HCG injection

Ok with all that I read on it... WHY would it help with weight loss? Everything that I found on it talks about ovulation induction.... i'm so confused!

I'm not sure. The doctor at the clinic said it reduces the size of fat cells. When I googled it and added "diet" I found a couple of forums where people who have had it before were looking for a clinic that gave them. Evidently some people have had what seems to be great success with them. I haven't had an injection so I can't say. I do get B-12 injections and I take a hormone replacement daily (synthroid). Who knows... I just thought I would pose the question to see if other clinics were offering it. Thanks for the input though!

Now that sounds very interesting.... but I kinda wonder how it works AFTER you stop taking that shot.... if you blow up again or what? lol I wonder how often you get these shots and how expensive they are... and what the possible side effects are.

NO! NADA! NEIN! NINGO! NEVER! No-veroni! NONE!NO@!We want you. I think I'd check the AMA disciplinary board on that doctor.

I dont know about it Jazzy... I didn't blow up after I stopped Phen.... I lost more weight.... lol

I think I do better when I'm 100% in control of myself.... when I have to answer to myself.... when I know it's all me that I have to blame if I succeed or fail....not a medication.

SusaninNC.. let us know if you get this shot and how you're doing!

Yes I'm very SURE I was only on Phen for 10-14 days... and I see more people that have problems after they stop taking the Phen that are NOT eating balanced and drinking water and exercising ..... that's why I was so happy to see that you weren't one of those people in denial.. SAYING that you were doing everything you could but not losing. Alot of people are taking Phen and not changing their eating, drinking, exercising habits... and they still want to blame it on the Phen. Sorry.... can't blame everything on the little pill... just like we can't blame video games for all kids being overweight. I know there were many days that I didn't get to 1000 calories.... but if you read my journal very far you'll see that I was trying to get more calories.... not less. I was exercising more then than I ever had.... I had more motivation then than I ever had.... I ate very small portions and didn't want to eat huge...

I asked my Dr about the HCG shot and he explained to me that there is a growth hormone in it that has a potiential to make small tumors grow....he said after he went to a seminar on it he would never inject anyone with it. What if someone had a small brain tumor and the injection killed them? Thought you guys thinking of having it might want to know this.
