Hey guys - I had day 1 with Hasson & Team and it was a success, albeit 11.5 hours but no way i would f' around with rushing with any step so I'm glad it felt like everyone was taking their time in the right ways.

I'm going to start a proper post with my journey but thanks for everyone's support & encouragement, it definitely helped!!!   I had my own unique experience with the anesthesia but overall was nothing to worry about or prevent you from having a HT.

Attaching a teaser of my before and after.  I'm focusing on rebuilding my hairline and mid-scalp, filling in everything else with topics/oral minox.  I'll post my new in the next few days.

@JohnnySins - I'll be with Hasson on 15th & 16th so hope to run into you.  I'll post some pics asap so everyone can follow along with my journey!

My surgeon used jet injectors (needle less anaesthesia) which felt like a mosquito bite....i,don't know what dr hason uses for that....but whatever it is ,it will not be unbearable one and you don't need to be anxious about that brother...and best of luck for your surgery ..will be waiting to see your thread about your experience ....

@A_4_Archan I've heard that product takes nearly all the pain out of it, that's incredible you had that option.  Hopefully, by the time I get a 2nd HT, they are available to me.  Thanks for the reply! 

@Chrisno - that is absolutely wonderful news.  I'm really excited, just getting the pre-op jitters but thank you for the encouragement!

Hi everyone - I finally made the commitment to have a transplant with Dr. Hasson next week, August 15th & 16th; I'm well prepared and researched, and have all the assurances from patients and the clinic, feel really good up till this point . . . but still experiencing fear around the anesthetic piece.  I have no problem with needles at the Dentist, in my arm, Botox, but perhaps because this is all new to me, it's the unknown that's causing my anxiety? 

I plan on posting my experience on here, before/after pics, but was looking for some more information/experience around the anesthesia piece from the community to hopefully quell my anxiety.  It's been a rollercoaster this last week as I prep to leave.   

I've scoured the forums looking for as much information as I could find, seems to be a spectrum of experiences.  Any advise, sharing would be really appreciated!
