Shustar 395 Posted May 27, 2015 Five years ago I lost over 65 pounds using HCG which is supposed to preserve muscle, trick the body into burning fat and accelerating weight loss. I gained most of the weight I lost due to poor habits, yea, go figure. I am sure I am not the only one who has tried HCG so just wondered if the combo of the Gastric Sleeve and HCG might work.

spiritfilled 32 Posted May 28, 2015 I have heard about it and I don't know much about it. Is this a good way to lose weight? And how long did you keep it off and how long did it take you to lose it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Soapandcandlequeen 124 Posted June 6, 2015 I have done HCG more than once and lost but did not keep it off. I have surgery Monday. I don't know if I would mess with that unless you have been sleeved for awhile. Good question though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shustar 395 Posted June 6, 2015 I kept most of the weight off until I quit smoking and had a very stressful legal situation at work. After I get stabilized after surgery, 2 months or so, I might give it a try since I still have a good supply. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jimetta 3 Posted June 7, 2015 When I did hcg injections, I could only eat 5 different items and only 500 calories. I lost 40 pounds. I don't think that's a good combo with sleeve. Just my opinion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
krissy202001 5 Posted June 7, 2015 I also don't think it's a good idea, if only because of the excess skin and Hair loss. You usually have both from WLS and the hcg will make it worse, I think. I lost 45 lbs on hcg a few years ago but gained it all back plus more after I stopped the diet! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
momfromjersey22 403 Posted June 7, 2015 I definitely would not try it. I lost weight on it before but also lost hair, that's why I stopped it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LipstickLady 25,682 Posted June 7, 2015 I was sleeved so I could stop the cycle of fad diets and tomfoolery. Now I eat healthily and exercise. It works. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lfry925 38 Posted June 7, 2015 I was sleeved so I could stop the cycle of fad diets and tomfoolery. Now I eat healthily and exercise. It works. exactly. Give the sleeve a chance. Why are you thinking about pills already? I'm glad I'll never have to do a fad diet again! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
judyoz 240 Posted June 7, 2015 There is no way I would use it with a sleeve. Just looking for trouble if you ask me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
