birth control before the sleeve?

I am a newleywed and waiting on my consult with the surgeon. I went to the obgyn and I got refferred to a womens specialist and they recommended the implanon. I have been pre-approved for the sleeve.and I don't want to get something that will inhibit me from loosing the weight that I need to. I don't want to have surprise pregnancy and put my opperation on the back burner. What do you ladies use for contraceptive?

    I have Mirena in, but we just had our second baby... because like your concerns, I did get pregnant last year before my surgery and it had to be postponed for a year!! So far no concerns, or complications.
