Almost no one gains more than 5 lbs when starting BC pills anymore. That's leftover sentiment from decades ago when BC pills contained like 13 times the hormones they do now. You can find more information about that in the informational packet (those come even with the freebies) or on the internet.
And, you can skip your period when you're on the patch, the same way as if you were on a pill -- just put another patch on, instead of going without for the week without your period.
KEEP IN MIND though that you should talk to your doctor about doing this -- obviously there's the medical issues involved, but also, that's an extra 12 patches (4 boxes of prescription) a year that your doctor DIDN'T write you and sometimes your insurance won't cover.
