I was wondering if you guys could give me a ballpark as to how many HTs you think I need. I have my apointment Monday with Dr. Shapiro's office, but I was just curious.

These are from my phone so the pics are terrible. Can any of you guys give me a ballpark on how many transplants I'm looking at?

Yeah, Evil Medical School didn't cover HT! Bspot, if you are up for a beer, e-mail me. I'd like to pick your brain a bit (I won't hurt your HTs)...lots of questions.

Are you still shaving? I've tossed that around a bit too. I was in the Marines for a bit and I remember liking the 'low-drag' appearance, but I also remember scaring a lot of children too. Especially when my facial hair length exceded the hair on my head. There's a fine line between friendly eye-contact and the piercing stare of a psychopath. I'm really curious as to how many FU's I'll need. I should just say screw it and buy an rainbow-afro wig. "What this? No it's natural." Out of curiosity, did anyone else have a gutless group of friends & family that never let them know they were losing their hair? I COULD have started taking Rogane years ago if I had known it was serious.

Just wanted to drop a note and thank everyone for the great information. I had my first "consultation" scheduled with the folks at Bosley for tomorrow afternoon. Good thing I did a little internet research on them first...the best thing that can be said is that they are inconsistent at best and I'm not willing to come out of a procedure looking WORSE. I'm still new to all this stuff and in a bit of shock since I really just discovered my hair loss this past weekend. Saw a pic of myself from behind and said, "who's the bald dude...hey I have that shirt too...wait a minute, OH GOD NOOOOOOO!". I just turned 30 and I'm not comfortable enough to say, "eh, just hair.." quite yet (maybe in my 50's but I doubt it). My wife always says, "Look at Sean Connery or Bruce Willis"...I AIN'T NO SEAN CONNERY OR BRUCE WILLIS! When I have a private island to go retreat to, then I'll let the hair thing go. As luck would have it, I live in the Twin Cities and I've made an appointment with the folks at Shapiro since everyone seemed to have really good things to say about their clinic. Thanks for heading off a potential DISASTER and steering me in the right direction. I'll keep everyone posted. Thanks again.
