I'M 26 & HAVE 2 BOYS & GOT MY TUBES TIED AFTER THE 2ND ONE. IT WAS 1 1/2 AGO. I'VE NEVER HAD A PROBLEM WITH KEEPING WEIGHT OFF UNTIL NOW. MY NORMAL WAS 125 OR SO AND LATELY (IN THE PAST FEW MONTHS) I'VE GOTTEN UP TO 135 LBS. A FRIEND SUGGESTED THAT IT'S BECAUSE I GOT A TUBAL. I GOOGLED IT AND I GOT SOME ANSWERS YES & SOME NO. I ALMOST CRIED WHEN I 1ST READ SOME WOMEN GAINED 60 LBS AFTER THEIR TUBAL! ( I KNOW, A LITTLE DRAMATIC) I'M WONDERING THAT IF PEOPLE ARE HAVING TROUBLE WITH THEIR WEIGHT AFTER A TUBAL B/C THEY'RE GETTING OLDER AND THEY'VE HAD A FEW KIDS, NOT B/C OF THE TUBAL AT ALL. FROM WHAT I HEAR THE OLDER YOU GET THE HARDER IT IS TO KEEP WEIGHT OFF, AND THE MORE KIDS YOU HAVE THE HARDER IT IS AS WELL. MY DR'S DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING ABOUT WEIGHT PROBLEMS WHEN WE DISCUSSED ALL THE PROS & CONS . I'M TRYING TO DO PILATES & USE MY TREADMILL DAILY AND IT SEEMS TO BE HELPING I THINK. I'M NOT THE HEALTHIEST EATER IN THE WORLD EITHER. LOL

I had a tubal after my second child (he is almost 4 years old) and I haven't noticed a problem with weight (I am now 28). I would try to eat healthier and work out and if you are still gaining weight, I would talk with my doctor. Good luck!!!

I agree with Jamie. They did not do anything physically to you that could cause you to gain weight or make it harder to lose it. I had a c section with my third child & had a tubal done at the same time. I actually lost weight quicker that time then after my first two children.

I dont think its from the tubal. You arent changing anything other then an egg not getting to your uterus. Chemically I believe your body is the same. Now I knwo my mom was a twig until she had a hysteictomy, where they removed all her female parts and she gained a huge amount of weight and cant seem to get it off. Although my mom tries those pills ans such and never exercises. So I think a lot of it has to do with people acutally working out and eatting right.
