Question : Before a bad knee, surgery, two shoulder surgeries, and SI joint pain, I used HCH and lost 23 pounds in about 12 weeks. Immediately I began the 10 years of pain, unable to be active, etc. I kept off the weight felt good, wore my more attractive clothes; then climbed back up to within 8 pounds of my original weight.

Any experience with the hormone for weight loss?

It is not recommended for a healthy weight loss. The best way to lose weight is to decrease the calorie intake and modify your diet after consulting a dietitian.
