Post-treatment testosterone

As I recall, the biggest side-effects of low testosterone are sexual dysfunction, unintended weight gain, bone-density loss, muscle-density loss, and elevated HbA1C (indicating progression towards type 2 diabetes).

You can monitor all of these, and if you don't find any problems, then there's nothing you need to fix.

@northoftheborder Yup. And beyond monitoring, ALL of those potential side-effects of low T are manageable with a proactive approach to exercise, diet, calcium supplementation, and the miracle-male drugs. As for the 260s being "low T", I think it's kind of at the low end of normal.
