HI!
I don't know a lot about HCG for weight loss.  I don't see how it would work, unless it makes you nauseated as with pregnancy.  There is a lot of hype about it on the net.  Gastric bypass really does work well, and I have taken care of several women who conceived naturally after surgery--their periods spontaneously resumed after weight loss.
Its definitely something to consider!
Good luck!
