HT won by a land slide!

Fabe, you beat me to it! I was just about to post about the segment on dateline. 5 different guys, 5 different techniques. Laser comb, rogaine, propecia, viviscal (a fish oil thing from Finland), and a transplant by Dr. Bauman?? I've never heard of him? Anyway, they checked back 6 months later, and obviously the transplant blew the others away. The people out there still have the "doll hair" notion in their minds when they think of transplantation, hopefully this will shed some light on the subject.
The guy had 1700 grafts at $10,000 which is a little pricey if you ask me, but the doc did a pretty good job from what I saw. The guy taking propecia also did pretty well, especially considering propecia needs a year to fully kick in, and he was only taking it 6 months. Anyway, just thought I'd let everyone know.
I'm a little over 3 months post-op from Dr. Epstein and things are going pretty damn well, I'll post some pictures at 6 months. Ya know it's funny, I feel somewhat privlaged that we all have this website for everyone to use. We know 100x more than the average person about hairloss, and how great a transplant can be. It was like Dateline was tredding on our turf, haha. Ok everyone that's it for now, take care.

Yes jr1, the doc did well and I am not an expert about temple work, but with all the hair he grew, my wife said he still looked balding because of his temples.

Wow, you guys are on the ball!

I watched it too. I have to say that I was more than a little impressed with the lasercomb (though the jury is definitely still out).

Fabe, his temples will grow in a little more by 12 months I think (or hope for the guy). The graft placement looked pretty tight from what I could tell. I think that it was 1900 grafts.

It was either 1800 or 1900 grafts he received. I was impressed with how Dateline handled the whole show. I was watching with my parents and I caught myself yelling out "I did that!" or "I remember going through this when I had my transplant!". The whole fish herbal vitamin crap was a scam for that one guy if you ask me. And the propecia did good for 6 months, they just didn't give it time to kick in. Did anyone else hear them say that 6 months from tonight they're going to do a follow up show to see how the same people are progressing? I can't wait. I am going to make a note so I won't have any plans that night! lol

damn!! I missed it!! Who dropped the ball letting me know!

If anyone hear's of a recast, please let me know.
