Zoldex and weight gain

[Pearlavery]

Have just been told by gynea he wants me to have zoledex he also wants me to lose weight before surgery ...I keep reading that women gain weight when on this... Has anyone managed to lose weight when taking this treatment

Hi Pearlavery

I am sad to say that I am just going to add to the proof that shows you gain weight. I cut down on portion sizes and upped the exercise as I knew it would happen and then I ended up gaining 2 stone on zoladex and its proving pretty hard to shift but hopefully im getting there.

Sorry, Heather x

Hi There

I had 4 rounds of Zoladex last year prior to my 2nd Lazer Lap.I found them to be an absolute god send and gave me a huge amount of relief all be it for a short while .I did have some break through hot flushes (I had tibolone add back therapy at the same time)but this was nothing compared to what I was suffering before starting the implants. I personally didnt put any weight on but I know everyone is differnt .I really hope you get a bit of relief from the implants all the verybest to you. mableskyx
