Hey all,

I could really use some help here please, I'm at my wits end right now. I'll try and be a succinct as possible.....I have been reading TRT related web sites for 2 weeks now and I am more confused then before I even heard of TRT. I'm having information overload at this point.

I'm a 45yo male, 6'2 280lbs and am fairly healthy except for being overweight by about 40-50 lbs

I am a big guy but not very muscularly defined and I would really like to be, I have been weightlifting very intensely for the past 3 months and do not have much to show for it in regards to size and / or definition. I have also changed my eating habits to a more healthy regimen and still can't lose weight - I also suffer from an incredibly low libido and ED. This sucks as I am crazy for my long term girlfriend and she has a wicked libido! I am really incredibly depressed over all this, it has been going on for years now.

I was recently tested for low T and the first reading came out with a level of 262, I then went for another reading and this time it came out to 440. My endo doc agreed to start me on TRT next week at my next appt. I am extremely excited and I want to make sure I do this the right way. If I can get it right the first time and actually see / feel results .... it would be a God send.

Can someone PLEASE give me a "TRT for dummies, easy to understand answer" to the following question(s)?

*Gel or Patch or injection? - I travel for work quite a bit so if it's injection I would need it to be self inject as I am out of town and away from home quite a bit.

* What is the maximum dosage I should start out on?

* I know the answer will vary greatly depending on the person BUT how long SHOULD it take generally for my libido to come back?

* How long before I may find out if my ED was a result of the LOW T?

* If I continue the intense weight lifting, how long before I should start to see results after starting TRT?

* Does TRT help with weight loss as well?

* I have also read that HGH coupled with the TRT and exercise will boost fat loss?

* Lastly, it feels like my doctor is hesitant on starting the treatment and is only doing so because he knows I will ultimately find a doctor who will if he doesn't. Please don't flame me over that last sentence. Its just that I know in my gut, it will help and at this point I am desperate for help.Can anyone suggest a doctor in the Brooklyn / NYC area who is competent, understanding and easier than other to start patients out on TRT?

Damn, I feel like I'm all over the freaking place here!!!

Can someone help a brother out? Please?!

Thanks.
