Question:
Has anyone taken the HCG hormone after having WLS.

It has been over three yrs. since having surgery and I am at a stand still. I only lost 50 pounds from surgery to begin with. I work out at the gym still. I had to have a hysterectomy (partial)about a yr ago and since then I have gained 10 lbs. My husband is thinking about taking this HCG hormone for weight loss and I was wondering if I could do this with him. Thanks.    — shelleymm (posted on October 12, 2010)

I had RNY in 2006 I lost half my weight 131 pounds- I wanted to loose 5 more pounds- but could't get it off. in the last year I have gained 10 pounds. Like most people I feared gaining any weight. I actually just started the HCG Plus diet drops today. I have seen amazing results with this diet.I don't personally know of any RNY patients using it. but I am willing to try it. It can't hurt. Best of luck to you what ever you decide to do!

"It can't hurt"?! Of course it can. It would be foolish and dangerous to take a hormone as part an unproved, untested ultra-low-calorie weight-loss fad. Please don't try it.
