Birth control after surgery

Sooooo, I learnt in orientation today about malnutrition and absorbs issues for ALL meds!
Ok, I'm almost 400lbs and already extremely fertile. ( yeah, not normal )
Is an IUB my best choice?
What is everyone else choice?

Are you planning to have children in the future? That will be the biggest factor in deciding.
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.
