Tonight at my seminar we were told they want women on 2 types of birth control...ok. So I tried the merina which made me go insane and depressed ..and gain even more wgt! I gave it a full year and then had it removed this past March. I don't do well with hormones...so any suggestions? I don't want anything implanted in me ever again like the IUD.

I was going to do the patch, but cannot take Tylenol with that product. Sleevers already can't do Ibuprofen, take Tylenol out, nothing would be left!

I hated the mirena as well. I was on the pill which I was actually enjoying. I recently stopped because I had skin removed.

I plan on going back on it soon.

As a teenager I used depo (the shot)

Sleevers can't do Ibuprofen! I was shocked when my surgeon told me. I took Alieve daily. Now it's just Tylenol.

I did Depo for three years. It caused me to stop having my cycle for the entire time, which caused PCOS.

Can't speak to the birth control, I took care of that after my two kids! But check with your dr about ibuprofen, not all of them say never again, depends on your level of acid for one. My dr says no maintenance ibuprofen for anything long term, but I can take it once in a while for a headache or something.

Non-hormonal copper IUD, it's called paraguard. It's like the mirena but there is nothing hormonal about it! Then for your second method just use condoms

Eek! If my surgeon would have insisted on using birth control, I would have had to find a different surgeon! I can manage my own fertility without the use of birth control lol.

I use the Creighton Method of NFP. No birth control required!

You should have no trouble with the patch and it has absolutely zero interaction with Tylenol.

      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.
