Implanon Removed, Acne, Bloating, Inability To Lose Weight. Taking Seasonique. Suggestions?

After 4 months of experiencing various side effects, I had my Implanon removed (Feb 2013); however I am still experiencing side effects such as acne, bloating, and the inability to lose weight. When will this end?

I returned to my previous birth control, Seasonique, but I did not experience the side effects prior to the Implanon.
