I'm a 52 year old male, 320 Lbs, 6'1 (wasnt really overweight until I got into my late 30 and just get heavier each year). I recently requested that my doctor test my testosterone level and it came back at 194 (280-800)
Test,Free 21.9 (35.0-155)
FSH 6.2 (1.5-12.4)
LH 5.8 (1.7-8.6)
Glucose 95 (65-99) fasting
PSA 0.5 (<=4.0)
BUN/Creatinine ratio 8.9(10.0-28.0)
Cholesterol 237 (<=199)
Triglycerides 237 (<=149)
Cholesterol/HDL ratio 5.5 (<=4.9)
HDL Cholesterol 43 (>=40)
Non-HDL Cholesterol 194 (<=159)
LDL Cholesterol, Calculated 147 (<=129)
VLDL Cholesterol 47 (<-29)
blood pressure is in the good range and I've had 2 sleep apnea tests that came up negative
I took additional tests this past Friday for E2, TSH, fT3, fT4, IGF-1, and DHEA-S and awaiting the results.
Next Thursday, I go into my doctors office for training on self-inject Testosterone. I do not know the dose yet and if my doctor will prescribe anything else such as hcg or anastrozole but the new test results will shed more light on that subject.
This is all new to me and I'm trying to educate myself as much as I can and reading through all the threads, I also ordered Nelson's book as well and should get that in a week.
My question is, with my weight, what should I look out for and what can I expect being so heavy. I'm reading some guys gain weight and some guys lose weight. Right now I just dont have any energy to even start an exercise regime and being a trucker do not have access to a gym(I can start a walking program though) I dont know how knowledgeable my doctor is in TRT but he seems to be the kind that is willing to work with patients.
