The jury is out on whether the pill affects weight gain/loss -- there are just too many varieties of pills, dosages, and ways that it could interact with your body/metabolism.
Some docs suggest that the amount of estrogen in your pill could play a factor in weight - the lowest dosage available right now is I believe 10 mcg of estradiol. I'm not an MD, though, so it's definitely something to ask your doc about.
My OBGYN told me that obese/overweight women are often put on a higher dose of estradiol because of their weight. I'm on a fairly high dosage of estradiol myself now, and hope to get it lowered when I go for a checkup at the end of this month.
