I originally started and completed all of my pre op requirements at Bellevue Hospital and they require you to see a "family planning" specialist' date=' which means you have to go on birth-control prior to surgery to ensure you do not get pregnant right after lap-band. I was pretty PISSED because I have this stupid pride in the fact that hubby and I have NEVER used any birth control method besides pulling out. I opted for a IUD because it's non-hormonal and I don't have to do anything for it to work. Now I'm kinda HAPPY it's there because after losing nearly 40lbs, I'm the one who usually initiates ;) Hubby doesn't know it's there so we are still pulling out. He doesn't know not because I WANT to keep it a secret, it's because the prankster in me wants to one day have an "accident" and keep him guessing (and worried) for a few weeks. But I REALLY want to tell him already so we don't always have to.... you know.... Pull out.[/quote']

I had an IUD and 2 months later I was pregnant.

My son is 38 1/2 years old. Talk to your husband. Pulling out isn't birth control because sometimes sperm leaks out. Good luck

It's not, it's Russian roulette, but he has perfected the craft for 10 years now; however, now you're scaring me with your 38 year old son. Yikes!! Maybe we should continue to pull out even when I tell him. Thanks for that INFO!

Let's look at the list of BC i had tried. Started after the birth of my first son at the tinder age of 16. First it was the Pill, ortho novum 1/50 (these worked great, but back in the 80ies they got pulled), so then the 1/35 made me either sick or have BTB. Plus i would forget to take them...So we went to the foam.. nasty and messy..., moved on to the diaphragm severe infections... back to the pill.. 7/7/7, not good sick and still would forget to take them... Got Divorced... :D :D So when i has sex.. used condoms. Got remarried... Used the PULL out method... BAM here comes Jason. After Jason, we tried the pill again... nope, so we did the Shot... worst one ever... gained 50lbs in 3 months. Got off that... In went the IUD... That stayed for about two years when i started with severe cramping and bleeding. Went to doc, IUD had either fallin or was placed wrong... it was down into my uterus coming out the cervix Got that removed.....along with a DNC. Started the BEST BIRTH CONTROL EVER.... the nuva Ring. Who ever invented this is a freaking genius.... Stayed with that for years till i had my Hysterectomy.

So if there is a birth control out there i have probably tried it.... hehehe. By far the best was the Nuva Ring. Insert.... leave for 3 weeks, take out... throw away. Week later, put in new one. Now your hubby will fill this, but it is ok to remove during sex. you just have to remember to replace right after you are finished. So you can keep this a secret too if you wanted.

Good luck darling

I went apeshit on the IUD...I already have emotional and anxiety problems and it was so bad I actually took a swing at my husband who is NOTHING but loving and supportive because he stepped into an argument between me and my mother. IUD came out the following week and he went in for a vasectomy instead.

You are kinky, girl. I love it. =)

Geez!!!! Hurry up and tell that guy so he can stay in there a little longer. You wont regret it! At least I think you wont. Unless watching is the best part then you have a difficult decision.

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.
