Personally, I hated the Nuvaring. My boyfriend was turned off by it so we didn't have as much foreplay when that stupid thing was in. Also, having a big, hard pushing BM, made me wonder if it was getting pushed out. Constantly having to check to make sure it was still there was gross.
I loved Depo and I currently love my Mirena.

My dr also switched me to the NuvaRing. I don't like it much but I just deal with it because I would definitely flip the f out if I got pregnant. My husband hasn't complained about it so I don't think it bothers him. It has never come out completely but it does move down some closer to the opening of my vagina if I cough a bunch.
I'm a Depo girl now. . .LOVE not having periods anymore and no cramping, etc. . .Just like BCPs only better (for me, at least). Plus, I don't have to worry about absorption issues and only have to think about it every 3 months!

No, I haven't seen anything that would make me attribute any "stalls" that I have had to the Depo. I have hit the "normal" stalls that you will see people talk about post RNY.
The only weight gain I have had post surgery is because of an ongoing issue I have with swelling in my legs that is NOT related to the Depo; I have had this since prior to my surgery and prior to the Depo. That is the only reason that I ever go up a few pounds, and that averages 1-5 lbs depending on how bad the swelling is.
I didn't like the NuvaRing either. I was on that before the Depo. If I ever decide to stop the Depo, I will most likely either get a tubal ligation or an IUD.
I don't trust BCPs after having had RNY.
