Hi! First of all I would like to make you aware that the SSS, Sick sinus syndrome is not a minor heart disease!
You have already had gastric bypass surgery, but may still be benefited with bariatric surgery after consultation with the eminent surgeon. Their seems no benefit taking the HCG. What is more beneficial for you is the dietary control & exercise.
