Question:
Does anyone know what their HCG levels were? Do they double every 24 to 48 hours,

as people's before WLS? Mine was 3809 on Sunday and today Tuesday it was only 4530, it only went up 721. I am hoping it is not another ectopic pregnancy. So I was wondering if WLS patients' HCG levels are different. Thanks to all of you for helping me out with this    — Farrah M. (posted on November 25, 2003)

Hi Farrah: I see no one has answered your question. :-( I'm sorry, I don't know the answer either. I wanted to say congratulations on your weight loss and your pregnancy. I had 2 ectopic pregnancy, so I know your fear. Hope this pregnancy goes perfectly for you and your baby. Sherry

I seem to remember something about the number doubling, but I can't swear to it. Good luck!

HCG levels should not be affected by surgery, only by pregnancy & what stage of pregnancy you are at. If they are too low or dropping it can indicate a miscarrage. Congrats!
