I went to see a doctor today and asked that I have my hormone levels checked and whatever else I should have tested for Gynecomastia prior to going for surgery.
And he's sending me off to a clinic to have me tested for:

Prolactin Level
LH, FSH
STSH
Testosterone Level
Estrogen Level

Is this all that I require to ensure that Hormones are not
cauing the problem?
Oh and what are those abreviations I listed?
Thanks  ;)

STSH i beleive is sensitive thyroid stimulating hormone.

LH is Luteinizing hormone.

and

FSH is follicle stimulating hormone.
Had surgery with Dr. J.C. Fielding on August 2nd.

Those are a good start to even determine if there's any sort of problem.  I'm surprised, though, that he didn't order SHBG also.
