Wow, you must live in a city that doesn't have a very good healthcare system. There was a time before I got married that I didn't have insurance at all and I went to a gyn clinic and it ran like any other doctor's office.
Anyway, I don't have any research right in front of me, but was told by my doctor that the super high dose in hormones in the shot can cause weight gain plus it usually increases one's appetite. Which again that may not be a problem for you so newly post-op, I'm not sure. I use to have to pick my shot up at the pharmacy and it came with a little pamphlet that specified it may cause weight gain. If you google the depo provera shot, you get lots of info.
Some people dont get a period at all on depo. Some people spot a lot. I was one of the ones that spotted on and off for 5 of the 6 months I was on the shot. The doc told me it would eventually stop but I was tired of it.
I'm not sure about the pain, only thing I use is tylenol.
