I have the Nuva ring. I've been on it or years and love it. With that said, I would be careful with birth control after surgery. I've seen lots of posts about ladies getting pregnant (not intending to) because we become more fertile with weight loss, so just be careful! Good luck!

I loved Depo....but I wouldn't recommend it if you want more children in the future...it just takes a little while to get regular again..

Yea my doctor warned me about how fertile I would become and eventually I do want kids but I also want to wait until I'm in the safe zone.

I have the implanon in my arm.....it is good for 3 years. I didn't have a period for 1year up until I had surgery and I bled for 6 weeks after. .....I suppose it was from all the hormonal changes. I am period free once again and love my implanon!

Implanon is what my daughter had put in her arm. No complaints, no issues.

      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.
