I understand your concern. I also have the implanon. My ob/gym doc explained that hormones are directly linked to your fat cells, so with weight loss it is much easier to get pregnant. I was told that implanon works better than the pill because it doesn't have to be absorbed thru your stomach. My doc also advised me to be very careful and consider a backup method for the first 2 years postoperative.

I use the Body Fortress whey protein powder. You can get a large can of it for about 14 bucks at Walmart. The chocolate tastes great. I haven't tried the other flavors.

It's great to find someone close by! I go tomorrow to meet with the surgeon and pre op testing. I will keep you posted.

I am in Raleigh, NC. My surgery date is July 26!
