With the traditional, surgical, gastric band proceeded there are a number of medical factors that are normally required to be met before an individual is accepted as a suitable candidate. However with the Gastric mind Band Therapy the restrictions are more flexible, as an example GmB therapy can be used to help people who are overweight rather than obese.If you have simply struggled with your weight for a number of years, and have tried lots of different diets, and currently have a BMI of 25 or over, then the GmB therapy is perfect for you.

On the other hand, if you are suffering from a psychological eating disorder, (binge eating, bulimia, or anorexia), then the GmB therapy is not the right course of treatment for you at this time. We would recommend that you should first attend a course of Cognitive Behaviour Therapy sessions specifically for your particular eating disorder, and when you have successfully completed these sessions, we can happily discuss the possibility of you undertaking the GmB therapy.
