Reverse the Curse

i notice a few things here that might be helpful. 1. need pics of graft placement. 2. more hair probably lost since 1st ht. fin more then likely not helping in the hairline & top front. 3. was 250 grafts placed in the left near center hairline the 2nd time? if so i agree they were needed there. 4. did he fix or improve bad scar area in the process? 5. what are the dr's limits on graft removal? 3000 or 4000+ ? if it's 3000 he probably had you pegged for 2nd ht. 6. all grafts should have been put in the front. the 600 could have done you better on top. rtc

cos do you feel that the space is from shockloss or more lost hair or lack of growth from FUE? do you feel any nubs in the area? my finger tips always could tell me when new grafts were popping. the reason you may not have heard from more dr armani patients is some may have signed agreement barring them from discussing their displeasure. it will interesting to see if anything becomes of all this or if it will just disappear into cyberspace deletion. rtc

i had my ht by the other half of H&W with dr hasson. great experience, hope these tips help. rtc BEFORE HT 1. Get a massage the night before. It's good for the mind & the back the will be sitting for hours & hours. You must remain very still for a very long period. This is my #1 tip. 2. Get a travel pillow for flight & sleeping; it's a must even if you don't travel. It will keep your head elevated from pillow while grafts are at a unsettled stage. Do a search on Google. Many airports sell them but try to get in advance. 3. Buy whatever you need before going for ht. You will not want to shop with a swollen face. The clerks may throw the milk & eggs at your 'bigface' in fear. 4. Take a sleeping pill the night before to get a good night's sleep. Your mind will not let you sleep & will be filled with many thoughts & anxieties. 5. If you can have a friend or loved one with you. It's an exhausting day & you will be better off with some to watch over you or run errands. 6. Bring a loose hat or bandana or 2 with you as spares. They could get bloody. Make sure they are new or washed you do not want to get infected. 7. See the doctor the day before surgery if possible to go over what will be done. It gives you time to think about suggestions & may save you from a hasty decision. 8. Have doctor's office wash your hair every day you are still in town. They do it best & will also see any problems that can be nipped in the bud. 9. Think of how you will be hiding ht or telling everyone about it. Have a plan for both ways as you may change your mind after procedure. I did. 10. Trim your nails before ht &/or wear socks over your hands to keep from scratching at night. i did this for about a week after surgery. 11. Make sure you get Lidocaine or something to numb for staple removal day before you leave doctors office. The only thing I could buy over the counter was very ineffective for pain. 12. Buy a soft toothbrush to keep area around staples clean. Gently get rid of any blood buildup, which will help with staple removal. 13. Do scalp exercises if you are sure you are getting HT. Start as early as possible even months in advance. Every minute you do them might mean more grafts & less tightness after surgery. 14. Keep a hat or bandana on doorknob. Nothing more embarrassing then answering the door naked headed & getting weird look from the UPS guy. 15. Get a buzzcut and/or start wearing a hat weeks before surgery. You will get all those stares & questions answered while not acting so nervous. After HT someone may pick up your body language real easy & know something is up More tips to come as I think of them.

wantego looking forward to seeing the update pics. i guess you've given up on hlh & i don't blame you. if it keeps up the way it is there will be few posters left before you know it. it's a shame because it used to be a great site. farrel gave the young armanians to much power & protected them from lms, hopeful & others. now it's come back to bite him in the ass. i hope it comes back to the way it was. only time will tell. rtc rtc

mr gq yes that is really me. i've had espn refuse to post it on my pigskin pickem page saying it was not allowed to use celebrities. i had to send other pics to prove it was me before they would allow it. did you ever get a gander at nicnitro before ht? he's my tony soprano brother in crime. rtc

joe you want i should make him an offer he can't refuse from a real H&W patient? rtc

martinnyc i'm out on long island if you ever want to meetup for a beer & talk some ht bs. i've had a ht with dr hasson & i'm happy with it. pm me with your email or phone. i don't work for any dr or clinic. sorry to hear about your results with dr armani. Bill i commend this site for giving martin a place to seek help. lms i hope your holidays were good. i see you still in there helping out. rtc

lms i need some time to sort out what the hell happened. i am very busy now trying to catch up with work. i don't want to comment until i can discuss everything after hearing both sides. if it was you who single-handyly brought down dr armani you won, we all won. i had a patient pour out his feelings over what happened to him. i won't discuss his case until he comes forward but will back him with any help if asked. rtc gotta get back to work

s i started out thinking i could hide it but realized that was going to be bear impossible to pull off. much better to tell the truth to those that matter. rtc BEFORE HT 1.
