Hi Everyone, Thanks so much for all of your feedback and words of encouragement. I'm sorry it took me so long to respond to your follow up responses. First late me say I have been taken finasteride within months from the time it was first approved. My goal was to keep as much of my hair as possible and then check in to having hair transplant procedures to fill in the areas where my hairloss was evident. I have also used rogaine since the time you needed a prescription on a pretty consistent basis and still do to this day. Like someone else mentioned the transplanted hair is suppose to remain regardless of finasteride or rogaine. I sent pictures to Dr. True and his assistant replied back saying my donor hair looked depleted, but they do a procedure where they don't take a strip, but do individual grafts which take longer and is more expensive. I am going to send pictures taken from my first 4 procedures and then the pics I took of myself last week. Does anyone know how to make the digital pics I took of myself smaller. They are taken forever to send. Thanks again for your support.

Hi Everyone, First time on this site......wish I had found this site before I had my first transplant surgery. I have had 6 procedures by two different doctors. Boy I am extremely disappointed and depressed. I have pictures from my first four procedures, but not the last two. I need to get a camera and learn how to post my pictures so you can see what I look like now. I would say I have had between 6,000 to 7,500 grafts all together that took over 5 years or so to complete. I feel a lot of that transplanted hair has stopped continuing to grow. I have spent between 25,000 and 30,000 and don't make a lot of money...it was all years of saving and planning. At one time the frontal area had some density to it and now it has thinned out again. I'm going to schedule a consultation with Doctor True because of what I read about him on this site. I am afraid I may not have the donor hair now available for another procedure. Any feedback or words of encouragement would be appreciated.
