Good day
Noted your concern. May I know what was the reason why you underwent the surgery for ?
was it for weight reduction?

Obesity is a cause of low testosterone. I would advice to wait for another month and then recheck fasting testosterone level. if low, you need to check thyroid blood profile, Serum prolactin, LH, FSH, Fasting glucose, Lipid profile .
