Anna, Oh no, I am so sorry. I thought maybe this just happened to me. I was treated for endo for years but after my surgery when I started the most of intense part of treatment. (the provera, lupron, and higher doses of bcp) I gained 14#. I am tiny so that is a lot of weight for me. That was about a year ago. I tried to exercise and diet and could not get rid of it. Now I didn't try it as faithfully as I should have but you would think I would have seen some weight loss results. Anyway about 3 months ago I quit all of the treatments and have started to see some definite weight loss. (about 7# so far) I just bought some clothes to get me by until I lost all the weight and soon I think I will be back into the old clothes. So my very long answer to your question is yes I think there is hope to lose the weight. You may want to try exercising now to lose some of it but don't get too discouraged if you can't lose it all while you are still on treatment. Hope that helps and I hope you find some relief! Hugs - Sarah
