I actually had some bad spotting issues the first few months after surgery. (I'm on the 3-month cycle pill.) But it has been 7 months now and I have had no issues in quite a while. I think the surgery messes with it, but it evens out.

Thanks ladies!! means alot, i spoke to my surgeon and he says the pill still works and that it is a important issue to discuss, because with just a 19 pound weightloss our fertility increases hugely, and its important not to get pregant in the year after surgery.
