Does Being On Birth Control {Hormone Based} Affect Your Weight Loss Is Any Way?

[SensationallySassyT 80]

For those who begin or continued to use Hormonal based Birth Control have you noticed a slower weight loss pattern than normal with your Sleeve? I ask because I know from previous experience BC has caused me to feel bloated and pack on a few lbs~ What has your experience been like with Birth Control and being Sleeved???

FYI~ I am looking to get the Mirena IUD tomorrow~

Looking forward to hearing your experiences~

I love my Mirena! I gained alot of weight on birth control pills and can thank them for my four year old surprise baby. =) My Gyno recommended Mirena because of the fewer side effects. Next spring I'll be getting my second one.

I’m posting so I can follow - I had a merina installed 3 yrs ago - LOVE the lesser periods (I still get a VERY light period) but I KNOW I was much lighter before I had it put in. It’s not supposed to cause weight gain.

Here is a bump. I really would like to hear from others that are currently sleeved.

I've been on the depo shot and haven't noticed any difference. Im suppose to get my next shot next Monday and Im gonna ask what she thinks would be my best option. I really like depo cuz of the decreased periods (before surgery i would get one a couple week before my next shot was due. Since surgery i haven't even had any spotting probably cuz of the weight loss).
