Why not rub rogaine on it? That's supposed to increase blood flow. There is a story about a guy who's scalp was to tight from MPR's and his plugs would not grow. Did you have any MPRs? the story is on this web page. He is an Bosley patient: Plugs won't grow story I don't know if it will help in anyway, but it gives you an idea of someone who had a similar problem.

You can, but it's tough. If he has good lawyers, he had you sign most of your rights away. And, in a lot of cases the best you can do is get your money back and maybe a few legal fees. Sorry but that's about it. In my opinion, the best thing to do is post his name and your pictures on-line as many places as possible. That way any person who does a search on his name has a good chance of finding out about what he did to you. Ken P.S. If you want to annoy him and try a little public embarrassment for him, take him to small claims court.

It will take you several months to realize that you may have just got it in the ass. Most people who go to bosley, no matter who the doctor is, do. You may be the exception. If you want I can e-mail you some of my e-mails from Bosley customers. I collect them. I own one of the close down Bosley websites. Knowone ever said they don't use lube when they give it to you. They can be very gentle. My understanding is you need to sue within a year from surgery. For alot of guys that's when they realize Bosley just ripped them off, too late to sue. That's why most end up at their state's attorney general's office, instead. Good luck, post pictures. P.S. You know what they say about advice? "Wisemen don't need it and fools don't heed it." P.S.S. At least you didn't go to Dr. Paul Straub. P.S.S.S. I got to tell you one more thing you should know about Bosley and his personal training. He trains his staff and doctors to recommend surgery as early as possible suggesting the minimum amount of graphs. He does this for two reason (this is documented by the California Attorney General): 1. Once they get you started, they know you won't like the work, not enough hair, and you will have to come back for more,(sounds like what they may have done to you). This is just on the initial work. Their sales people's goals are to "get you in the chair", once there it's up to the doctor to milk your wallet. 2. They know you will continue to lose hair, so once started, you will have to continually go back to them for more work. I read in one report that over a 10 year period, they were able to take this one guy for close to a $100,000. [This message was edited by Ken belanger on December 08, 2003 at 05:24 PM.]

Don't do it. Some of the worst HT's are the ones where the hairline is too low. it will really, really look bad 5 to 10 years from now.

There is a real bad one "Bosley Medical", they are a hair mill. Run don't walk, when you are near their location. The other place you need to avoid is MHR. I don't know if they are in dallas. Good Luck.

What about my other questions? Please, I really would like you input. I have nothing to gage my progress against. The doctors I talked with don't know crap. Most of them just want to find out what I am using. Your growth sounds close to mine. I beg you really. Please, please answer the other questions. I am serious. Ken See with the subject "BaldBozo" below this one.

I agree. You need to add Bosley as well.

The top of my head is growing well. It's totally filling in. I am more used to it now. That is the difference. I have moments were I even take it for granted-- then I hit myself upside the head and remember what I looked like 9 months ago. The dormant forehead follicles are growing slow, but growing. I would like them to grow quicker but I don't have control over that. If you look casually at my forehead now, you can actually see the outline of the hair line I had when I was 18. If you look real close you can see it no problem. P.S. I started putting rogaine on one side of my forehead two days ago, per arfy's suggestion. It's been two days, and it looks like the rogaine side in growing quicker. It may be wishfull thinking, time will tell. [This message was edited by Ken belanger on December 05, 2003 at 10:14 AM.]

Last week I started exercising again, about 4 times a week. The hairgrowth on my forehead has picked up over the last couple days. Still real slow, just not real, real slow. Makes me wonder if its the stuff in my blood stream that is stimulating the growth. More exercise more blood flow. Any opinions?

O.K. here is my opinion. But remember, I like coming here. This is the only forum that I do my best not offend others. My opinion may offed others sorry Here goes: ------------------------------ Knowone knows how much hair you will lose in the end. The HT won't stop your hairloss and may accelerate it. Your HT will take about a year or two to look O.K. During that time you will still lose hair. As you continue to bald, the hair on your sides get's thinner, this means your HT hair will also get thinner. As you continue to lose hair, 10 years from now, you will look a lot worse then when you started, and you will have no donor hair left. This assumes the HT doc does a good job. That's the gamble a lot of guy lose. In most cases they end up worse off then when they started. That's it.

You said any Feedback is appreciated so.... My feedback is don't do it. If you want more of this opinion, you can e-mail me at hair@ByteShark.com.** But, it looks like you will anyway. You have choosen the best good luck. **My opinion is based on my personal experience with HT, and has nothing to do with any wonder drugs I may be using.++++ ++++ Feel free to e-mail at hair@ByteShark.com if you also want my opinion on "any wonder drugs" I may be using.

What medical group is he from?

Must be a Bosley Spin off.

I think the only Doctors who would work on you would be the hair mills, like Bosley, etc.. Don't get suckered into one of the companies that need to make quota. An ethical Doctor would send you on your way. Ken
