Some quick questions??¦??¦ 1. One thing that concerns me is the trip back home. I will have some long travel time. (Vancouver back to Kentucky). I wonder what is the best option as far as protection of my new graphs. I will have a fairly large session (hope in the neighborhood of 4,500, but would love/take as many as possible) so I'm afraid that some hats could damage the graphs. I will be traveling home the day after my surgery and need some input. I have a bucket hat that I am planning on wearing, but have considered not wearing anything? Heck I don't really know the best option??¦??¦. (Got to get some gel packs) 2. What did you guys do during your early down time? I plan on staying in the house for about 7 days??¦.. Glad I have this option, but I will be bored to death. I like to golf, work out, hang w/ friends??”all of which will be on the back burner for a while??¦??¦. Not to mention the fact that my kid will want to wrestle, tackle, and act like fool. That will be tough??¦??¦.. 3. For those that went to Hasson and Wong??¦??¦ What did you do the day/s before? I'm taking the wife for some site seeing, etc. Figure we will never have the chance/reason to go back to Vancouver and wanted to take it all in. We love to travel??¦??¦. We are arriving on Monday (Early, so an extra day)??¦.. Pre-op on Tuesday??¦??¦ Operation on Wednesday??¦. Flight home on Thursday??¦. I know that I am rambling, but I'm excited about the trip and surgery....... I plan on posting my experience thing go??¦??¦??¦ Head out Monday and Operation on Wednesday. Thanks for any input!

Dakota, Thanks for the kind words! I just don't like the shaved head look. Any time I see a picture of myself, it's just not me. Or atleast what I think is me..... Leeson, Thanks for the heads up..... Bill, Thanks for the site, etc. Without it a guy like me can't find all the infomation to make a informed decision. It's a great tool and I hope to stay on here to help the next guy with their decision. Invalueable tool!!!!!!

Talked with Christina and Mike both last night for about a total of one hour. They filled me in on some questions, and concerns that I had. I have to say that they have been very prompt in any e-mails and/or phone calls that I have sent them. The day grows closer (Pun intended).......

Tos7581, Doing scalp Exercises about 30 minutes a day for the past two months..... Hope that it is helping things! Comb, I will try to get as many as possible. My job allows for some down time, so I will have time to recover, and I hope to get the coverage I am looking for in one procedure. Really want to thank everyone for the input! I'm sure that over the next couple of months I will live on this site looking for answers, etc.

I've been lurking around everyday for the past few weeks thinking about my upcoming procedure, and I am currently two weeks from my surgery. I have to say that H&W have responded pretty much instantly to any e-mails/questions that have run thru my mind. I updated my hairblog w/ more pre-op pictures and would love any comments/questions that you can give. May 20th with Wong. Expect in the neighborhood of 4,500 graphs. I've been pretty regular with scalp exercises and hope that helps. Thanks ahead of time!

Thanks for the comment on my head, and I'm somewhat happy w/ the shaved head look, but in all honesty I just don't think it's me. I keep myself in descent shape, live life young at heart and I really think that it's something I want to do.......

Should I take pictures of myself when I had more hair than I do now? I ask because I have seen it mentioned in some of the post. Should I take pictures of my fathers hair loss? We are pretty much at the same place w/ our hair loss. He lost his at the same time I did and now looks much the same as I do. Just wondering if this would effect anything? I leave 2 weeks from today and can't wait! Starting to get a few pregame nerves, but I assume that is normal. Thanks for any and all input!

I also put some more thought into the distribution of my graphs and wanted some more input...... A majority in the front 2/3, but with some (I don't know what some is) in the crown so that it's not totally w/o hair. This incase I don't want/decide to go back for antother session. Thoughts? Thanks!

Not much to say other than I'm counting down the days until I get "started" on the process. Try to stay on top of my scalp exercises and letting my hair grow out, both are annoying a times. 1 month until my HT.

I have started growing my hair out as well, which I hope will show a little more than what it looks like I have from these picture. I acutally grew it out about 2 1/2 years ago and had some hair on top. (Just some). The more I think about things I believe coverage in the front 2/3 of my head would be better and then a trip back if I feel it's needed. I'm going to get my plane tickets sometime this week, so thing actually are moving along. Long way from home for the surgery, but I feel that I am in great hands and don't want to risk anything over something like travel.

lovestospoon, That does make a lot of sense. I actually used a concealer the last time I grew my hair with some success. That was about 2 years ago.... Question: How can I tell if I have good laxity? I have been pretty aggresive with my scalp exercises, but have no idea what is considered tight, good, great..... Thanks again! This site is so valuable to newbie like me.

Thanks everyone! Eman, Not 100% sure about my/our plan of attack right now. I really would like to just have one procedure, but not sure how I will feel once the first one is done.... I don' really want to total forget about he crown in this tranplant. I don't like the look of totally loading the front 2/3 and none in the back, but at the same time I'm not sure I will recieve the coverage I'm looking for if we spread it out. Input on this from anyone? Thanks again!

Hey Guys! I have been lurking around the web-site for a while, but this is my first actual post. I have created a webblog and hope to keep it up to date as I go thru the process. It was such a huge help for me! I'm scheduled w/ Wong on May 20th, 2009. (6:15 a.m.) They project in the neighborhood of 4,000--4,500 graphs. I hope to work on the scalp exercises and steal a few more. Please take a minute and look at my blog and take a guess as to what I can expect. Keep in mind that I have had my head shaved for a while now and as my hair grows I will post some more pictures. Any and all input is welcomed...... Thanks!
