weight gain and tubal ligation!

It is hormonal! There is hope to lose the weight! I haven't had my tubes tied, but I have experienced issues after I had my son and they removed one of my ovaries and a Fallopian tube. My doctor told me that there were no side effects to this. I could still have babies and should have no issues. Well, he was totally incorrect. My son is 10 and I still haven't got pregnant and I put on 50 pounds without breaking stride. I couldn't understand and I started to do research and found many women with this issue, the same for women who have had their tubes tied. I went to the doctor after this and he told me to eat right and that I was getting older (I was 23 by the way) and I can no longer eat the way I used to or I was going to gain more weight. By this time I was pretty well starving myself and wanted too smack this guy... So, I took another path. I went to a natural Doctor. I know what u r thinking, but I have lost 50 lbs and have never felt better and he is working on Getting me pregnant as we speak. 

Solution to this problem is getting your hormones back in line! when I went to the natural doctor he scanned me and my pituitary, thyroid, and adrenal glands were all not functioning normally. My adrenal gland was pumping a toxic amount of adrenalin in my body. My thyroid gland was barely functioning (this is your gland that controls your metabolism) and my pituitary gland was completely out! Your pituitary gland is what regulates your progesterone and estrogen and for a added bonus your thyroid and adrenal also effects both female hormones as well. My natural doctor gave me supplements and now I feel awesome and weight started flying off me. I do eat right and eat no "diet" food. Diet food is a big no no for long term weight loss. You need to eat all of the food groups a day! no fat free or low fat and no low sugar foods! These types of foods are loaded in chemicals that actually causes weight gain. Like Aspartame, it is in low sugar foods and it causes weight gain, specifically in the belly. Artificial sugars do the dame thing, like Splenda and all the other artificial foods. If anyone needs any help with this, I have tons of information. Just let me know!

Wondering what supplements your doc put you on? Have the same problem.:(

I have had the same problem 4 living kids & 4 losses never weighed over 103 now I'm 123 & all in my belly my husband refused to get fixed & I think it was very selfish after all I had gone through with the losses total of 8 children now I feel fat & more miserable

I have a friend. She has done her tubal in 2010 and she is suffering from same thing.

I had my tubes tied in Feb 2013 and I've gained 20 lbs. I've only bn this heavy when I was pregnant; and I could assure you I am not pregnant this time. I also have high blood pressure & my menstrual periods and heavier & longer. compared to only having then for 2 days & light.

I gained 25 lbs in 6 months. I went from a size 5 to a size 11. I don't recommend it.

You can get them reversed. But you have to complain of a lot of pain and casually mention weight gain. but insist on the terrible pain & then maybe the insurance will pay for it.

Please give me any more information I have gained 205 pounds in the last 6 1/2 months and went up 2 pants size. I am even thinking about getting my tube untied.

I gained weight after my ligation

Hello, what supplements did your naturopathic doctor put you on? Im experiencing the same symptoms. Thankyou!

I have gained weight since my tubal to... Like 30 lbs.. I've always maintained my weight around 130 to 145. I lost weight after my csection then gained it all back plus some.. My eating habits didn't change I'm not less active.. So iit's the only thing I can think causing this sudden onset of weight gain.

Look up PTLS this is what most of us have

YOU ARE RIGHT I HAVE A 27 YEAR OLDSON SAME HEALTH ISSUES I UNDERSTAND I DID A TUBAL AND IN 1997 AND I FEEL IT MESS ME UP I LOSS WEIGHT GAIN AND SAID HAVE TO DO SURGERY ON MY BACK SOON NOT GOOD DOCTORS NEEDS TELL THE TRUE STOP GREASE PURSES.

I had a tubal ligation two months ago.  Before the surgery, I had consistently been 115 pounds for years.  After the procedure, I am now at 133 and like so many others, cannot lose it no matter what I do.  It is so very uncomfortable and none of my clothes fit.  It is so depressing.  I have a lot of chronic pain issues and the additional weight only makes it that much worse.  I so wish I would have known this before I had it done!

I would love some information about what supplements you are taking and the brand and any other info you think would be helpful. i would really appreciate it.
