    Unhappy Help with TL and TR PLEASE!!!! :(

    Hi everyone,
    I desperately need help, Im hoping I am posting this in the right place.. If not I apologize.
    Well, please bear with me.. :P
    I have had 5 pregnancies, and 4 c-sections. The Dr talked me into getting a TL due to my kidneys and back probs, risking my life with pregs and all.. It broke my heart as I am very maternal, but I did it, I signed for it. He sat there and told me there may be risks during the procedure (it was being done at the same time as the last c-section, 3 yrs ago)
    Since then I went to being so tired and lethargic and fatigued.. I also suffered with chronic indigestion and heartburn..
    I never took notice too much.. Tried to tell Drs of several symptoms I was having and they told me recently I most likely have IBS..
    Previous to the last c-section I had never ever had problems with my weight or indigestion.
    Basically in the 3 yrs since having my son & the TL I have put on a whopping 40kilos!! I feel so unnatural, like it is not my body! It is hard to breathe, I feel like I am at the end stage of pregnancy all the time, I feel I have to 'roll' out of bed rather than 'get out'.. I am so depressed because of it all, the weight is horrifying. I have been to Dr after Dr and get told there is nothing they can do..
    I have, all year had a extremely active lifestyle from hiking, rock climbing, power walking along the cliff tops, camping, body surfing and usual stuff all that 5 days a week.. my diet, I even stopped drinking coffee.. I dont like sweets and things so my diet was really good, green teas, water, bran & puffed wheat for breakfast, salad wraps with chicken breast and natural yogurt for lunch, soups etc.. for over 6 months.. walking daily, the works.. I would be lucky to lose half a kilo or a kilo a week which the next week I would put on..
    My stomach problems are so severe I have had enough and Im really thinking in a way that scares me.. I just read up about TL today and for the first time came across the symptoms of PTLS and I was so furious, completely besides myself.. but happy in a sense that I now believe I KNOW what is wrong with me..
    I was never ever told of any of this, all I was told was the possible risks during the procedure and also the chances of me falling pregnant.. My husband has also had a vasectomy.. I had my tubes clamped... I have always (even after my 4th baby) had a high metabolism and eaten like a horse and always been 52-55kgs all my life.. Now since I had my son and the TL I am 92kgs and keep getting bigger each week, I feel like im going to burst.. Can someone help me? Has anyone had this and does a TR correct it :'( Sorry for the length of this.. Thank you so much for the time to read it :'( I want to sue that flipping Dr for what he has done to me :'( xox

    I'm going to ask the totally stupid question - what does LT and TR stand for?
    I really want to respond to your post but feel that I need to know what they are before I do.

    Big hugs to you

    Angel,
    I have definitely seen thread about post tubal ligation problems around here somewhere but I can't find it right now. Hopefully someone will come in and point you in the right direction.
