Also, I have a question, my right side seems to be a bit behind- a little thinner than the other, any1 else have a similar experience?

Hi guys thanks for the warm welcome! anderson- i respect your concerns. Guys, we ALL know how this industry is! But surely if youve been around long enough, you would know dr feller is one of the good guys. Im not sure how I can convince you I am not a "made up" patient? You are welcome to pm me, and ill give you my contact details. My browser seems to crash when i try to post pics? is there a limit to the size of pics you can post here?? very excited to show you chaps a very fuzzy rec. area!

Hmm I have to be off now, but stay tuned for more pictures...

Haha hey spex, yup its me! Good Grief I hope I dont have to hold up My ID again!

Hi guys Well most of you probably dont know me, as I was on another site until recently, but decided to post here now. For a few years Ive been looking into having a transplant, and after much debate, decided to go for Dr feller. I had my op done in December 2008, and am now at about the 3 month mark. To be honest, the whole process was pretty easy going! As you can see, my hair loss wasnt too bad to begin with though. I started taking propecia a while back, and thankfully, my hairloss was stopped at that point. I stayed at the Days Inn in New York-very near the airport, and a nice small hotel with friendly staff. I left very early that day to get to the Docs office-I wasnt sure how bad traffic would be. The day went by easily for me- but not so easy for Dr Fellers staff, as I was one of the harder FUE cases, but true to his work, Dr Feller got about 1400 grafts out of me that day. Being a Doctor myself, I was very impressed with his skill and his staff. They really are fantastic, and do their best to put you at ease. Honestly, I'm not just saying this! The flight home was ok, most of my journey was spent in a fitfull sleep. I took a month off work, which was really overkill- 2 weeks would have done the trick! I was very careful with my head for a while, and had baths instead of showers, and never touched the area. Within 10 days the redness was all but gone- and here I have an interesting find: Distilled witch hazel really works! How can I prove it? Well I decided to put it to the test, and only dabbed on the stuff in the front portion, but left some areas alone. Sure enough, in a week of application, the areas i left alone were visibly more red than the areas I treated! will put up some pics, see for yourself! After about 2 weeks, the grafts started to shed. My God I got the fright of my life- I dont know why, since I knew they would come out eventually, but let me tell you, nothing prepares you for waking up and seeing them on your pillow! They look very strange too. So all in all, after 3 weeks, I was pretty much back to square one! I lookied much the same as I did before the op! Very little shock loss, actually, not even sure if I had any! But I guess everyone is different. I got back to work, and no one guessed anything! The Donor area grew back and looks untouched. I am now at 3 months, and will put up my latest pics. Things are beginning to happen now, and i look rather furry in the areas where the grafts were placed. My hairdresser is very confused! hahaha if only she knew... Please feel free to ask any questions, and comments good or bad are welcome... Good Luck to you all if you are taking the leap!
