I am scheduled for surgery Nov 4th. TT, lipo, BL with implant replacement. I have PCOS and take birth control to help. When I have gotten off birth control previously, my weight has gone crazy.... gained 18 lbs in 6 weeks first time and 22 lbs in 5 weeks the second time. So I would really rather not get off of it unless it is absolutely necessary. I asked the nurse at PS office and was told that it is okay not to get off of it but they have to educate me of the increased risk for clots.
