Do not, I repeat, DO NOT, trust that patch!! I had my RNY Nov. 2013 and found out 10 WEEKS post op that I was pregnant!! I was not informed at all about using a 2nd method to back it up! I used it perfectly, but it failed.

Thankfully baby and I sailed through the pregnancy with ZERO complications. I still lost over 100 pounds despite being pregnant, and my precious little man arrived two weeks before his due date weighing 6lbs 4oz.

My story, I'm sure, is NOT the norm. We were both lucky to do so well. He is almost one now and the love of my life.

So yeah....don't trust the patch! Lol

im avout 4.5 months as well....

I have the patch to try. ... first time I'll be trying it. the pull before surgery used to make .e very moody and irritable and depressed so not sure about rhe patch.

I tried the eine previously for 3 months but it gave me pms type cramps the whole 3 months and it hurt! good option though for those who can use it.
