I am 4 1/2 weeks post op, I take a birth control pill everyday...I haven't missed one since my surgery. Am I protected from pregnancy? Is there something in the medicine they give us at the hospital that could cancel out my birth control?

Thank You,

Thank You Melliecat at least some of you are taking me serious. I am asking a very improtant question and most people are just making fun.

I'm 7 months post op, can I have a 3 some with Scandinavian twin sisters? If yes, can you fine them for me?

Sorry, bad day at work, had to act out and this seemed like a good target. I'm back to normal now. Thanks.

Absolutely I will get on that

i like roulette - but only in vegas........

I am more of a crabs.. I mean craps person!

Hey this is a really serious situation! Don't ever feel like you have to apologize when looking for real sound advice.

You should really re-think the Scandanavian. I really think you would be better off with some Bangkok Betties myself. I mean, you never know what those Scandanavian chicks might have.

Please make sure you really think about betting on black. It's the safer option, for real.

LilMiss you're absolutely right! I didn't think of it that way. Seriously bangkok betty is the better bet and at only $5 a piece it's a steal!

Oh I took you serious for sure if you didn't see in my post. Protection isn't just to keep you from getting pregnant you should seriously look at the std statistics. You're putting yourself in harms way for life... for someone you have dated for 3 years.

I think the fun we are having is because this is a question that should be asked of the doctor, as the nurse pointed out I believe.

agreed.

if your wise enough to tackle your weight issue - you should be practical in understanding the precautions of becoming a parent when your not ready - few wks post op is not optimal.

most dr's (at least mine) totally suggest multiple forms of birth control for up to a yr post op or until at goal.

take pregnancy & std's out of the picture - do you want to get pregnant a month out from surgery when it is your prime weightloss period?

Really? Now we give sex advice in the lap band forums! Crazy!:bored:

let's see....her thread name "Can I have unprotected sex?"

Her question: "Can I have unprotected sex?"

Did you think she was asking about chicken? Mushies?

Why did you open the thread...just to be snarky?

I really like this forum. I've found some great info and learned some new stuff - about LapBands. However, I don't think I would leave a "LIFE" (as in new, baby life) and death question to people I've never met. Why pay insurance premiums if you can't ask your healthcare provider questions such as these? And I agree with the poster who mentioned that she questioned why you would even take a chance on getting pregnant so soon after being banded. The people on here are great, but to rely on them for this kind of advice....hmm...don't think I'd stake my future on it. (Though I do appreciate when the RNs on the thread make their suggestions. They have good medical knowledge but still advise us to ask our own doctors :bored:)

Happy Banding,

TPG

What's your excuse Monkey? You don't own these forums last time I checked. Others are entitled to opinions and comments without your input. If you don't like it don't read.

I think silly questions deserve silly answers.

LU's right I have heard of alot of ways to sabatoge the weight loss but this would be a big one.

You're only safe if you have sex on the third Thursday of the month that the moon is in the house of Aquarius and it's after 8:00pm but not before 8:15pm. Make sure you do it in the Kama Sutra position number 18 and FOR SURE remember to douche with a bottle of cola, preferably Pepsi. Just remove the cap, place a finger over the opening, shake, and insert. The soda does the rest.

You're on your own for the rest, sorry.

Thanks Beth from VA and Brandy for making light of the rediculousness of this topic. LOL!

Sorry Beth, gotta disagree with you on this one. Bandsters aren't supposed to consume fizzy beverages.

:-(

Seriously h.i.l.l.a.r.i.o.u.s. I freaking rolled :bored:

You open the bottle let it sit for an hour then stand on your head for the procedure?

Wrong end. DOUCHE with it. Kinda tickles, but only for a minute.

For those who only have Diet Coke instead of Pepsi, there may be a hitch in your giddyup, but don't despair. Check to see if you have a chicken and a weedeater. There's this whole nuther process.

Oh I was on that same wave length.

Great. I chopped up the chicken last week with weedeater. Only have soda in cans....I just can't win this week. :bored:
