I have gained weight mostly around my waist, was previously 26" since I was in high school (until I started the Advair.) Now, the only pants/skirts that fit me are the ones that were previously too big for me. I know it's from the Advair, because I have never had a weight problem in my entire life.
Holy Crap!!! I quit smoking July 5th, 2008 because I was having trouble breathing and we have a new grandson and we knew my son would never let us hold him if we were still smoking. I started taking Advair about a month before that but wasn't that faithful about it since I was also using an inhaler. I have been since mid July. I have gained 20 lbs. in the last month!!!!! I can't believe it!!! I did not eat any differently after I stopped smoking. It dawned on me 2 days ago that maybe it was the Advair or Femara I take. I stopped the Advair 2 days ago and still feel bloated and huge around the stomach. I walk 4 miles a day, did weigh 120 until last month, and am wondering how long it takes to get rid of this side effect.
