Re: What kind of birth control CAN you use?

[Guest guest]

I see another " daily topic " list forming here...but before I digress

I must say that that is a VERY good question. I know that you are

NOT supposed to get pregnant after MGB but some have and sucessful

outcomes I might add. There is the risk of nutritional deficiency etc.

I would see why the shot is ruled out > I dont see why you can't take

the pill(BCP)

Also there is foam and condoms 95%+ effective when used together.

More permanently ......tubal ligation.

Of course I will digress now...

Abstinence is 100% effective.......but its not a choice some of us or

our partners could live with...lol

My husband says " some woman use their personalities for birth

control " again this might make others in your life unhappy....lol

Any other ideas folks?

Pill doesn't work because it it's effectiveness is decreased because of

malabsorption. Also, the MGB throws your hormones off. That is also the same

reason for not using the depot shot. Anything hormonally based will fail. Dr

R post about this. Does any still have that post?

You can get pregnant after the MGB, but are advised to wait a minimum of one

year because the malabsorption of nutrients is potentially dangerous for the

fetus. So, he we are advised to wait until the period of rapid weight loss is

over. I had this surgery SPECIFICALLY to have a baby. I have no fertility

problems, but I rupture prematurely every time.

Hi ,

Just a clarification...we are not supposed to get pregnant for 1 year after

surgery. After that it's okay.

Dr. R. says the problem with the pill is malabsorption.

RE: What kind of birth control CAN you use?

Well, there's always aspirin (or tylenol). Put one between your

knees. Sorry. Had to do it.

Doggone it. Did we forget to mention that we are advocates of sexual

abstinence. We're sorry. We should have mentioned that. LOL
