  1. Hi guys, I'm just looking for some recommendations on the above topic. To cut a long story short I have taken a 6 month sabbatical from work in order to travel around the world. I also thought it would be a good time to get a hair transplant as I'll be away from work etc. My plan was to get the transplant in the first month( FUT from a well respected doctor), then backpack for five months, and return to normal life with the transplant well on its way. In summation I had a hair transplant 6 years ago, 2400 in the frontal third. I also started on propecia. I was 85% happy with the results, I just wanted to create some density and finish off the hairline. I had another 2300 procedure 2 weeks ago into the frontal third. My plan was to keep my hair long on top and after a month everything would return to normal. What I didn't factor in was shockloss. I have almost 100% shock loss in the frontal third. I have no hair left there. I'm not going to turn this into another shockloss posting, so I will focus on what to do next. From what information I can gather the following can effect hair regrowth 1)Nutrition 2)Illness, being run down 3)Shots such as Hep B shot and Malaria pills 4)Sun( with huge variations on time lag and whether it stops growth or not) 5)Gym supplements such as Creatine, whey isolate and anabolics. Because of the above 4 first points I have abandoned my planned trip. Something I had planned for over 4 years. Devastating. I don't want to risk picking up an illness etc etc. My only goal now is to return my hair back to the way it was before I stupidly got greedy and decided to get another transplant. So I have decided to stay at home, wait it out and pray I can return to the way I was before the transplant. I reckon the only thing I can do to put in the time is work out and eat healthy. I have bought P90x( a weight lifting exercise plan) and plan to start it 1 month after my transplant. My questions are a) Is it ok to strenuously exercise( i.e body build) using something like P90x over the next 5 months. I'm not talking about going to the gym a couple of times a week for a run, I mean proper weight training everyday, combined with nutrition etc, avoiding supplements. b) Is there any other advice on things to take/ avoid over the next six months? I don't want to make the same mistakes again. I just want my old hair back. Many thanks in advance
