Hello Stevey,

I wouldn't recommend any of those as we have learned through a lifetime of being overweight they just don't work and can do harm to you. May I suggest you go see your doctor and or back to your surgeon. If you have experienced weight gain after surgery there may be a medical reason. If not, and you just got off track the best thing you can do is get back to the basics. I have a great list for you if you are interested.

Good luck and let us know if you need anything else.

Regards,

Kathy

I'm not sure why you are considering testosterone boosters, but I have to assume because you feel it's due to testosterone being low? If that's the case, I would go to a urologist and get your testosterone tested. If it's low they can provide you with testosterone replacement - generally either topical (Androgel) or injectable. Neither should be affected by your RNY given the routes of administration.

I would stay away from supplements for that. I'm not sure of the effectiveness, and if your levels are actually low there are prescriptions that will work.

Test boosters are crap. Diet pills aren't much better.
