It really depends, I used to take the pills but it cause me to gain weight and I was so bad at taking them and then it was actually causing a different medical condition I have to worsen. I’m a year on nex and I hardly have periods, just occasionally spotting and have lost weight. It really depends on what your body needs
I hate to be the bearer of bad news but I went through the literal same exact thing years ago, got it removed at least 4 years ago now, and I still cannot shed the weight unless I try extremely hard. Even then it’s slow and comes right back. I would probably just stick with it because the benefits are worth it and it may be a lost cause :/
