The nutritionist that we have to see before the procedure. I went on depo and am a walking nut case not to mention other issues... and is renewable at the end of july, after I am hopefully banded. If what you are saying is true, I will go back on my little pills. She said because it doesnt absorb correctly you will get preggo.

With all respect to your nut (LOL) THEY don't prescribe. Docs do. The doctor will know if it's an issue for you or not! (I'm not a doc either but I question all nutritionists! LOL)

I was supposed to stop mine a month before surgery but they actually only gave me 2 weeks notice before surgery so I couldn't. I didn't take mine the night after surgery mainly because I forgot but have been taking them everyday since.

Often docs want you to d/c them because of increased risk for clotting/stroke

Once healed though a person who COULD take them should still be able to.

Their is NO absorbtion isuues! Please don't listen to that! I was told the same thing by a doctor, I found a new doctor ASAP!

Depo is evil! You can go back to your pills!
