Question

Answer
Dear Ruth,

Are you on hormonal birth control? If so, that can make you gain weight. Do you think the problem is because of the tubal? Can you explain that to me?

Do you have an exercise program and are structured with your meal plans? Let me know a  little bit more about that so I can help you.

Also, you may email me at DCHERYL51@yahoo.com so we can talk more.

Sincerely,
Diane Cheryl
