Hello Guys,

I am done with my surgery and I would say that I am satisfied as of now. I would comment on the results after 6 months down the line. Again, I thank all of you for your help and guidance.

I had the surgery at 7:45 AM on Wednesday and I reached clinic at 7:20. I was the first one and then Dr. Feller came in. We entered the clinic and then after sometime he started taking pictures and did markings. He had to shave my existing hair from front and mid scalp because he was not able to do the markings properly.

After all that, surgery began; they took strip, Dr. Feller did the incisions and then the technicians started implanting grafts. Surgery was over by 3:30 PM. As all of you are very much aware of this process, it was pretty much normal. Only two notable points in my case

1. Dr. Feller said that I had exceptional hair density in my donor area and he managed to get 3130 grafts in the strip. He had planned for 3000. Also, he didn't charged my for extra 130 grafts. I can get another same or more number of grafts in future.

2. My bleeding was very much in the beginning. I had followed all pre-op instructions for a month before the surgery. Doc said that its not my fault; some people generally have more bleeding. But in my case, it was very much and as the surgery progressed, it became normal and then better than normal. Dr. said he saw such thing for the first time in his career. I was happy and on the other side little tensed, but everything went on fine.

Now I have a big long wait time and I am probably ready for it. There is still some pain and discomfort in donor area. I am still 3 days post-op.

I would post the pictures soon. Thanks again everyone!!

Refuetogobald,

Big congratulations on your very recent HT with Feller. Im glad that everything went well, as Im sure it would. Its good that you got slightly more grafts than planned and the comment regarding your hair characteristics and future donor possibilities must be pleasing.

The wait is on, but the hard work is done. The selection of your Dr, and waiting for your date. Not to mention the procedure itself! All photos would of course be hugely welcomed so that we can all follow your progress with you.

Congratulations again my friend!

Refusetogobald-

The link doesn't seem to work. Please repost? I'm strongly looking at Dr. Feller and would love to see his work. Congrats-it seems like you made it through the first month without a hitch!

Refusetogobald,

I fixed the above link. I think what may have happened was that your photos were probably posted in the wrong section of the forum. Once I moved them, the link didn't work anymore.

Thanks for your understanding and patience.

Bill
