Hello everyone. I did have the implant for the first time when I was 15, not much changed and it was ok for me. I then had it replaced when I was 18, then replaced again now I am 22. This time round I feel extremely bloated and my belly looks so big I can't even breathe it in and my anxiety and mood are though the roof but I can tolerate it apart from the bloating, it's driving me insane, I don't drink fizzy drinks and I don't eat crap anymore. I don't think I've gained weight because of the implant, I used to eat very unhealthily so that is my fault but I've been dieting and exercising for months now I've been so strict on myself and I just stay the same weight, nothing has changed. I was wondering if anyone has lost weight whilst having the implant? Or if this effects any changes.

Have you done a pregnancy test just to rule that out? I was told by my doc that the implant increases appetite which is why women gain weight

This literally happened to me. I'd had the implant for years and it was perfect. I even recommended it to friends. Then when it ran out I had it replaced. It was completely different. My moods were terrible, I had weight gain, and I lost all interest in sex. I had it taken back out and I felt like myself again.

I have had the implant for a few years now.

Yes, I have lost weight while on it. My BMI is around 19 and I have a flat stomach. I has taken effort though.

This is not a weight loss topic. This is a section for those of us who lift weights in the gym.

Of course, you could try a properly supervised plan for learning to lift heavy weights - it's fantastic for building muscle strength and streamlining your body. With discipline, you might also control your eating and lose weight, or at least turn your fat into functional muscle.
