Post op birth control advice!



Recommended Posts

Hey ladies, I am 23 and have one child. My hubby and I want more but my dr will not do surgery until I promise him I will not get pregnant for 2 years and he is making me go on birth control before I have surgery. My question is; what kind of birth control do you recommend after surgery?? I have the dreaded gynecologist appointment Monday and I want to already know what I want before I go in there. I've read that after surgery your body may not absorb the pill completely but I've never had any experience with the shot?!?!? I need suggestions please!

Nuva ring is an option. You insert it vaginally once a month. You can't feel it and neither can your husband.

Agreed, <3 my nuvaring! I don't trust pills post RNY, WAY too many about to be new mommas around here!!! The shot can cause significant ant weight gain. I had a Mirena and didn't like the hormonal side effects.

I LOVE my Mirena IUD. I've had it for two years and the only side effect I've had is no period, can't complain about that!

I had the Mirena installed. After much consideration it has the least amount of side effects and the reversal rate is 100%. My doc said no to depo due to weight gain. I hate pills. Always had trouble with them. I've had not one problem with my mirena. Sucked going in and cramps for the first 24 hrs but since then; no issues! Best of luck!

I am on Nexplanon. It is the birth control implant that goes into your upper arm area. Very simple procedure and will last for 3 years but can come out at anytime. I recommend it to anyone that asks.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
