I am going to try hypnosis to deal with weight loss and my pain levels. I will keep you posted on how it works for me.

Trix, how is it going, what do you think. I thought hypno for weight loss, but think I will super glue my mouth and kill two birds at once.

I can't believe how well it works. It is so relaxing. My appetite is incredibly diminished. I can hardly believe it. In the last two days I have eaten less than I sometimes have eaten in one meal. And I am satisfied. I am not hungry. So far it isn't helping with the pain, but if I lose some of the weight the theory is that I will be better able to deal with pain.

are you going in person to see someone or using a CD at home?

I might just try that for losing the lbs too.

I go to a place called Positive Changes. You go in twice a week, and are hypnotised by someone there. They then record your session, and you replay it for yourself everyday. They also give you a cd to listen in the morning when you get up, and at night when you go to bed. After a twenty minute session, I felt like I slept for 2 hours. I was actually rested. It was great. I am going on a nine month program. You can do less or more. After talking to them I felt that this would be best for me. I can get help in more areas than weight loss. They have quit smoking programs, pain control, personal growth, programs to help your self confidence. They even have programs that will help you with your golf swing. LOL I don't believe I will make use of that though.
I am really enjoying it.

I tried when all this TOS stuff first started for me it was great. In our sessions we would talk about what was bothering me and how to attack it and then they would hypnotise me and provide positive suggestions while I was under.

The best part is they recorded the sessions and provided it for my Ipod and on CD so I could do it at night at home before bed.

Helped me to relax.

Hope this works for you.I tried hypnosis to quit smoking shortly
after being dxd with tos .It worked for 6 hrs.I could not stand
smell of cigs .Went straight to car wash and tried to make it
smell better.That evening I took medication for pain .It over road hipnosis.
It upset me think the effects of pain med/mind altering.
On a positive note I would like to try again maybe get a recording will help.
I hope you continue to get releif.Thanks for the idea.
