Ha, I thought someone might pick up on it, but maybe not point it out! We just grew apart to be honest. Both very different people with different outlooks on life. She was great for me around that time no doubt, but it was for the best as things were going south for a while. Thanks for the 'small detail'.

Hey, hope the thread was of use! Yeah, sorry, I've been shocking for updates from 15+ months on. I'm at the 2.5 year mark in a week so I will definitely get some up this time. Everything is going great. It's funny that you should ask for an update tonight. I've just come home from the gym and had a text from my girlfriend with the following message (this is not a joke ) "Hey, Mike (her brother, 26) wants to know what your hair regimen is. No joke......he thinks your hair is class. I apologise for this but he nags me a lot Like what shampoo etc" Had to laugh when I read it, and that actually prompted me to log onto the site a few hours ago to check in on things. I'm also 2 weeks away from making my first job switch in a decade! I'm joining one of the big IT companies in a software sales role. I can safely say I would not have built up the confidence in myself to have progressed in my career the way I have over the past 2 years. It genuinely has made an incredibly significant role in so many important aspects of life. Pics to follow in a few days!

Enjoying life is right mate. Wow.....In my own head I thought it may have been only a couple of months since I've last posted.......well I'm now over a month past the 2 year mark! I'll get pics on soon guys. Life has been pretty busy to say the least.It really is amazing to think of the amount of time I used to spend pre HT worrying about how my head looked and used to time the weather in terms of time spent outdoors. Now it's a case of realising that there is so much more to worry about once you've addressed your hair issues! Things are looking great. You know things must have worked out ok when you have mates who are usually pretting cutting when it comes to remarks to each other about physical appearance, joke about your perfect hair. And have your girlfriend (who is currently unaware I have ever had any work done) comment about how lucky I am at 32 to have such hair, and that her 26 year old brothers ask her what products I use as they are worried about their loss!

Wow, I just got an email notification tonight about a posting on here and I've only just realised how long it's been since I've updated! I've just gone over the 18 month mark. I will DEFINITELY post pics this weekend. Steve to be fair had asked and I said I would a month or so ago but again I never got round to it. I'm in a great place mate. To give you an example......i'm at the age of 32, and I have a girlfriend who has told me out of the blue on several occasions that I have great hair. I don't actually recall ever being told that in my teens or twenties. I've had many other people complement over the past 6-9 months as well. If you have any questions just ask away though......happy to help if I can.

You're welcome! All looks good buzzcut. That's a significant amount of grafts you've had so I'd expect a dramatic change for the positive for you. I'll be posting my 17 month update soon but needless to say i'm in a good place.

Thanks Yonex. I've just hit 17 months and I'm absolutely delighted with the results. Any visit to the clinic this year / next will likely just be for consultation / additional PRP treatment, but as of right now i've a full head of hair so fingers crossed it stays that way for years to come! I'll be updating my actual results thread shortly.

Glad it helped! There was no charge for any of the consultations I attended.

Stinger mate.......thrilled to see you're out the other side of this! I've had a crazy few months offline so haven't been on at all really......but everything looks great mate! This is the start of a new chapter for you. Like you said, the next 2 months will be non-events. You timed it brilliantly though, who cares about Jan/Feb/March anyway? You'll be in for a fun summer! I'll be updating my own thread shortly with my 17 month progress, but all I'll say for now is that this whole thing has been the single best decision I've ever made and have been thrilled with results. You seemed to have been in a very positive frame of mind since the day you landed in Brussels which is great because it only gets better from here on. If you're already getting compliments you'll be laughing in 2016!

Fully agree with this suggestion.

Thanks guys. Yeah I'd highly recommend BHR FC......and they have a particularly good track record for repair cases too. Hard to believe i'm a little over a week away from my 12 month mark. Continues to get better too......i'll be updating with pics when I hit it. I've just returned from Ibiza and for the first time in 6-7 years......I spent my entire time NOT thinking about how my hair looked at all. I've always used sun holidays as a barometer of where I was at.......and from mid twenties on it you could see the slight drop in quality of my hair from pics. It's hard to put into words how much of a relief it is to not care about how your hair looks in the water/wind etc anymore!

Thanks hsrp. Ya I'm still on the regimen that's in my signature below......haven't really noticed any sides or shedding to be honest!

Cheers Stinger. 6 months away from your own Op......that's the long part! It will be all uphill from there though!

As you probably know if you've looked at my sig.....I've been to one of them and have had a very positive experience, and I've also visited other docs for consultations in Belgium and was highly impressed. The customer service I had from my own clinic was also exceptionally good, I'd struggle to see how they could improve it such is the system they have in place.

Sorry to hear that Treaduk. I'm 10 months post op myself and can only imagine how going backwards must feel after such a long journey. Have you consulted with other Belgian clinics or even the Turkish ones? Just curious as to why you think stateside seems to be your only option.
