One trick to getting the Proscar 1/2's into the pill cutter straight is to use tweezers with skinny tips. It's easier to line them up correctly and works well. Miles

As others have written, Pat, thanks for your hard work! I think the fact that there are only 25 (at this time) coalition surgeons on this site speaks for itself. If Pat was greedy and in this only for the money, more than likely there would hundreds of "recommended" surgeons. Thanks again Pat! Miles

Thanks everyone for the advice/feedback. If/when I get a 3rd procedure done, I will certainly post pics and results (this time with immediate post-op pics). I called the office and apparently they took some post-op pics and will e-mail them to me so I can post them. Also, Pat asked about hair count: HT #1: 1's - 299 2's - 610 3's-4's - 1138 (mostly 4's per the office) Total - 5786 (I took 3's-4's X 3.75 for an estimate since most were 4's) HT #2: 1's - 113 2's - 356 3's-4's - 954 (again, mostly 4's) Total - 4402 Grand Total - 10,188 hairs They didn't have the exact numbers of 3's and 4's separately, but this is probably a pretty good estimate. NN - I will post some wet-hair pics of my scar area (covered and uncovered) as soon as I can get my wife to take them. She thinks I'm obsessed with my hair now, and she's right!! Miles

Thanks for the feedback. I was pretty shocked/disappointed when I looked at the overhead shot. At least not many people can see the top of my head when I'm standing! I was thinking about another HT to cover the crown and more of the top. NervousNelly had suggested and egg sized patch of FU just behind the hairline for more density. Any more thoughts? Miles

NHG Any doctor can prescribe it (not just HT docs). Try to find a sympathetic family practitioner or internist. It's always good to have a primary care doctor for other medical problems anyway. Good luck!

Thanks Pat, Your programmer did contact me and the problem has been resolved. I will probably be able to get me pics in by Thurs. or Fri. I will try to get hair counts, too. I have a follow-up appointment April 26, but I will try to contact the clinic for the info sooner. Thanks again for your help with the weblog.

Thanks Hairbank, I'll try that.

Bobbysand, It would be better to stock up on your meds (any meds) before you leave. If you have refills on them, most pharmacies will give you a "vacation override" so you have enough until you return. Hairbank is right, in fact prescriptions are usually not even transferrable from one state to another unless those states have agreements with one another. Milesdaily

Hi, I'm new here, although I've had two HT's so far. Didn't know about this forum prior. I'm having a problem creating a weblog. I click on the link in my e-mail and get transferred to a page with an error report on it: ADODB.Field error '800a0bcd' Either BOF or EOF is true, or the current record has been deleted. Requseted operation requires a current record. /blog/verify.asp, line 124 I have no idea what this means. I would like to recommend Drs. Martin Tessler and Leonard and James Aronovitz in Southfield, MI. I realize, however, that I need some before and after photos to back up my recommendation. I have had 2 HT's with them: 1st was 8-23-05 - 2047 grafts, 2nd was 4-20-06 - 1423 grafts. I couldn't be happier with the results. I'm thinking about getting one more HT to help cover my "bald spot" on the crown more. Any help creating a weblog would be appreciated. Thanks!
