Can Excess Body Weight Impact The Testosterone Levels In The Body?

Recently had lab work done that indicated hypothyroidism and also low testosterone. Total Testosterone=294 ng/dl 348-1197 Free Testosterone (Direct)=5.9 pg/ml 8.7-25.1TSH =6.440 uIU/ml 0.450-4.500Thyroxine (T4) =6.4 ug/dl 4.5-12.0I have been prescribed 100mcg Synthroid, but not anything for Testosterone. Reasons explained to me were BMI too high needed to lose weight first and check back in 1 month for possible effects to testosterone from increased thyroid production. My BMI is 37 and i am a 36yr old male. Is it normal for extra weight to impact testosterone levels this much?

Yes i will effect to the body
Possible risks include bleeding and collection of blood under the skin (hematoma), fluid accumulation, infection or poor healing at the incision site. These risks are minor and common to many operations and can be dealt with easily. Blood clot in the deep veins of the leg is a problem associated with lying still for too long. Any surgery carries risks associated with anesthesia. These risks will be fully discussed with you prior to your consent for surgery. The low transverse abdominal scar usually heals very nicely but occasionally may undergo hypertrophy and in a person with keloidal tendency may become a keloid. Your Aesthetic surgeon at Aesthetics Medispa will tell you ways to avoid and treat these if they happen.
