Hello forum readers and posters,

Been reading the forums a long time and thought it about time I join to share my story with my fast approaching my repair with Dr Feller. I had a very poor surgery done in the UK about 2 years ago and it has left me in a very unfortunate situation. I now live under a hat and have lost the majority of my friends because I never go out or dare let anyone into my situation as have been so embarrassed to do so. I had a transplant naively with the Hospital Group here in England and was basically left with the infamous transplant that this so called clinic offers, a disaster! You can see from my pictures the poor attempted made and the situation I have been left with now thanks to these con men. I do not want to dwell on the past but look to the future which is why I am posting now as my repair with Dr Feller is in November and I hope it is the start of a new life for me. I have spent 2 years researching and have had chance to meet a number of people who have helped me along the way, most of all Spex. Spex help has been amazing and I can only thank him for such generosity and patience with me over the past year.

I am having surgery on the 7th November and now can't wait as for me its been a tough couple of years and I am now very much looking forward to getting my life back. I will keep you informed after the surgery and more than happy to have my pictures shown here to help. I really hope everyone considering a transplant gets the opportunity to research first and not be tricked as I was. Thanks for reading and happy to receive any help and guidance from here on in.

Hi Phil

Always good to see another UK guy on here sharing their experiences.

Sorry to hear about your previous experience, on the positive front you have chosen one of the very best surgeons to perform your repair. I am about 5 weeks post HT and so far very pleased with how everything has gone.

Totally agree with your comments about Spex.

Good luck - look forward to tracking your progress.

Tubs

Hey Phil,

Who did your surgery 2 years ago? and how long do you have to grow your hair to be able to hide the scar at the back?

Regards petchski, and good luck with the surgery!

Petski, Phil mentioned the clinics name in his post - it was the Hospital Group.

Man, Dr. Feller is going to fix that head up 1, 2, 3. No problem at all. Your crown is fine. That hairline area is going to be spectacular in 12 months. I wish I was in your position (hair-wise) going in to a Feller HT. I can already imagine the results on you.

I agree, Dr. Feller will fix you up and in the next year it will feel like a bad dream. You have plenty of hair so I'm sure you will be pretty much hairlossLESS (if there is such word lol)
