It is a minor surgical procedure but she made it sound simple like 10 minutes and done and you will be feeling great.

[QUOTE="STEJ, post: 117664, member: 18867"] Hello, I'm new to this forum but I was hoping that some of you may have some experience with Pellet therapy specifically SottoPelle. I've been having LowT symptoms past 2 years, after discussing with my doctor during my yearly physical she basically said i'm too young to have low T.

He wanted to do this and have me come back in 3 months and see if my symptoms were better and if my test levels went up. I came back in 3 months and my test levels were just over 300 and he said I should be feeling fine now I am within the normal range.
