Just my two cents. I had my HT with Doc E in July and the results are fantastic. Completely undetectable, fantastic results. Very happy so far and the hair is still growing in. There is no better feeling than waking up, lookng in the mirror and seeing more hair than the previous day. It is just fantastic.

I had my surgery with Doc E in July. I live on Long Island and go into the city once a week. Call Roxy and ask her for my number. I'll be happy to talk or meet with you.

PS I had about 360 FU's done

Philly: I just wanted to add my 2 cents re Dr. Epstein. I am about 12 weeks post surgery and the hair is growing in fast and furious. I had the same excellent experience with Dr. E as the other posters. I am in NY and was not impressed with anyone here. I was able to arrange my schedule to have almost 3 weeks off after surgery. I would say that by day 10 I would have been fine to go back. I debated for a long time whether or not to do the HT but I am very glad I did. I don't think you will find anyone better than Dr. E. The hairlines on his web site are amazing. I flew to Miami to meet Dr. E and some patients before I signed up despite phone consults. The patients all looked great. He and his staff are very professional. Just do it. No need to look further that Dr. E

A lot of posters use Nioxin. Whatr is it, what does it do, what are the pros and cons of this stuff?

I had a HT with Dr. E in July. I am only 6 weeks out so I cannnot discuss results. I can tell you that he and his staff are very professional and my experience with him was most positive. Ask him for a list of references in your area. Call them and meet them. I did my homework and was very comfortable with Dr. E when I decided to go ahead. I also flew down for a consultation to meet him personally before doing my HT. I figured the procedure costs so much, whats a few hundred and a day to meet him first. Do a search on my name to read more. Good luck

I would check with Jeff Epstein in Miami

We love you fedup, but your photos do not do your HT justice. I could not find the latest one. I'm one month out with Dr. E and waiting for some action.

One month post HT there are little bumps on my scalp whre each FU was inserted. Do these eventually go away, or are they just hidden when the hair grows in?

How long does it usually take for the shock loss hair to grow back if it is going to regrow?

I am almost 3 weeks post of from 3400 FU grafts

My crusts are off and a lot of the transplanted hairs have fallen out. I had a pretty tan head before the HT to minimize the red skin. All the red is gone annd my bald head is very white. How long after the HT can sone head tanning begin safely?

Like JC said, at this point all I have is 3600 holes in my head and the memory of having been treated very well and very professionally by Dr. Epstein and his staff. When the hair starts to grow in I will he happy to post my pics. To post the usual 5 day scab picture is not helpful to anyone.

My error in listing the price. It did seem like a good price though. My read of the product is that it is MSM crystals in a capsule. Why is that less effective than MSM crystals out of the capsule?

PS I want to thank everyone on this board who posts and responded to my earlier posts. The info I got from this board was invaluable in my going ahead with a HT. My decision to consider a HR begain in Feb while watching an infomercial by Elliott and True. I had a consult Although I was not impressed with him, it began my research which let me to this board. Thank you all again.

I wanted to share my excellent expeerience with Dr. Jeff Epstein in Miami. I know most of this board is devoted to singing the praises of HW, but I'll go ahead anyway. I encourage anyone considering a HT to consider Dr. Epstein. I had a phone conuslt with him and immediately liked the guy. He is personable and has very good credentials. All of that means crap if his work is poor. I agonized about going to HW or Epstein. In the end I went to each of their web sites and printed out all of the photos of their work, labeled the backs of the pictures and mixed them up. I then picked out what I thought were the best ones and they were evenly mixed HW and Epstein. To my wife they all looked the same, but then again, she was not the hairline connesieur that I had become. I spoke to patients of both docs, all of whom were very happy. I still was not convinced so I flew from NY to Miami and meet with Epstein and saw a number of his patients, one of whom was a plastic surgeon. That guy, and all of Epstein's patients looked great so I booked my appointment. My experience with my surgery was exceptional. I had 3600 grafts in July. Only a little discomfort during the injections. The staff was excellent, very nice, very comforting. He gave me valium and Ambien, so I snoozed for most of the 7 hours of the procedure. No post op pain, some swelling so I got a headband and diuretic. So far the scabs are gone and the sutures are out. I will post some photos when the hair grows in. I had no doubt in my mind that HW would have done an excellent job. I did not want my head shaved as HW does, although I would have done that if it was essential to a good job. I would have travelled to Vancouver for my surgery but I am glad I did not have to. I would have had surgery in Canada although I am glad I was able to stay in the US as I know its medical and legal systems although I would have travelled to Canada if it was essential to getting a good result. In short, anyone considering a HT should give serious consideration to Dr. Epstein. Realise that HW was a powerful PR machine that posts on this and other boards, and readers begin to feel that HW is the only place they can go to get a good job. I am sure they do a great job, but so does Dr. Epstein. Do what I did with the pictures and you will see that their results are equivalent. Anyone with questions is free to email me. Dr. Epstein is a first rate professional with a great staff and his results are outstanding.

I had been buying my MSM at GNC at about $17 for 300 1000mg caps. There is a web site called iherb that has them for around $8 for the same amount. Just a tip to pass along

I am getting ready for my first haircut after HT. The top is cut pretty short and the sides are longish. Most hair places are wide open with no privacy. I am looking for a place with cubicles or some other form of privacy so that I can talk with the stylist without the whole shop knowing my business. Any suggestions?

I had my transplant on thursday. No pain, but the itching from the donor site is a killer. Any suggestions to reduce it. Also, how many nights do you need to sleep upright. I am wearing a headband and taking a water pill. No regrets, I'm lovin it.
