HotButterFly 981 Posted October 6, 2013 I originally started and completed all of my pre op requirements at Bellevue Hospital and they require you to see a "family planning" specialist, which means you have to go on birth-control prior to surgery to ensure you do not get pregnant right after lap-band. I was pretty PISSED because I have this stupid pride in the fact that hubby and I have NEVER used any birth control method besides pulling out. I opted for a IUD because it's non-hormonal and I don't have to do anything for it to work. Now I'm kinda HAPPY it's there because after losing nearly 40lbs, I'm the one who usually initiates Hubby doesn't know it's there so we are still pulling out. He doesn't know not because I WANT to keep it a secret, it's because the prankster in me wants to one day have an "accident" and keep him guessing (and worried) for a few weeks. But I REALLY want to tell him already so we don't always have to.... you know.... Pull out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ChicagoRose 650 Posted October 9, 2013 Wow...that's...too funny =) I had an IUD after I had my two kids and it didn't work out well for me at all so listen to your body that's all I'm gonna say! As for pulling out.....tell him about the IUD girl...that's the BIG MOMENT!!! I think it's crazy when people say they do that LOL!!! Luckily my Hubs had the big snip before my surgery so it has been all good. And just like you it's always me ready to rock and roll.....hahaha! 1 KAATNS reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HotButterFly 981 Posted October 9, 2013 Ohhhh, I get it now... He got "poked" by the IUD?! Sheesh! That's just a thin plastic string... How did he feel it??? 1 LapbandLo reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ChicagoRose 650 Posted October 9, 2013 Hahaahaha. I played that trick for a while BUT the fun ended when he got poked � My Hubs knew it was in there the whole time but I had to go in TWICE to get it trimmed because it was poking LOL. Amongst other problems I had as in I went crazy but that's another story.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ChicagoRose 650 Posted October 9, 2013 Ohhhh, I get it now... He got "poked" by the IUD?! Sheesh! That's just a thin plastic string... How did he feel it??? It's actually not like a tampon string, it's more of a wire so it stays strait and doesn't bend up into the cervix.... 1 LapbandLo reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
