Is it true that you should use two forms of birth con after surgery?  has anyone successfully used the depo shot on its own?

I used Depo-Provera for about 6 years and it worked for me. Now, I am on Mirena because it lasts 5 years and I don't have any plans for babies.

I use my husband's vasectomy.  Works great for me!  ;)

I've heard nothing but negative stuff from friends who have tried depo.  Weight gain, moodiness, etc.  But I've never tried it myself, so maybe there are others here who have used it who have different experiences.

I use Nuva Ring and love it. I used it pre-op and still do, it's a great alternative to the pill and over 99% effective when used properly. We also use condoms though, I don't mess around.

Nuva Ring is a great option, but like the patch, it is only fully effective up to a certain weight, so people with BMIs over 30 should be careful about this!

I had OHIP approved Duodenal Switch surgery with Dr. Dennis Hong at St. Joseph's Hamilton on March 7th, 2012. Want more information on the DS in Ontario? Send me a private message!
