Mirena and Gastric Sleeve

I had Mirena "installed" lol about a month ago and have been craving food intensely ever since. I have been battling with the same 5 pounds for 2 months now and am wondering if this is contributing to my weight loss stalling. I feel like I can eat double of what I could before and I am 8 months post surgery. I am seriously considering having it removed and wondering if there is anyone out there that has had this same issue? What birth control is best for gastric sleeve patients so that we don't stall or lose weight slower than we could? I have heard Yasmin but wanted to get a more recent post going on here to get everyone's opinions.

Thanks Theresa

I was thinking about Mirena as well. I am currently taking Camilla which is only one pill. I didn't want the Mirena because of the hormones and HBP. I don't notice any stalls because I choose to stay away from the scales. But, I am not preggers, lol.
