So sorry this happened to you..... I have had implanon since Oct 2011 and LOVE it!!!! Rny 11-26-12.......I bled on and off for 6 weeks after surgery due to hormones but no period at all now.... and no period the whole year before surgery!!! It is awesome!!!

I have been on depo for two years. My lady doctor said that there shouldnt be any issues after surgery. There was some weight gain, but this was also when I wasnt conserned and was eating everything but the kitchen sink. But I love the depo. Its conveniant, not a daily thing and I hated the idea of inplant

Why can't we just take birth control pill? I was on ortho tricyclen lo before gastric bypass. Had to stop a month before surgery by surgeon said I could start it up again after my next period after surgery.

As always check with your surgeon. I tried to research and some docs are worried about malabsorption and the increased rish of blood clots.

One sight said depro may cause osteoarthritis.

The iud seems the most favorite.

I posted this somewhere else but gotta tell ya, my mirena destroyed my orgasms....loved the no period thing but my orgasm intensity went from delightful to meh, not worth the effort....they were super easy to have but just blah....gyn thought I was nuts but within days of having it removed I was back to the good old days!

i’ve always been able to check the strings - if your nervous you can always go see your OB -

My Dr was from the military and shared that of the hundreds he put in - only ONE was expelled. I feel pretty good about those #’s

I was never able to feel my strings either, also I've always had a tipped uterus and I did have them check 3 times. They claimed I was just fine and not to worry. Now that I've switched OB docs come to find out at least 8 different women in my area have had similar issues. It really sucks I hate medical care out here. It's so bad I'm considering moving my whole family,back to the city but my 4 kids love their school...
