You would just have to decide what's better for you. I'm terrible with remembering to take my pills so the nuva ring was cool. I wore it for three weeks and then removed it one week and then started over.

Lol the nuva ring is a plastic ring that you insert in your vajayjay for three weeks and then you take it out after the third week. You dispose of it. During the week that it is out.......your period should come. Then after that 4th week is over you put a fresh ring back in. They are very handy and Planned Parenthood will alow you to get three at a time....and you have to store the extras in the fridge.

I was on the nuva ring so long my period stopped coming all together until I stopped using the ring it came back after a month or so.

Be careful. Some pills need to be crushed. I got pregnant while on the pill.

I must agree. I'm so confused about what to do after surgery. I have been on the pill for a year now and loved it, but don't want to chance getting prego post op. I tried the Nuva ring in the past, but my girlie parts lay on their back so it wouldn't stay in. So then I tried depo. My goodness did I get horrible acne and mood swings. Next came the Mirena. I was miserable for months and we couldn't figure out why. Finally after my FOURTH ER visit. A nurse practitioner pointed out that I was actually having contractions and my cervix was dilating and trying to push the Mirena out because of how tilted my uterus is. Every hospital I went to refused to take it out because of "liability" reasons. It was a terrible experience. My fiancé ended up pulling it out one day when I couldn't stand up from how bad the contractions were. So now I'm stuck. my next step is to try the Implanon and pray I don't have some kind of freakish reaction to it! Lol

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
