I've heard different things from different doctors and it doesn't seem like there's a consensus on it. I'm curious as to what your doctor said and why.
No experience myself yet so I didn't answer the survey but one of my friends who isn't on the site was told to stop injections for 2 weeks beforehand.
I went to dr garramone, i never had to stop or lower my doasge for surgery. I have never understood why some surgeons make you stop before surgery. Honestly, even if one would have told me not to, i probably would have taken it anyway.
I am going to go to garramone and he didn't tell me to stop taking T.
Brownstien, did not stop or lower dose at all.

Mine has told me to not change my T usage either, but I know some surgeons who want you to. From what I've heard the reason is because T makes it harder to heal. I don't understand this. This would mean all males were at a higher risk from healing from anything- which I'm pretty sure isn't true. As long as your T is at a proper level I don't see the problem.
