Nsaids , Clomid and testosterone replacement therapy post op after gastric bypass surgery



Recommended Posts

I quit Testosterone Replacement Therapy, after 2 years on it.

I was not on steroids !!!! Its testosterone replacement therapy, it makes a man at 40 years old, feel great, high sex drive, etc..

It is not pills and 5 different steroids going to you stomach. Its one low dosage intermuscular injection per week.

I do not drink alcohol, or smoke nicotine.

I quit cold turkey, ["weaned off, TRT with very low dosage weekly shot"], 5 weeks before my successfully , gastric bypass surgery , I am still currently off TRT probably forever.

I am 40 years old, ex powerlifter.

I am currently 6'3" 299 lbs , i lost 48 lbs as of today in 3 weeks.

I only choose gastric bypass surgery because my insurance covered it 100%, i knew it was not reversible, going in.

I was told I could continue TRT for life 4 weeks after post op. but now I read No NSAIDS and no Steroids , and they are to opposite things ???? because they can? cause ulcers in the new smaller stomach, and around the staple line.

That being, said I am prepared to quit TRT forever !!! But I don't understand why ? It makes no sense.

I know for a fact my natural testosterone will come back in a few months, being off TRT, I am not worried about that.

*****These are some things that I cant understand and it makes no sense to me , during 4 week post operation. *******

NSAIDS is an appreciation for "NONSTEROIDAL anti-inflammatory drugs" but then it says you CANNOT take Steroids' either ?????

Can someone please explain to me how that makes sense ? One is NON STEROIDAL and one is STEROIDALl ??????

Now on to the Clomid brand name drug name is clomiphene , it can be taken by men or women, i have read many posts about women using Clomid post operation to get pregnant !!! there doctors said it was fine but , as I did further research Clomid is a NSAID !!!!????? how does that make sense ???

Clomid taken by men post cycle therapy off TRT will help a man boost testosterone 200% i have done it before in the past it works bringing back natural testosterone levels. The Clomid comes in crushable form pills and liquid too, obviously because , after gastric bypass surgery, your body does not absorb medication like it did before.

This is a serious post for people who know what they are talking about please respond with personal stories or any knowledge or insight that you have would be appreciated thank you.

awesome thanks for the advice, i get what your saying. My surgeon is very strict and old school and very cut and dry, but a great surgeon, i can ask someone on his team. my surgeon doesn't believe in lifting weights ever only walking for the rest of your life he told me. and my dietician said yes, you can eventually lift weights again. my surgeon is just strict too strict.

men with low testosterone, even if they feel great now if they ever tried trt they would be shocked at how amazing it is. obviously before they had gastric bypass surgery its great.

thanks

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
