I'm lost as to what kind of birth control I should use post-op? Any suggestions?

I am about 3 months post-op RNY. From what I understand RNYers cannot take birth control pills because they don't work is well. Is this true? I was on Depo about 5 years ago & I had a very bad time with it. I gained about 60lbs. & had headaches & the whole nine yards. So needless to say I will not be on that again. I just recently tried the new Luenell once a month shot. It made me hungry. I didn't go through this surgery to go on something that makes me hungry. So I won't be on that again. I don't know what else to try? I was on a birth control pill pre-op that worked so well for me. Can I go back on it with out worrying that it won't work? I just don't want a suprise in 9 months right now. Any suggestions?
