Birth Control



Recommended Posts

As with most females of age Id assume everyone had to get on birth control for the surgery.. i did anyway hehe

anyways i got this new kind called seasonale its 3 months of pills then you know what i feel kinda weary about going back on BC but i know it has to be done!!

But anyways anyone have any experience with this seasonale stuff?

i was kinda bumed to find out my insurance copays made me pay $90 because it was 3 months worth instead of my normal $30 copay =( but other than that it kinda makes me excited to know that with the surgery my chances of concieving are better!! YEY! (we tried 3 years.. one year on clomid) sooo hopefully ill be able to pop a few lil ones out in a couple years!! =P

My doc told me they originally called the lap-band the fertility band because so many women were getting pregnant after getting the band. I guess that is why some docs recommend birth control until a healthy and stable weight can be achieved. This is one of the major reasons I got the band. WARNING: BOYS LOOK AWAY! I haven't had a regular period since high school and even on birth control to regulate them they were not coming but once every few months. Now with just the small amount of weight I have lost I have become regular again, unfortunately too regular, I got cramps back also that I haven't had in years. I am hoping this means a better chance for pregnancy when I am ready for it since there was no way I was going to start my pregnancy at 275 and chance the health of my baby. When I hit goal or at least close to goal I plan on trying for the first time!

Good luck with you loss and trying for a baby!

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.
