male only Low T

[Dexter1118 27]

Hello!

I am having VSG surgery on July 7. Super excited, scared, and anxious.

I have a question about Low T. I have been dealing with it for a couple of years. No treatment because we want to have kids and testosterone replacement therapy is an issue when it comes to fertility.

My question is this....

Has anyone seen an increase in their Testosterone levels after VSG and weight loss without treatment?

Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Fat does contain an enzyme that converts testosterone into estrogen which will lower your T level. As you lose weight you will lose that enzyme and have a higher T level.

Exercise can also help boost T levels.

There are a few threads here that discuss T levels post-op.

Good luck!

I would look into TRT more as you can be on TRT and still be fertile. IE. You can take HCG injections with your TRT to protect your fertility and gonad functions. Having said that, there are very serious health risks to having Low T and not treating it.
