today was 12 weeks post op. Im still thinner now that pre HT op. I sure hope my shock loss comes back! Its nice being past the crazy hair days, now Im waiting and watching for growth. Not sure if I have any growth yet, looks pretty thin

ive been on finistride for years, i cycled of rogaine for a 2-3 weeks for the ht. Then about 3 weeks post op i shed pretty bad, I look way thinner now than pre-op. the top of my head itches a lot still. Im 7 weeks post op Wednesday. thanks for the reply...back to waiting...

Thanks for the reply Rev333. This is my second HT, i dont recall shedding the first time as it was 8 years ago. This shedding sucks....Im glad to know it will come back Ive been using finistride and rogaine, now ill apply patience.

2 questions, Is shedding non trans planted hair located in the recipient area normal? Im MUCH thinner now than pre op. My head is really itchy in the recipient area, is this normal?

Checking in. Im now 6 weeks post op, half way until the fun stage : 2 questions, Is shedding non trans planted hair located in the recipient area normal? Im much thinner now than pre op. My head is really itchy in the recipient area, is this normal? Im using rogain and finistride.

Ya I took pics each day, Ill try to post them this weekend. I did use SMG last time too and document the who procedure for 12 months, not sure how to link it to this thread. The vibrating think some how made the shots not hurt, I dont know what it was but its new. Im not loving my crazy looking hair right now. Im going in for a hair cut Monday, hopefully it can be somewhat salvaged. I was hoping to pull this transplant off without anyone knowing other than my best friend who goes in for FUE next month. Im excited for next week, I want to itch the top of my head....ive been tying my hands to my waist at night so I dont itch my head in my sleep, lol

HT was performed July 22 by Dr. Paul Shapiro. Not a lot has changed. They have a shock thing that makes the shots barley hurt and lots of movies to watch. Its still hard sitting in a chair all day. I had roughly 2754 grafts in the middle where i was thinning about 20cm, hoping for 40-45cm now. I let them shave the top of my head.....it looks stupid, thankfully i work from home and can hide out. Last time they didnt cut my hair, i was back to the grind a week later. Ill have a odd haircut for a longer time this go around. I went in for my first shampoo yesterday, all went well. Ive been spraying that stuff on my head every 1/2 hour....man it makes my head itch!! Cant wait to itch the top of my numb head, lol. I took 2 showers today, all went well. I go in for a hair cut Monday, should be interesting.....I dont think they can fix this jacked up hair dew i got going on here. Gonna be a long 2 weeks. glad to have it behind me, next goal get back to normal life. ill try to post pics of pre op day 1 and day 2

its been a while since Ive been on here. I documented my first year pretty good in my blog. im coming up on 2 years since my HT dec 1st. I wondered prior to having a ht, would anyone know how real would it look. To date noone has ever known and Ive dated a bucket load of women in the last year and a half, maybe 30- I have recieved lots of compliments. My one friend said "we are lucky we stay in shape and have a full head of hair" noone has a clue. Ive lots of girls play with my hair, its thin I have very fine hair but it looks like a full head of hair. Having a ht was the best thing ever for me.

hey guys just popping. Whats are your thoughts about transplanting between native hair and at what point is it not worth it? Not trying to steal your thread this just came up so Im asking.

awesome documentation!!! Ill be watching the next couple months.

Just a quick update. I am approaching 13 months post op. It has been a great year. I feel I have turned the clocks back a few years. The dating scene has been insane!!! I didnt know how much a ht would effect my life for the positive. My confidence is very high. I thought I was confident and didnt think my hairlaoss bothered me too much, I can tell you it bothered me more than I thought. Now I feel like the old me. I also took the last year and have trained very hard and am in top physical shape. The 2 ares I have seen most improve is my face to face communications in buisness and my dating. I have mentioned my exwife left me for another man, which hurt deeply. Now I am dating beautiful women many times in there early 20 and much prettier than her- with my new hair Im way out of her league!!lol. I am greatfull i have gone through this expirience as it has humbled me and given me a greater sencer of compassion for people who have insecurities with there looks. I want to encourage anyone thinking of getting a ht, If you go with a top doc, and have a realistic game plan, it is amazing how it makes you feel about yourself.

if it was me I would do what Dr Feller suggested and cover up the bad ht job. You are still fortunate have found this site as there will be no more mistakes from this point forward. Some people find this site after they are totally screwed no donor left. things will turn out good for you if you listen to the advice people have given you.

you have a lot of hair already, I think one really good session you would be extatic with the results

no offense Janna, I love you and everyone at shapiro but your website sucks, i told matt that too, it is a terrible representation of how wonderfull you are. Your reputation is gold. Its interesting your marketing(atleast your website) is subpar, you do have a lot of good info, but could do so much better and you are swamped with buisness. Then you have bosley who market the heck out of themselves and give subpar work. NervousNelly, if you visit the clinic they are all truely wonderfull people. You will be so impressed on the upside if you only have info from their website. you can view my blog to the the kind of work they produce.

Im trying to post my last pics for the 1 year mark and it keeps saying this>>> Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server error '80040e57' String or binary data would be truncated. /admin/journal_entry.asp, line 176 is it a sight error, or something wrong with my computer?
