Birth control after surgery
Ok, I'm almost 400lbs and already extremely fertile. ( yeah, not normal )
Is an IUB my best choice?
What is everyone else choice?

I decided to come off the pill and use barrier methods (ie. condoms). There is a chance that iuds can cause damage to uterine walls, so that was out for me. My GP also advised against other hormonal replacements (ie. the depo shot) because it can potentially cause weight gain (sort of counterintuitive) and may not be as effective as our hormones shift and change with weight loss.
Talk to you medical pros to make sure you're comfortable with your choice.
Seems like me and my gyno will be having a long chat

I'm still on the pill post op and use condoms and I haven't had any issues in the last 2 yrs. However I have decided to get my tubes tied as an added precaution.
