i think i will start from the 4th month. no chances with my hair!...

planning to enroll for a bboy class in my neighbourhood. been 3 weeks since my HT. safe enough?

so happy and relieved that i went to dr.path. he has corrected my hair plugs( which i never thought would be possible) and also has given me a great hairline. will surely update at regular intervals. glad to be part of such a wonderful and positive forum.

i think i will wait for a month before getting drunk! i think that should be good enough.

when is it safe to have alcohol and smoke a cigarette after ht?

mailed my doc about this. he's asked me to stop for a week, and then continue taking 1.25mg every other day for around 2-3weeks, if i still have side effects, he has asked to reduce the dosage to 1mg, if i still have any, he has asked me to completely stop it.

yes. no boner for the last 4days. never felt this way before. even if i want to, not able to get it. kinda bothering me.

removed my sutures on day 6. took 10 mins. most of the time painless. at times felt like a mosquito bite. donor scar healing well. i have been wearing a bandana and the head band for 6 days now. thought wearing a hat would affect the grafts. so i have not been wearing a hat since the procedure. when's the right time to wear a hat (tight grip)? and the right time to remove the head band? does the sweating which occurs inside the hat when one wears it affect the grafts?

Had my ht on the 19th of jan 2011. Started minoxidil on the 20th and proscar(1.25mg) from the 21st. having erection problems(no early morning erections and surely not as strong as it was). too early/psychological or a real side effect? Should i stop any medications?

Thank you okay2land. Will surely update.

@ rcwest. thank you for the reassuring comments. @wb280. yup. following it religiously!

First of all my gratitude to this wonderful forum. It was because of this forum that i was able to make such an important decision so quickly. and especially to wb280 and dtyn. the photo guide posted by dtyn to the clinic was extremely useful. i had got a bad hair transplant done in 2006. did absolutely no research. it was pretty bad and painful. vowed to never get one again I had no plans on getting a HT done till december 2010. i was wearing a system for 4 years. i was just browsing through in december. and stumbled upon this forum and Mr.damkerng. i was very impressed. i was happy with my system. but there were a lot of downsides to it. a hell a lot of maintenance, and indirect comments from "friends", worried about the glue coming out,diplomatic lies about my hair, in the end it was not my hair. and it does not grow. I would love to get back my hair anyday! The HT procedure went on very well. Today is the 4th day. Healing very well. Removing my head band on the 5th day. and my stitches on the 6th day. 3431 grafts and 7164 hairs in total. Doc said i had real thick hair. 1 hair 449 grafts 2 hairs 2231grafts 3 hairs 751grafts The 1st pic has the hair plugs from my 1st transplant. (front line). 3rd, 4th and 5th pics are were taken immediately after the transplant. Please do leave your comments. Thank you so much. Doc has also prescribed minoxidil 5mg tablet for my native hair. Been taking that and Finesteride 1.25mg.
