Anyone had trouble with weight gain and the implant?

I don't have a study or anything, only an anecdote, but one of my friends experienced about 50lbs of weight gain after getting the arm implant.

She thought she loved it because she wasn't getting her period anymore, but after about a year she realized it had probably caused the weight gain and had really worsened her depression.

She said she mentally felt so much better within a couple days of having it removed.

My two cents? Copper IUDs are probably the best long term birth control. You get peace of mind because it's so effective, it lasts up to 12 years, and it doesn't have hormones so you won't get any mental health or weight gain side effects.
