session is a one-time “virtual surgery” experience and should only be listened to once.
- The second session is an “adjustment” session, intended for use several weeks later to reinforce the effect.
Because this is a more intensive approach, it is best suited to those who are already comfortable with deep relaxation through hypnosis. If you are new to self hypnosis, we recommend starting with one of our standard sessions first.
It works most effectively when combined with broader changes in mindset and behaviour. For this reason, you may benefit from completing our
7 Steps to Successful Weight Loss course beforehand.
This session is designed to support change, but it should be used at the right time and with realistic expectations.
This session will be available immediately after ordering, both on the website and through our app. This is a one-time payment, not a subscription.

How this works
Smart Session Features
This session is a Smart Session, meaning you can personalise how it sounds and feels, without changing the core content.
- Background music – choose from a library of 12 different tracks, or listen without music.
- Music volume – from subtle to immersive, or turn off completely.
- Induction style – Up to 5 different induction approaches, depending on how you like to settle in.
- Session length – shorter or longer versions where available.
- Ending style – wake-up or sleep-friendly endings, depending on the session.
- Binaural beats – optional background frequencies to support relaxation and focus.
You can make these changes either on the website before downloading, or inside our app.
These options allow you to tailor the listening experience while keeping the session itself exactly as designed.
How to Use This Session
This contains two sessions that are designed to be used in a specific order.
Begin by listening to Session 1, which contains the Virtual Gastric Band procedure. This session is intended to be used once only.
After completing Session 1, listen to Session 2, which acts as an adjustment and reinforcement session. Most people will only need to use this session once, although you may choose to revisit it at a later date if you feel it would be beneficial.
Because these session rely heavily on your ability to relax and engage with the experience, we recommend that you are already familiar with hypnosis or relaxation recordings before using it.
For additional support with long-term weight management, you may also wish to consider our "7 Steps to Successful Weight Loss" course, which focuses on developing healthier attitudes and behaviours around food, eating and weight loss.
