charlieb,
I cannot believe that after all the time you've spent on here, all the advice we gave you, and all you seem to have learned you still went to martnick for another procedure. you say that martnick has a great bedside manner but acknowledge that results are the bottom line, so how could you go back to her after your results from ht #1 were so poor? it seems you rolled the dice with this doc just because she offerred you free surgery, but you must understand by now that the cost of your precious donor hair is actually quite high.
