BIRTH CONTROL POST!

[Moogle 116]

Yes. My surgeon wanted me to pull my implant. I talked to my gyno who basically said absolutely not. She said there was a slightly elevated risk with the implant but not nearly as much as the pill. My gyno even had a hematologist call my surgeon to tell her the implant was okay. I was very happy with that because I wasn't convinced my insurance would cover two implants within 6 months.

I'm happy you researched everything.

I was sleeved on 8 22 16 & my doctor told me I had to come off of the pill for at least 2 months. I would talk to your doctor who is doing your surgery before you do the birth control thing to be safe.

I asked this question in a support group last week. They said they used to require woman to stop by pills pre-op but don't any longer. That better be true because I am hoping to get a surgery date with in a week or two following my pre-op appt with the surgeon and if he tells me I need to be off the pill for a month or two I will lose my shit!

[SoExcited101 190]

Yes I did. When I go to my October follow up I will ask about it then.

My surgeon did not require me to stop my birth control pills. I did take a 2 week course of blood thinning shots right after so maybe that's why?

I'm on a 90 day pill pack and I just had my surgery on 8/3. Husband and I are using condoms just in case of absorption issues and increased fertility just this first round of pills since I won't know if I have a missed period for another 60 days.

Good to hear this! My final appt with my doctor is Thursday to do my lab work, physical & EKG. Will be adding this question to my list...Thanks

I think we are going to continue natural family planning but add in condoms ... I wanted to do the depo but I am seriously concerned about it hindering my weight-loss

Hope Your Day is Great,

Had my pre-op appt today and was prescribed the pill. I'll be adding it to my diet after I get my next period, which will be a well or two after my sleeve on 9/14.

Wow, that is neat to hear they can do it so fast under a local these days. I had my tubal ligation immediately following the birth of my 2nd child. I was only 19, married with 2 kids and was married to a horses a$$. I knew there was no way I wanted more children with him so I asked my ob/gyn to perform the surgery.

It was a actual knock you out surgery and one night in the hospital back then. They added it right on to my 3 day stay from having a baby. Boy have things changed.

I will say....my doc should never have agreed to do it at 19 and years later when I met and married my now husband (been married to him for 29 years), I had wished they were not tied. However, I got over it quickly and am thankful for my two beautiful boys and their now 12 year old daughters.......being a grandparent is the best!

Im suprised they did it that young. I had a 26yr old coworker who was allergic to latex and for some reason i cant remember now couldnt use bc. The drs and ins would not tie her tubes ubtil she was 30, even though she had a 10yr ols and a 3yr old. She basically used abortions as her birth control.

I know, it was 34 years ago now but I am guessing things were different back then.
