A member asked:

Is it possible for depo-provera shot to make you bloated and feel full all the time?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Peter Baumann answered

Not typical: typically Depo-Provera does not make you feel full but it does stimulate the appetite - hence the weight gain that many people experience.
