When are you due? Found out I'm pregnant with twins as well, just over 11 weeks now. I went ahead and had a full unfill. I lost about 5 lbs before I had the unfill and have gained that back plus another 5 since. Still can't stand meat or anything healthy, it's mostly carbs and sugar that I'm craving which I know is what makes me gain.

Funny you should ask, I didnt have much restriction until getting pregnant, now between the band and morning sickless I can't keep anything down. Started taking the Omni IV liquid vitamin supplement and a separate chewable B6 and folate. Have an appt next week to get an unfill so that I can eat again. At the moment I'm even having problems with liquids.

But what's great is that people are posting saying how dangerous it is and that we shouldnt take the easy way out, when they have no idea what they are talking about. I know you'll do great Kim and I believe that this is a good choice for you. I went to a clinic my first round and paid $800, then found Omni Drops, which seem to be just as effective for a lot less money. Even became a distributor so that I could save some money on their other products. There's also a great Omni support group that you might check out, so much more encouraging when you can see what others are doing instead of people trying to put you down because they chose a different path. https://www.facebook.com/groups/omni4u2/ and this is my site with my before and after pics, along with several others - https://www.facebook.com/pages/Omni-4-U/226312417450536

I'm so sorry to hear that. I had what they called a chemical pregnancy in December, had a positive, started bleeding and then a negative test but I got pregnant again and am guessing that I'm around 8 weeks. Have restriction for the first time and I dont like it, everything is getting stuck and I feel like I'm bulimic. Hoping I can get into the military hospital here for an unfill.

I asked and it was very negative, but again he's in the business of making money, and recommending HCG wouldn't make good business sense for him. There's so many people that have avoided WLS by using HCG.

Yes, that's exactly what we need, more government regulation. Somehow HCG is approved and legal to take it doses of 5000 a day if you are trying to get pregnant but not in 125-150 a day to try and lose weight? and we have FDA approved drugs with millions of side effects. There's no proof that it works except for the millions of people that have used it, lost weight and kept it off. There's also years of research by a Dr that used it to help obese patients, but like with everything there's also companies out there that are just trying to make a buck and are selling fake stuff. Yes, it comes from the urine of pregnant women but it's also sterilized in a lab. If you do maintenance correctly and dont just go back to eating the crap that got you fat, you dont gain the weight back. Again, it's your choice how you want to lose weight, but dont force your opinions of something you dont' know anything about on someone else. This is what I've used and that I know that it works.

It's funny that most of the negative reviews are posted by those that have either never tried it or profit by saying that it doesnt work. I've did low calorie diets before, and I was starving and had no energy. With HCG I have lots of energy and am not hungry. Just wish I had the motivation before I had surgery. =)

I have to admit that I've used HCG instead of the lap band to lose most of my weight. It wasn't worth it to me to get to restriction and not be able to get real food without getting stuck. I did 3-25 day rounds of HCG and lost 65 lbs. I recently got pregnant after trying for the past 3 years and have restriction for the first time since getting the band and I dont like it. I can't eat anything without it getting stuck. Have an appt to get fluid removed. With HCG it doesnt affect my metabolism, in fact just the opposite.

I like these and have been taking them for a while - http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000EE8036/ref=wms_ohs_product

looking good

Congratz, sounds like you're doing great. What's plication?

I'm in San Diego. Let me look through my clothes and see what I can find.

I used HCG and the VLC diet several times and it's always worked for me, once after surgery. Since then I've switched to a Paleo/Caveman diet and continued to loose weight, without watching my calories and fat.

Do u need 16/18s or have them to trade? I have some 16W/18/18W

My Dr didnt have any rules after a fill.
