Birth Control

Has anyone used Syntec birth control pill? I am trying to decide which method will be best cause I do not want to gain weight. My doctor's opinion is just whatever I what to use she is ok with it. Any suggestions on pills or other devices that have worked without weight gain would be appreciated.

I am on Nuva ring. I was on it a while prior to my sleeve. It wasn't the cause of weight gain. It is "knock on wood" not causing weight gain post sleeve.

I currently have the Implanon or Nexplanon which is a implantable birth control which is put in place in your arm. It lasts 3 years. With all birth control you will have the risk of gaining weight, it is how your body takes to medicine. With any birth control I go on I gain weight, its genetic my mom does as well when she was on birth control. Best of luck finding one, there are tons out there.
