Hey Guys, sorry it took so long to update. Been a very busy year or so. I got on here the other day and saw a thread about "why people don't come back and update?" so it reminded me to get it done! I am at 18 months now and VERY happy with it. I added a few pics to the album. They are all wet hair pics because my battery died; I'll get dry hair ones soon.

Hey 40!!!! Nice to see the B & W camera you bought in 58 still works!!!!

J/K buddy!!!!

Anyway, your going to look really good after your session---- I would say anything over 3500 grafts is going to make a you look pretty darn good!!!!!

Who knows, you may have to start dating girls in their 20's in order to compliment your new "doo"!!!!!

Looking forward to your progress buddy!!!!

Get this: my 11yr old daughter changed the camera to B/W and I can't figure out how to go back to color!!!

I hope the 4K grafts do me right. My middle area/widows peak is still way down where its always been so I'm hoping that won't be a problem. I am willing to give up a centimeter of forehead coverage to get the DENSITY I want but with my middle hairline going all the way down there, I'm not sure how that can work? Does that make sense? I want to wear it longer if possible; basically one length all the way around so all of my hair would be even with my chin from front to back. I will need density for that but I'm worried that widows peak might screw up that plan.

P40,

You are going to be a showcase patient with your situation IMO. I trust you will get a great result and for someone like me who has no "widows peak" I am truly jealous!! We look forward to your post-op photos, (color please!!!)

I also think 4k FU will give you very nice coverage and density. You are in good hands, I am excited for you.

Pushing,

Nice to finally see your ugly mug :P. Just teasing brother. 4000 grafts would give you some really nice density and coverage...I think in about 10 months from now you are going to be one happy camper!

I offered this to you in another post, though I don't know if you saw it...I know you are nervous about your journey...so if you want to talk (on the phone) to get any advice/comfort from not only someone who's been through 3 HTs, but someone who's been to Hasson and Wong somewhat recently. Anyway...PM me if you're interested. Later bro.

Bill

You'll be very pleased getting 4000 FU in your shape. It wouldn't surprise me to see you with appearance of a full head of hair. As Nobuzz stated you might be a H&W showcase. Jotronic should be concerned for his job. Good luck with everthing. Enjoy Vancouver, it's an awesome city.

Just buy a new camera. As cheap as they have become it isn't worth the frustration of actually trying to read an instruction manual!! :-)) Cheers

Hey guys, been away for a few days up in Cleveland. Thanks for all the positive inputs, I really appreciate it and I hope you are ALL right! I'm keeping fingers crossed.

The wife said icksnay on dating the 20 yr olds; she says 30 is as young as I can go and since she just turned 30, that works out really well...(for my continued good health and breathing ability)

Flc, I will most likely take you up on that offer here in the next couple of weeks. I really appreicate!

pushing,

I know I've mentioned this before but I think your results are going to be great. If you pack 3500-4000 grafts into that area, density shouldn't be a problem. H&W can definitely get it done for you. They are a class act, can hit the big numbers and will take good care of you.

Look forward to seeing your progress, my friend!
