  1. Following your journey mate I too was there in October about 3 weeks ago!!
  2. Thanks mate..... will do another post next week, so after 4 weeks
  3. Hi guys, Thought I would post some updates as I am now 13 days post op. It seems to be healing quite well and I love the hairline. Actually quite like the look as it is! The sleeping on my back was torture as was the swelling but that is all gone now, so much happier I will post another update in a couple of weeks time (1 month post op) and try to do one each month thereafter. Of course, if anyone has any questions feel free to ask! p.s A special shout out to Ian who works with Dr Bisanga. He has been great since I 1st contacted him, probably a couple of years ago now and is always there if needed. Both him and the rest of the team were fantastic!
  4. Hi everyone, Now at 7 days post op. Sleep has been a real struggle, been getting around 3-4 hours per night. Think it a mix of my head being really itchy (although that has improved a lot yesterday / today) and also my sleep pattern is just out of sync. My adrenalin was pumping last week before the operation etc so not had a fell night sleep for a while now. Tomorrow I will start the 2nd stage of post op, and try to massage the scabs etc I am hoping that these remove by day 10 and I can get out with a cap at the weekend during the day. I also got some aloe vera gel to help with the donor for when I go to sleep. I've been out of the house once or twice per day, however this is usually when it is dark only to walk my dog. Luckily I work from home anyway lol Let me know if you have any questions.
  5. Hi Babou, Thanks for the story of your journey! Are you happy with the result so far? I was at Dr Bisanga last week so just at the beginning of my journey :)
  6. Thanks for the opinion Mike10. Im happy to give it a go and see if it makes a difference
  7. Hi mate, I'm 41 and Dr Bisanga recommends oral minoxidil
  8. Hi everyone, Been a long time viewer / user of the forum, and following my procedure on Wednesday, though it only correct I give something back to the group. I arrived in Brussels On Monday and left on Thursday. I had 2 flights each way, so that was pretty stressful with different documents / requirements etc Although I am an overthinker / worrier so that probably did not help. lol I won't bore you with info on the procedure as there has you have more than likely read it all before. But I will say, that it was actually OK and around 10-11 hours. Although I was probably asleep for around 50% of the time. I got 2,604 grafts in total 1 Follicular unit - 472 2 Follicular unit - 989 3 Follicular unit - 941 4 Follicular unit - 202 Currently, I take 0.5mg finasteride per day, but may change to 1mg 3 x per week. I also plan to start taking oral minoxidil. I will try to post when I can and answer any questions. Below is some pictures from before and some from day 1 at the hotel & 2 when I got home. I've asked the clinic for photographs too, so will post them when I get them. Now on day 3 my face looks like the Marshmallow Man, so hopefully this goes soon -
  9. Incredible result!!! Im due to go to Dr Bisanga next week, hopefully it is as good as yours
