When did you go back on birth control?



Recommended Posts

My surgeon (who has a horrible bedside manner but amazing skills) said I had to wait 3 months and that I should not have sex with my husband for those 3 months plus a month additional while I wait for the birth control to kick in. That sounds insane to me.

Sounds insane to me also. My dr had me go off bcp's for a month prior (blood clot reasons I guess) but I went back on them immediately afterwards. We had to use condoms (had sex about 10 days after surgery. Wasn't enjoyable but it wasn't painful either) for the first month while my bcp's kicked back in.

What's his reason for #1 u can start taking the pill and #2 not suggesting a back up method of birth control? 3 months sounds ridiculous...

I have an IUD so I never came off BC. I had sex just under a week post op and lived. :D

I'm telling your husband...

Oh my! Mine had me start birth control two months BEFORE surgery. Also said we could have sex as soon as I felt like it- we made it almost two weeks!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
