I’m obese (377)with low Testosterone and high estrogen. Has anyone or does anyone know anyone who was obese, went on TRT, lost an appreciable amount of weight, then went off TRT and there test levels were normal?
I guess I would try to come off to see how much weight is affecting my test levels. My last total t came in at 239 and my estradiol was at 38.I now weigh about what you do (6'4", 375lb) When I started in May '18 I weighed 415. I can't see why I would want to come off once I reach my goal physique, which I figure is a couple of years away. I've never considered doing what you propose.
