Hi Rosa,
I have been on Lurpon for 3 years. I started to gain the weight about 3
months after I started on the injections. It continued slowly over a
long period of time. My 3rd year Lupron anniversary was in Feb. past
and I went back to WW at the beginning of April. Like I said earlier, I
just got so discouraged with my weight gain that I gave up and sort of
took a "well there's nothing I can do about it anyway' attitude. That
certainly didn't help. But, here I am, almost 5 months in WW and 5
injections later with the weight coming off. Hang in there!!
