mid life crisis

labrat69, I was unable to upload more than one pic when I posted. I have significant thinning on the crown, the mid area between the forehead and crown is OK.

I am very near confirming an appointment with Dr. Paul Shapiro, Minneapolis, for my first hair transplant surgery. Based on their estimates over the phone, they are planning to transplant 3000-4000 graphs. I have attached photos of what I look like now. I have started the stretching exercises to help with elasticity. Is there anything else (other than letting my hair grow longer in the back) that I should be doing between now and my surgery in early February to make the procedure as successful as possible? Hope I am doing the right thing!
