I swear ever since I had my surgery 6 weeks ago I her been so absent minded amongst other things!

I accidentally took my BC twice this morning! I took next sundays BC! I bought a pill box so I can easily just take my pills without having to sort it all every morning and without thinking about it after I took my pills I looked at my BC package and saw it said Sunday and I was like oh I didn't take it and then after I took it realized omg yes I did! This is next Sundays!

Anyone have any ideas what I should do???? I have been on the pill for a very long time and this is the first time doing this! Uuuuggg!

Thanks in advance!!!

Very early on I was told that I would need to find a new BC method because the pill will no longer be effective post surgery due to my new stomach it would no longer be as effective. So I changed it to the IUD before I had surgery.

Thanks ladies. I actually have my tubes tied and take the seaonique pill so I can skip my periods. I was just worried taking 2 pills would make me sick and I wasn't sure what to do.

I know my subject isn't Really sleeve related topic. Thanks for the advice!

I don't think two pills will make you sick. I have a habit of forgetting to take mine and my doctor tells me as long as it is within forty-eight hours of the missed one, to just take two. I have never been sick or had any problems. Of course, as with all non-medical advice, your mileage may vary.

Because of problems with my hyperplasia, my doctor was trying to get my period under control after my blood transfusion. She had me take 4 bc pills a day, for 2 weeks straight and I never got sick. You'll be fine!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
