Thanks Cliff, that was one great read! I'm just sittin here trying not to look silly with this mile wide grin on my face, after reading some of your comments.:-) To say I feel better about all this is an understatement! You are right: You don't owe anyone any kind of explanation about what you've done. It's still your hair, you just had it moved to where it could do you more good! Take care, and I'll keep you updated. regards, Michael

Hi Cliff, Man you and I are on the same track aren't we?! You're right, the only thing that'll make us look better is the Dr Ron "special"! I'm just looking forward to the growth stage since I'm only about 7 weeks out. I still have about 40%-50% of the transplanted hair, and some are actually growing, but I'm anxious about the rest of the transplanted hair. I feel a lot better knowing that Dr Shapiro did my HT. Did all of your trasnplanted hair fall out, and how long was it before you started seeing some growth? Did you ever post any pictures? I think I may post some if I can ever get some made. Thanks for you help! Regards, Michael

Has anyone used any of the Thymuskin products that can be found on the web. They say that these products were formulated for cancer treatment patients in Germany to keep them from losing their hair during treatments, but found that it grows hair in patients. It's pretty expensive, so I would like to know if anyone has had any expeience with these products. Thanks!

Cliff, Thanks for the great news, I love hearing that kind of talk! I'm really looking forward to seeing the results down the road. The more I hear the more I know you and I picked the best we could get for our HT. That's interesting about Ron's brother, some more info I didn't know. So you must live in the "land of Ten Thousand Lakes"?! I'm in the H"eart of Dixie". Take care, and thanks!

about 5 weeks from my surgery. I sure hope things work out as well as yours seemed to have. I had 2480 fu's in my session. I too take propecia 2mg and am 48. I suppose the drug you mentioned was one for Prostrate? Does propecia do any good for the prostrate as well as hair, seems like it should since that's what it was actually made for! Good luck!

I believe I remember some time ago a Doctor on here recommending using Rogaine 2% on the recipient site for faster and better growth. Has anyone done this, and has it worked well for you? does it cause any skin peeling or any other affects? I am today a month away from my 2480 FU HT with Dr Shapiro. Everything went very well, with no swelling at all. I still have maybe 50% of the transplanted hairs. I'll try and post some pictures as things go along. Thanks!
