Effectiveness of Birth Control Pills after VSG

My Question:

Does VSG cause any problem with the effectiveness of most birth control pills?

I am currently on Seasonique and besides the "no kids for XX number of months rule" I am fairly sure we are out of the baby business.

Thanks!

I have never heard of them being less effective after VSG. I am also on Seasonique and have not had any problems.

I'm hoping that's not another thing I have to deal with because I'm at the end of my rope with new changes for this time period. So that's good news to hear, I have an appt with my GYN in a couple weeks because she is holding my BCP's hostage, we don't agree on pap smears. I've had 10 years worth of normal pap smears in her office, why can't I skip one or two? I feel it's more about covering her butt than what is actually needed 2 weeks post op from VSG. sorry for the complaint
