Oral Contraceptives - B.C. Pills

I read that B.C. Pills don't work as well after being sleeved. This seems odd to me because there are not supposed to be any absorption issues BUT... this is one fire I don't want to play with. What have your surgeons told you? Should I be concerned?

Hey Tiff! I recently stopped smoking (a little over 4 months ago). I can honestly say that I could not have done it without chantix. It's like some miracle drug. I did not experience any crazy side effects. I had vivid dreams that I could remember and that's about it. It did not take away my desire to smoke, it took away my NEED to smoke. It was the best decision I have ever made. I weighed all of the potential negative side effects and decided for myself that they did not outweigh all of the negatives that come with smoking. I was on chantix for about 4 weeks, and I stopped smoking at around 2.5 weeks. I'm not saying it's for everyone, but it may be worth the try. But only when you are ready and willing. Good luck!
