Would taking HGH (human growth hormone) help with healing post-op G surgery??? swelling, scar tissue, faster scar healing, etc.

thx.

I am not an endocrinologist and I do not believe in an individual manipulating their own hormones (except under the close and careful observation and direction of a physician).  I would not recommend HGH for any supposed help in the healing process after surgery -- just too many other side effects.

Best is to closely follow your surgeon's post op directions, eat properly, and limit your physical activities for a minimum of 3-4 weeks.  If you are young and healthy, your healing should go just fine without the aid of HGH.
