Question for the men

Hey fellas,

Post surgery, after weight loss, have you noticed your testosterone levels shoot up ? Mine have nearly doubled. I just got blood work back. Any experiences and insight are greatly appreciated.

I haven't been tested, but I would be suprised if my T levels went up since surgery. While being obese definitely suppresses testosterone production so does operating on a big caloric deficit so I generally woudn't expect levels to increase until you have settled in closer to you equilibrium weight. That said everyone is different and there could be other reasons for increased T in the blood, that may or may not be related to the surgery. I'm not sure what your levels are or when your tests were, but stress could have suppressed your T levels in your earlier tests.

Either way Testosterone levels don't really matter that much unless they are too high or too low (and generally a diagnosis of "Low T" is just an excuse old men use to get some winnie (winstrol) from an unscrupulous doctor in Florida.

Either way congrats on the great progress so far.
