My journey with T-pellets

I know there is no simple thing to do to lose weight. Trust me! I'd have done it by now if there was. However, I do look for things that help. I heard a while back about T-pellets and decided to check it out. I'm going to see Dr. Reid at Restora Austin. I read all about the pellets on the website and heard his own story one morning on 101X. They're supposed to give you more energy, improve your workouts, and hopefully, help you lose weight due to the first 2 parts. I went in for a consultation and it seemed like this is something to try. The pellets are testosterone. They are bio-identical hormones so it exactly like the hormones our bodies produce. However, sometimes our bodies don't produce enough. To start, I had to get a bunch of lab work done. Testosterone, thyroid, glucose, blood count were done. Dr. Reid says that a woman's testosterone level should be between 100-200. Mine was 12. Hmmm?? Guess that means I'm lacking a little. Maybe that's why I don't get the workout results I want and I get frustrated and stop going. Doc says that I'm a great candidate. However, this isn't a miracle pill (pellet in this case). You have to exercise and eat right and get moving. He's done these on people who are surprised to not have any results but they aren't doing anything. He, on the other had, got the pellets, watches what he eats, exercises and he lost 60-80 lbs. Pretty cool. I went in on Monday morning and got my pellets. I have 5 all testosterone pellets placed in my right butt cheek. Yes, it does require some lidocaine with a little slit and the pellets are placed under the skin. It doesn't hurt. It's a little sore now but it's no biggie. I can't swim for a few days. That's ok. I have a dressing on and it comes off in a couple more days. Now, it's not going to be a change overnight. It takes a while. I will lab work done again in a month to make sure my levels didn't get too high. If so, then my pellet dosage will be adjusted with other hormones. This is a great place to write about this and document how it works. I'm really excited!! I'm happy to let everyone know my progress. Wish me luck!!

I'm back!

I took a little, okay a long, vacation from writing on here but it's time to come back and get something going on here. I can't wait!!!
