Hey everyone!
Well, the day came...and I cant tell you how excited,nervous and pumped up I was...I basically showed up a hour and half early LOL..
It was really cold!

Well, showed up and got greeted by Dr. Feller and of course he was great from minute one..

Sat down took some pictures and went over what to expect for the day...
met the staff..I loved the girls, they were sweet, funny and knew exactly how to make you feel comfortable, safe and just kept a pleasant
atmosphere.

So the time came for the shaving...next the shots which were really a breeze...no discomfort at all.
I also like to add that everyone in the room including Dr. Feller were very gentle, friendly and were constantly complimenting what a pleasant patient i was, they were being extra nice cause i have a terrible tendency to move and fidget... AAAAAAALOT, and they were really kind about it..I dont know if it showed but i was a nervous wreck for a while...thats just me...but towards the end the staff were joking and talking like we have worked together for like forever...I was really happy for the whole experience..

I feel like I accomplished a huge goal...I literally cried a bit on my way home cause I couldnt believe I went through with this..It really happened...
after all the worries, after staring and looking in the mirror for years hoping what I was looking at wasnt going to get worst... and which way can i style my hair hide it.
Well, now i just wait...and look forward to the progress and just looking forward to see the changes over the months...have a positive attitude..and just take a huge sigh of relief!

Thanks for reading...thanks to Dr feller and his staff..

and will be posting pics up very soon..
-Nicky

Cogratulations again Nicky.
Sounds like you whole HT experience with Dr Feller went great. Its good to hear that you were so relaxed eventually.
Its also pretty cool that all of your emotions were released immediately afterwards. Just goes to show, how much of a drain hairloss can be. Again real pleased for you man. Those pictures will of course be greatly welcomed.
Prior to that, a few questions if I may:
What Norwood would you suggest that you were?
How many grafts did you receive on the day and what was the plan for these?
Any future plans at this stage or does this one HT leave you in good stead?

Hey Raphael84!

ok im not sure which norwood i was...but i can tell you what was planned...

3000 strip

and thats exactly what was done...

and happened to have good donor hair which i was told, so in the future i can get some crown work done...but after examining me .. he was thrilled with the outcome.
which of course made me happy

its the second day now...and i feel no pain whatsoever ...first night was a little rough, but thats totally expected...just some discomfort in the strip area, but now, i feel pretty damn good...almost perfect actually...i didnt even take the pain medication...didnt need it..
so, so far so good...pictures will be up soon so you can get a idea what it looks liked before..
