Yeah, me too. I am about 95 days or so and some hairs are starting to grow along with the grafts that never fell out post op. I knew that AS SOON as I realized it was starting to grow I was going to become obsessed every day. That started about 2 weeks ago; but, the last couple of days I've been able to mellow out and stop playing at the mirror every 20 minutes. Time has gone by quickly but if I obsess about it, I'll get that "time standing still" feeling and go crazy.

haha

Guys, I know it is hard as I've done it 3 times! BUT, again, once you hit the 3 month point, you will start to feel those "tingling" feelings on your head.. That is the grafts popping through so you know the hair will show shortly..

Just say to yourself, I am moving forward now not backwards..

I am experiencing the talked about pimples at this point. I dont know if they are pimples, but about 5 have showed up in the past 2 days.

I have been putting neosporin on them which seems to help.

I will take that as a sign that something is happening from what I have read.

I see some growth, but this part of my scalp has been void of hair a long time!
And I can hardly believe that it is going to grow hair at all!
Cant stop looking...

Indeed

It's a cool feeling isn't it.. I'm at 3 months and a week or two.. The best is yet to come and I am enjoying every passing day!! 8 months from now I will not have to use any type of concealer for the first time in almost 15 years.
The happiness that these three HT's have brought me is immeasurable..

People that consistently knock Hair transplantation should take notice.. There is one happy camper here.. Damn happy ! Just shows you what extensive research, a good doctor, and a solid game plan can do .. Oh not to mention patience and about 18k..

Jobi, Your excitement is contagious!

It is great to hear how successful your HT's have been.

18k...It's really funny but the money isn't even a concern. I happily pay that for a head of hair!

I spent 10k on my first one & don't have any problem with paying that for my anticipated second HT.

I hope the doctors don't see this...they might raise thier rates!

It is probably an amazing feeling to not half to put on concealer after 15 years!

I am looking foward to ditching the hats I have been wearing like a security blanket for the past 15 years!

Glad to hear you are damn happy Jobi, keep spreading the cheer!
