Hi Girls,
I am due to have rhino with Dr G in Jan and went I went for my consultation with him I saw a PC after who told me that they prefer for you to stop taking the pill or in my case have my implant taken out but she did say that I could leave it in if i had too, anyone else stayed on the pill during surgery or does anyone have an implant and didnt take it out? I will ask at my pre op too but i so dont want to take it out and then have it put back in again. I still have about a year and 6 months left before it needs to be replaced. Thanks for your help xxx
I was wondering this too. I have implant and hoping to go in for late space next month. Does anyone know how soon before surgery u have to have it removed xx
I was taking the pill have done for years and luckily i stopped takin few wks ago and then read on here when discussing smoking that they suggest u stop pill too min two wks prior n my surgery is two n half wks away luckily for me as i wasnt told to stop as not had pre op yet i just got told on the forum…x
I dno much about it only from what i was told on here but as i say luckily i had choosen to stop taking it anyway as had had enough ov it after years so just check with nurse etc babe x
Soz chanel whats that about smoking?? Are u adviced to stop smoking before surgery?? :/ xxx
Do you no what the reason for that is..just out of curiosity really..I smoke but can take itnor leave it…LUCKILY and im not keen on having implant out..I got 2 kids I don’t need any more lol xxx
I dont know about the smoking but they say stop smoking, drinking and the pill 2 weeks before surg. The pill\implant is because it increases your risk of dvt while you are under. I dont really want to take my implant out either. Drama hey girls! xxx
The reason for smokin is the healing process from wot ive been told..the scars etc heal better as a non smoker and the surgeons just suggest no smoking or drinkin two three wks b4 n after i havent a clue why they tell u to stop the pill x
Yeah so much ins n outs init…well all end up wit nice boobs n pregnant n stressed coz we cnt smoke…gota be done tho I spose…just av to be careful with the contraception side init xxx
Its not a easy process isit..wen I firs decided im doing it I didnt expect all this lol..I do t care il do it but it is alot 🙂 xxx
i had a uplift last year and my surgeon said it was fine to keep taking the pill, i think it depends on the surgeon. the risks of the pill causing complications are very very low. i don’t know about the implant tho but would like to coz i’ll be getting it soon and getting another op x
I have the implant and am 3 weeks po for BA. I didn’t have to remove mine and everything has been ok, no probs.
Jodie i really dont no anything about the contraceptive side but yea i think it worth checkin out if really necessary as i had decided to have a break from pill nyway so it really hasnt effected me xx
I have just had my surgery and have the marina coil fitted I know it’s different to pill and implant but I never got asked to have it removed I just told them I had it x
