Hi. Got my 3 month update (with a couple of pics) up on my blog.

Orion - Forgot to mention my techs where Superman and the Flash. lol Actually, the procedure ended at 12:30a.m. Thanks for catching that...gonna try and correct that in my log

Thanks Orion. Just checked out your weblog. Looks like the babies are coming in nicely. Good Luck.

Thanks HK500.

Ok, i'm sure these questions have been asked before, as I have read the answers before my HT, but their harder to find now. lol Anyway, before I get to the questions I've got a suggestion to the Admin.: Maybe you could create a "sticky" area for threads about frequently asked questions. On to the questions: 1. When do you start shedding the transplanted hairs (one, two, three weeks post-op)? 2. I'm 8 days post-op, and the Dr.'s instructions were to gently start massaging the recip. area when washing to get rid of the scabs. I don't have any scabs but have what probably is dead skin as it is white. It looks like dandruff when it dry. I tried rubing it and got some off, but noticed one or two hairs attached some of this dead skin. Is this normal? 3. My scalp (recipient area) feels tight and like it's made of leather. When will it start to feel normal?

hairbank, My doner density is 85-95 and I believe the goal was to get as close as possible to that. As for the experience, i'm pretty pleased so far. Everyone at BHR made the experience worthwhile. Now I have to wait a year to see the results.

Hi again. Got my HT done on the 23rd. Created a weblog but cant get it to work with my sig. anyway here it is: http://www.hairtransplantnetwork.com/blog/home-page.asp?WebID=235

Stupid question: Why would anybody in their right mind even consider mini or micro grafts today? an ultra-refined ht is the only ht you should consider imo.

I read somewhere that the best time to take it is in the morning. Does it make a difference?

london-lad congarats on the impressive results. i'm jealous (lol) Seriously though, credit to h&w for managing these super mega sessions on a daily basis. IMO anyone high up on the NW should consider them first.

HK500 Gonna go to Dr. Bisanga (Brussels)

Bushy I think he will post a reply when he figures out how to type the r symbol (lol) Regarding dhi, about a month ago i saw an ad in the local newspaper (Kuwait) about fue available here. This was big news to me, as the only procedures being done here were strip from visiting French surgeons. At the time I was interested in going the fue route. Anyway I called the clinic (a local plactic surgeon) and scheduled a consultation. He explained that docs from DHI would be coming here to perform FUE procedures. He looked at my scalp and said that 1000 hairs would do, and that they would charge $8 per hair...yes HAIR. Since then I contacted a several well known surgeons and they all recommended 4500+ grafts. I'm scheduled for a strip procedure this month. My reservations regarding dhi are their pricing structure and the fact that they are allowing a local plastic surgeon to do consultations in their name. Had I not done any homework, I would have ended up paying $8000 for 1000 hairs. Picture that on a NW5a (LOL) my 0.02 cents

studentjay I echo the other forum members who agree with what Bill said. Would you rather have had him say?: "Wow...great job" I believe these forums should help educate people of the good and bad hts. We want to hear people's opinions. If your "prospective members" don't join because someone here is telling it like it is, then that's their problem. They have to wake up and realise that not all hts are rosy.
