Hey Squatch, cant avoid the mirror.. haha. I am in the same boat. Had my procedure with Dr. Gabel on Oct 29th. I am at a point where the crusting is almost gone and my last few soaks did nothing more than left a bunch of hair in the bathtub. Guess the shedding has begun! I am unable to figure out how to start a new thread (maybe i am missing something while trying to post from my iPad). Anyway looking forward to the next few months. Would love to stay in touch. -Raj

Hello, do you still have the laser cap? - thanks raj

Hi Alban, did you hear back more about capilllus? I got a HT last week and am looking to buy one myself. I don't know much about it yet but recently started looking into it .-thanks Raj

Well said. Being an engineer myself I agree with ur sentiment about machines. Haha.

Lack of a scar at the donor area seems like an only advantage to me since is am most likely going to need 3000+ grafts. So strip method only.

Thanks for the speedy response. I have read nothing but good things about Dr. Gabel. Always good to hear it one more time. There is a 'new' place in the town I am in. The place uses neograft and flies in an experienced technician. Did you ever come across a similar option or look into neograft? -thanks Raj

Hi Bruce, rather new to this. You were my 1st read and i must say i am impressed. I do have a consulation with Dr. Gabel soon. Anxious and apprehensive I am not from Portland and my major most (bad english. haha) question is how much of an issue would it be for me to be not physically in portland for post op? Do you think that could have been a negative? not being able to see Dr.Gabel for teh 7/8 day appointment?

Secondly 4351 grafts seem like a lot.I have been hearing that around 3000 grafts is all most surgeons recommend. guessing 1 graft equals 2 hair. Sorry if these are basic questions. Just dipping my toe in the HT world. -Thanks Raj
