The amount of weight gain associated with the birth control pill is very slight... and a lot of doctors think that it's just due to the fact that everyone tends to gain weight and have more trouble keeping it off as they get older. Some women lose weight while on the pill!
Your doctor can give you good advice, but a low-dose pill (another commenter said Ortho tri cyclen lo, which is a good one) generally will have fewer side effects, including weight gain.

I've been on birth control since I was 16. The weight gain is only very slight and is mostly water weight. You can prevent it by drinking plenty of fluids while you're on the pill.
The best advice I have would be to have an open conversation with your doctor. Currently there are several pills out on the market. Most women have good luck with the low dose pills. They have all the benefits with fewer side effects. Don't be afraid to complain if there are side effects. Like I said, there are several products out there and each one is unique in their own way. Sometimes you must try a few before you find the right one for you.

You really won't know until you try one. Different birth control effects different women in a different way. You would just have to talk it over with your doc and try one out and see how it works for you. If you gain weight then change to something different. I have changed quite a few times, once due to weight gain. One pill made my vision worse, one made my stomach hurt and one gave me other issues. If you are a smaller person i would recommend Ortho Tri Cyclen Lo. that is what i take go to the website and check it out.
