[QUOTE="ChristmasElf, post: 15686, member: 3407"] Good day, I'm 64 yr old male visually impaired with some residual sight (and a guide dog) who had a triple bypass open heart surgery April 2014. I recovered quickly from the bypass and cardio rehab. My cardiologist says I have made an outstanding recovery.i weigh 127lb and body fat approx 15%. I now do 30 min of high intensity interval training 3 to 5 days a week and started strength training with a trainer 5 days a week for a hour. in January. Lab results on 02/06/15 showed total T 193 (ref 300-890), T Free calc 27.9 (47-244), SHBG 50 (13-71), %T Free calc 1.4 (1.6-2.9). My lipid panel was good tot chol 113 (130-195). Trig 58 (10-190), HDL 51, LDL direct 52, TSH 3.5 (.34-4.82) psa 1.1. I have discussed the blood work results with my new primary care doctor and we will have a detailed discussion 16 March during my physical. He wants me to discuss this with my cardiologist during a previously scheduled appointment 10 March. He appears to be ready to prescribed testosterone gel replacement therapy if the cardiologist has no strong objections. From my reading of the studies posted in this for him it seems the benefits for someone in my position far outweigh any possible side effects. Interested in your view of testosterone therapy benefits for somebody with cardiovascular disease but otherwise in very good shape. Also interested in whether starting with testosterone gel is the best route. With my visual impairment it is likely that testosterone injections would require me to go to the doctors office every week or two which is sub optimal. in addition to the bloodwork test testerone levels I have several of the other low-T signs but not all. Glad to have this for him to bounce ideas off of and see what issues other people on testosterone therapy are having [/QUOTE]
