Birth Control after WLS?
What was you your prefered method of birth control following surgery?
Don't get me wrong DH and I want babies, and prior to our surgery approvals had been trying over 5 1/2 years, but now we have to wait another 12-18 months, but avoiding sex is out of the question, as is condoms . . . so any recommendations?

Right...the pill is a no no due to absorption issues. I mean...you can take it but the chances you'll still get pregnant is VERY high. I'd go with the NuvaRing as the OrthoEvra patch sucks...I know...I was on it for about 10 months before we ttc'ed after surgery. Once you do have a baby though I suggest the Mirena IUD...I love love loved mine and will be getting another one here VERY shortly.
