Restarting TRT after surgery advice

[kelkel]

I think it's ridiculous to make you go off testosterone. Fear mongering. They're concerned about test making your blood thicker. Well damn, how about pre-op blood work to determine exactly where your numbers are and if needed donate blood. It's all liabilities.

Agree with Cylon. Numbers are surprising for your situation. Be interesting to see where they would go if off a few more months.

Exactly, it’s the surgeon covering his ass via malpractice. Thick blood is exactly their concern…check your hematocrit. Under 50 and I wouldn’t have any concerns at all. I’m not a doctor nor do I pretend to be but I have a few surgeries since being lm TRT (almost 9 years now) and that’s always been the conversation.

Best of luck

In case any is interested or cares lol, I got bloodwork at Kaiser the next day and got my testosterone levels measured there also. My primary only orders the minimum hence why I spend the extra $150-$200 at Quest. Not sure what the
LC MS/MS means?
