Hey...read your post. My heart goes out to you. I know I would probably have felt the same way, like what the Fxxx am I caring about my hair as an event that transcends every imagineable event is unfolding. But, remember, you are only doing something to improve yourself. Being there in spirit is equally important. I am sure this is only minimal consolation, but feelings and kharma go a long way.

Hey shouldIdoit...you are being uber smart. Talk to these doctors, and get more and more opinions so that you have a wide variety of notes to look over. And, personally, I think its a GREAT idea to point blank ask doctors about negative results. A doctor who can say, YES THERE HAVE BEEN ONE OR TWO OR WHATEVER PATIENTS THAT DIDN"T WORK AS WELL, is someone that I would be more apt to trust. Most WON"T offer that up, and I don't like that. So, not liking it is not enough...be proactive, and do it yourself.

Shlomo...Awesome job, and for 4 months, you should feel superb!! Congrats, and more to come for sure.

Hey VM, I remember, that I had a bit of shedding too...not sure to what extent. Definitely check in with a doc, or maybe more than one to get second opinion. As far as sex/masturbation, can't imagine the two (or three)should interfere.

Hey Robbie 15..who was your HT doc? Curious.

I totally can understand your concern. Would you consider wearing a hairpiece or something like that so you feel more comfortable. Hard to think for the future, but I know it is going to look great. I am experiencing some shedding, and my head is still somewhat sore at the donor site/strip. Had the absorbable ones, and three weeks out, there are still quite a few stitches. No big deal just is what it is.xo

Pretty good. Mostly all gone...noone can really tell anything except for the little hairs that are on the crown. I suppose those will fall out soon for awhile, at least from what everyone has told me. HEaling is going great. Some soreness on the donor site, but nothing to complain about. I was kind of freaked to do it, but in the end, it was quite easy, and though I had to travel that was also easy. Stay in touch, and let me know if you have any further qs or want to chat. Best, MikeSF

Hey Mrs Hair, Bummer we missed each other....would have taken you to uhhhhh....well SUBWAY..blah, or something nearby. Hahhah...LOL. But, next time. Anyway, keep me informed of all and good developments. All my best

Mrs. Hair..Hi I was at the clinic just days before you, having my HT with Dr Epstein. Super guy, straight shooter, did a great job so far. I know it is hard for women to lose their hair, I think more than men. But I suffered too..loss of self esteem, self consciousness etc. Very proud of what I did, and of your move as well. CONGRATS to you in a big way..MikeSf

I love that you are at least considering all of the things that we all consider HAPPY. I go through that all of the time..does hair really matter. At 44 how is that really going to give me the confidence that I think having more hair will bring. However, I can say that if you don't like something or you want to change something..losing weight, adding hair whatever, I think the issue is taking control and doing whatever you can do to make yourself feel better is FANTASTIC. But the biggest issue still remains which is not to stop there. Keep getting better in your brain and your heart. Love good, and read and get smart in things you are interested. I think that rounds out the picture. And, yes, looking in the mirror and feeling good about some changes you make on your head and in your abs is to commended.

Hey Steve, So glad you are going for the gusto and doing the procedure. I would love to hear how it goes.I am in the process of searching for the right person for a HT, so all info is helpful. Good luck...I bet you will be really happy.. MikeSF

Hi..I live in Madrid, orginally from the US. Would love to possibly meet Dr Epstein in London, depending when he is going to be there. THanks MIKESF

Hi..MIkeSF here. Not sure the whole Limmer vs not Limmer thing that is going on here. But, being from San Antonio,where they are based, I checked them out. I am considering doing a procedure, and have checked out Limmer, Epstein, Keene and Shapiro. They all have stellar reputations. I have two friends that did the procedure in San Antonio with Bobby and Brad Limmer. They looked phenomenal. They take a conservative approach like the other good ones. So, not sure why they are getting a bad rap. Just my input here..Best to all

Hey Hairfree, I haven't done one my HT and am still looking around, but have heard Dr. Charles is excellent. In either case, from your pic, you will get excellent results from around 3K grafts. Either one should give you excellent results from people I have spoken with over the last few months.

Can't imagine anyone being more obsessed about it than myself. Ever since I have found this forum, I have been on here..almost every day..finding safe haven from my craziness...I am back and forth with my decision making about who to choose, whether to do it..( I know I want to ..but worried that it won't turn out right, my donor hair is weak, I will lose my already existing hair etc....but one thing is for sure...this fxxxking worry has existed since the beginning of mankind..so the fact that during the Roman Empire, gents were looking for baldness cures to me underscores the unnaturalness of losing your hair...going gray, even receding a bit..ok. But losing a body part..that don't feel good!!! So go forth and let's make it happen..both of us...or all of us who want to take control!!!
