irishmom- I have the copper T IUD. My body pre-op never responded well to the hormones in the pill so I went for this one that is non hormonal. Before surgery my cycle was exactly 29 days and perfect. (I have had my IUD for about 4.5 years). I had surgery and it threw me out of wack into an 6-8 week cycle (and a lovely panick that I might be pregnant right after WLS). Now that my protein is under control, my blood work numbers are all coming back normal and I'm further out I"m getting back to my nice 4 week cycle. If you've had kids (judging from your name I'd say you have) and you are going to have WLS I honestly would look into an IUD if you're not 100% sure you're done having children or against you or your husband getting "fixed". The IUD is like 99.97% effective and it's honestly wonderful. Talk to your gyn to figure out which one, the mirena or copper t would be best for you, but honestly since you're looking at a minimum of 2 years before you would want to have another child it really is a good option.
