Was there an official count yet? Bill already had over 7000 total grafts in the previous 3 HTs, so I'm going to guess a low number figuring he's almost tapped out of good donor supply. I'm guessing 1500. Where would you put much more than that on his head anyway?

Glad it went well for you Bill, i guess 2184 all the best mgem

Congrats Bill. you got it done exactly after one week i got mine done. So you were sitting in my seat.
I cant believe its been a week for me and i dont even feel like i have HT done. I had no swelling, slight tightness for first few days and nothing really to complain about.
My guess is 1800. Now send me the Amazon card. Will ya?

Hi
Is it too late to propose 2,621?

(Amazon is great)

Man, I'm salivating at the prospect of a season of Lost on blu-ray courtesy of Amazon, Bill's laxity, Hasson's expertise, and my guessing skillz...! I hope Jo nagged you mercilessly about performing his patented scalp exercises...

*A Follicles Dying Wish To Clinics*

1 top-down, 1 portrait, 1 side-shot, 1 hairline....4 photos. No flash.

Follicles have asked for centuries, in ten languages, as many times so as to confuse a mathematician.

Enough is enough! Give me documentation or give me death!

I'm sorry to keep everyone waiting in anticipation. But my delay was two-fold:

1) Since I offered a prize for the winner, I wanted to give everyone ample time to offer their input

2) I had a long flight last night and am still recovering during my post-op period

Right now I'm sitting here catching up on some work and am ready to share the final graft count.

It looks like the guesses ranged between 1611 and 3018 (with the exception of Raphael84 with a whopping vote of 7000+ until he came to his senses and guessed again after af few drinks ).

I've listed the guesses below the way they were when I tallied them:

1. theEmperor - 2073
2. wantego - 2617
3. Leeson - 1873
4. Latinlotus - 2408
5. thanatopsis 2830
6. Raphael - 2200
7. Eman - 2307
8. Spex - 2414
9. Imissthebarber - 1926
10. PGP - 2550
11. yankeesfan - 2733
12. Clint69 - 2717
13. Byehair - 1611
14. Dewayne - 2950
15. Jazz - 2275
16. Justgrow - 2254
17. Atomic - 2260
18. MiketheDane - 1824
19. Acrobaz - 2040
20. Mrkneed - 2850
21. LaGrange - 2275
22. Mr. GQ - 3018
23. Ceasar08 - 2468
24. Petchski - 2025
25. ShavedDethMonk - 1750
26. GTDL - 2555 Grafts
27. dannyskywalker - 2998
28. Take a chance - 3023
29. BeHappy - 1500
30. mgem - 2184
31. hairseekerusa - 1800
32. LondonTraveller - 2621

And though I would love to tell you all that I've officially made the 10,000+ club, I'm afraid I fell short by a few hundred grafts. Dr. Hasson would have been able to get more however, I was also insistent on trying to optimize my scar as much as possible too since this is most likely going to be my last procedure for a long time, if not forever. But I won't say never .

So without further due - the final graft count is.....

..............................

..............................

2068

This makes "TheEmperor" the lucky winner of a $50 Amazon.com gift card.

Will "TheEmperor" please send me a private message with your full name and address and I'll be happy to give you your reward.

In the next few days, I will post some of my photos on my hair loss blog.

Stay tuned :-).

Bill
