Birth Control Pills

[smmrsue 56]

Some doctors take you off of BC because of the risks associated with them. Blood clots, heart attack, etc. Since we are at increased risk of blood clots post surgery anyway mine doesn't want to add to the risk.

I love my birth control because it keeps everything regular' date=' and am definitely not ready for kids at this point. Need to make sure I'm on something that is going to work!!!

My gynecologist is in surgery today, but I should receive a call back from her telling me if she has heard it is not affective after WLS. If it isn't, I will need something else.[/quote']

I'm with you sister!!!

Okay, official word from my gynecologist is YES, WLS, including Lapband, can cause the body to not absorb the hormones properly. Some people may continue to absorb fine, but it varies person to person.

My gynecologist said the options for people with WLS are: Nuva Ring, IUD Morina, Fibre IUD (?spelling?), and Paragaurd.

I am going to try the Nuva ring, and then if I don't like it, I will go for the Morina.

I am so glad I saw this post the other day!!!

I spoke to my doctor today and he informed me that there is now a chewable bc pill as well............so we may have more options ladies!!!! Once I get the name of it Ill pass it on.

Please do! Thanks

[ready for my journey to be 14]

i had to give myself injections cause i did not want to stop my bc pills it was a blood thinner due to the risk of blood clots....

www.femconfe.com is the chewable birth control pill. I will also discuss this with my GYN on the 3rd. I would prefer this instead of an IUD because again my tubes are tied, but I need help with excessive bleeding. Thanks again for all the responses.

[Guest imperfect1974]

I was told by my surgeon/coordinator that i need to be off of contraceptives for 12 weeks! I want to do everything by the books, but is that necessary? I got the depo shot every 3 months before surgery and plan on returning to that asap, i am just wondering how soon i can get a shot. If my gyne says it is ok to get before the 12 weeks should i proceed?

Your surgeon is against just oral contraceptives? Depo Provera shots, like BCPills increase your risk for blood clots. I'm just wondering if your doc wants you to use a barrier method.
