Supposedly there's a new trend going around.
Hypnotic bariatric surgery.
Well, they call it incision-free bariatric surgery. Basically it's hypnosis where they walk you through the surgical room, complete with the wonderful smells and horrible gown, as if you're going to have surgery. Only instead of getting cut open, you get a hypnotic treatment.
The price tag is significantly cheaper than the surgery...by a long shot...somewhere in the neighborhood of a thousand to two thousand dollars.
Me, I'm not a big believer in hypnosis. I think it's a lot of touchy feely theatrics to convince yourself that you have incentive to lose weight this time unlike all the other times you've failed to lose weight and keep it off. Well, the theatrics and the much lighter wallet.
Has it really come to this? Paying thousands of bucks to take a tour of a surgical room and have a nice nap while someone whispers into your ear that you shouldn't eat so much?
Am I missing something here? Has there been any empirical evidence that this (or any hypnosis, really) works? Or is it a matter of self-delusion and placebo effect?

Hypnosis works, but i think it is a short term thing. It wears off with time. It's kind of like you remembering a dream and then forgetting it after a few hours.
ReplyDeleteI imagine you would need to go back numerous times in order to maintain whatever you want to maintain. Losing weight, stop smoking, etc.
I still think it's a combination of the WLS, with exercise, learning and implementing proper eating habits, and getting rid of the psychological baggage that started you on the wrong path to health.
But, I guess it all comes down to whatever works for you.
Nice find!
When considering potential doctors for treatment, it is important that you put in time finding a physician who will make treatment a less daunting experience as remaining in a constant state of fear will hinder the effectiveness of treatment.
