Curious about your "oozing" during the procedure, what was your pre-op protocol in the days leading up to surgery? Were there any instructions they provided?

Yeah, Tadalafil (Cialis) and Sildenafil (Viagra) can absolutely cause vision problems, it's a known side, unfortunately. Glad that was fixed when you stopped.

That sounds absolutely horrible, I'm sorry that you have had to deal with this but I really respect you for persevering through it. I'm not a doctor - but it looks like your hormones are at the right levels, its just your receptors were somehow "turned off" so your body can't use that testosterone floating around. I could be completely wrong though - I don't have any medical training. Curious, have you ever talked to a doctor about trying daily low-dose tadalafil (Cialis)? There is extremely limited research that have shown it to increase androgen receptors - granted this was in in vitro cells, not on a normal person and the study was limited. Again, I'm not a doctor and I'm sorry if this is against any rules on this forum, I just feel for you in your situation and trying to throw out any ideas that you might explore with a qualified medical professional (not some random HRN lurker like me). Sounds like you have tried many things, and I'm shocked TRT didn't work.

I saw your previous post, but never saw the end result, any chance you can't point me to your before/after in case I missed it? And did Dr. Arocha use ARTAS or was it manual extraction?

Just checking in on your progress amigo, how do you feel about your results so far?

Oof. Gotcha. It was a sentence among paragraphs but I see it now. I definitely wish you happy growing, like most of us we'll be following your journey and I am ~95% leaning towards Dr. Laorwong for my procedure. Thanks for the great details and inspiration.

thanks for the response, what kind of head gear did you wear when you did this (if any)?

I wish you the best and you're in good hands with Dr. Cuoto. I wish I had that appointment right now . . .

You mentioned Bangkok was hot, did that make it difficult to do anything after your procedure? Were you fairly confined to the hotel due to heat/humidity or not a big deal at all?

How long did it take your donor to recover from the shock loss?

My thoughts exactly. I want to stay somewhere until the wounds on my donor heal and the scabs on my recipient.

Did you ever go to Harmony? I am curious about them. There is another clinic in Cancun that appears to be infamous (not Harmony though) and so I can understand everyone's reservations about them. As far as Hair in 1 Day, I wasn't too impressed with their results.

Thanks for the posts and for showing your donor, any updates? @zepruska

Really great work, congrats! I hope you share the final result.

Agree with @A_4_Archan - you're going to have a lot of tiny open wounds in an area that is perfect for bacteria, no since in risking it. You can always rebuild good gut bacteria by eating a proper diet and avoiding junk.
