Thank you for the reply. I went this morning at around 9:45 to get the total, free and a few other things tested. I'm hoping this surgery allows me to stop the pain killers. The doc said he doesn't do the injections at his office or he'd just do that. I don't have and skin to skin contact so shouldn't be a problem. I also here that when I stop the treatment my T will plummet so it could build back up on its own. I just don't want to feel like this anymore and gain my weight back. I know you can't exactly give medical advise or diagnosis but could the low T account for my rapid weight loss? I picked up a 50lb box the other day and it was very difficult so I know I lost strength as well. From what I read most of my symptoms could be caused by this so I figured I'd ask you guys as you've all been through this. Thanks again for the reply and I look forward to learning more.
