Hi Everyone, I want to say thanks to everyone out there. This really is an incredible forum with allot of great support. I've decided to hold off doing anything for at least a couple years and see if any kind of medical break through comes along or maybe even something that will take some of the risk out of my transplant. You've all been great! Thanks so much.

LMS- Thanks Man. What you are saying is what part of me feels. The other part feels like this is really screwed and I should be able to do something about it. Anyways- buzzed from cocktailing in the jacuzzi with my family. Try to jump on the wife and call it a night. OUT!

Hi, I tried to post pics but way exceeded the allotment. Balody is on the money here. At my age I would just would like to look my best. The impasse I am at is I don't want to go on Propecia yet and my biggest fear is that I bald past the donor area- then I'm completely screwed. I have had consultations with Matt Zuppan at Dr. Shapiro's office- super impressed. The other doctor I saw in person was really unimpressive. I emailed my photos to H&W also but have not spoken with them yet. This site is really awesome, great support! Thanks.

What a story Dalew. My Dad and I were driving from Los Angeles to Phoenix a few years ago- we're talking and he said to me "Man, I dont know why you dont do something about your hair, you would be a good looking guy if you had hair". It's just a killer that sticks with you. I think women smell it also, it's that confidence that just isn't there. I'm married and don't care all that much, just not cool to deal with.

Hi, This is my first post. I've been reading the postings for a few months now. My brief story is that I started losing my hair at age 20 or so. I married at 23 to a beautiful woman- we have two awesome girls going on 15 years of marriage. I have a great job, I'm addicted to the gym like allot of guys on here although I dont look like it all that much. I'm in great shape but not a big guy. So, I'm 38 - I'm thinking I really want to look my best. My question is - Am I going to make a big mistake that I can't take back? My case is so bad that I dont have much donor hair - 4,000 grafts at the most, probably more like 3,500 I've been told. My risk is that I continue balding past the donor scar and then I have to live with that. Not crazy about going on propecia at my age. I've beeb shaving my head for the past 12 years and I could really live with that, but I just have a hard time believing that more can't be done. I empathize with the single guys out there that have my same problem. I notice the way an attractive woman will not react the same way to me as to someone who does have hair. It's really pretty silly, but it's just the way it is- it hurts. Any thoughts out there? Anyone who is a 7 that's had an HT?
