Surgery and High Testosterone levels

**AmPump** · 09-14-2012, 11:16 AM

I'm leaving for surgery in an hour and just found out my Test Level is at 2700. Does this place me at any dangerous risks? The doc knows I take testosterone but did not do a blood test.

BTW/ Surgery is a local freeze at shoulder. I will be awake while they reattach my bicep to the forearm.

I would think you're perfectly fine. What would you be concerned about?

instead of being worried about test levels, i'd be more concerned about resting pulse rate, blood pressure, RBC......

If all your other vitals are normal, I would think that the Test would help your heal.

Exactly. The issue here is not the test levels themselves, but the effects of chronically elevated test levels on the body.
The main factors for surgery would be blood pressure, heart rate, H&H, and platelet count.
Also, don't ever take Tbol (turinabol ) before surgery. The stuff works like an anticoagulant (aspirin or warfarin, even).
