Heya Folks!!

I started my journey in Nov 2012 with my sleeve surgery. I started at my highest lifetime weight of 431lbs and weighed in this morning at 313lbs.

I am feeling great! Working out 5x a week and enjoying a lot of activities I haven't been able to do in a very log time.

I take all my Vitamins & supplements, I'm getting my required daily intake of Protein and Water etc and overall, feel like I'm doin pretty well.

I did notice however, that I tend to be somewhat forgetful as of late and not as full of energy as I feel I should be so I started researching Testosterone treatments as a possible solution.

While doing research, I came across some info on HGH that makes me feel like that may be the better choice since it should help with my existing symptoms but will also help with skin elasticity and a few other things I'm currently experiencing.

I have my 6 month follow up with my bariatric surgeon in about 2 weeks and I plan on setting an appointment with my primary care physician after that to see what they have to say about it but I

Figured I would ask here too and see if anyone had any experience.

Any info is greatly appreciated!!!

I don't know anything about HGH, but if you suspect low testosterone please get your level checked if you haven't already.

Congrats on the weight loss! That is really, really awesome!

I found a pretty good article on HGH. My husband uses it and swears by it. I just ordered some for myself earlier today.

Getting HGH or Test, or any other hormone that could be determined to be an anabolic hormone online instead of going through a face to face clinic is illegal, the DEA won't be your friend if you're getting those products shipped to your house, and they're legit products, which in most cases they're not legit, they're placebo products made to make you feel good for a little while until your body stops producing the hormone at a decent level.

If you go through an online clinic, you'll have to have a face to face consultation with a medical doctor before they can legally write your prescription. Go to an experienced endocrinologist and get checked. There are plenty of mens clinics around the US now it's not hard to find one, and it's a lot safer to make sure you're not doing anything that's going to screw up your hormones even more than they are.

Mark! Is right!!! The stuff my husband buys and the product I bought are products that augment natural growth hormone release...I'm sorry for posting misleading information!!!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
