so what the hell am i doing taking 1 a day... ...lol i think i'm going to take 1 every other day from now on...i've been on it for exactly 2 weeks so i guess not to much harm done...unless of course my body has gotten used to taking 1 a day already and needs that....which i highly doubt... ...can anybody confirm for me...thx

That is off the hinges slim!!!! Yours was the first thread that i could relate to when I started on this forum. i found one more that was posted a week or so after yours that I could really relate to... http://www.hairrestorationnetwork.com/eve/showthread.php?t=152079 I'm pretty much in this guy's category but either way yours was the first one to truly inspire me. I wasn't sure the success rate in black patients but looking at the two of you i feel a little more reassured. i'm originally from the washington dc area but I now reside in kansas city. If i was still in the area I would most definetly go to your doc but I think i found a good doc out here in Dr. Buchwach. I'm really interested to see your donor scar though....i have a feeling that being black and keeping our hair a little shorter compared to white/fine hair that it would be easier to see the scar... ...if you get a chance please post that pic... ...judging by your 6month picture you probably are long and far away from revisiting this site now that your "problem" has been resolved....i don't blame ya....but if you are still around and before you go and cornroll your hair...lol... please post that donor scar...i'm really interested in seeing a picture... ...thks in advance

wow ...this was so informative and making me 2nd guess my choice to bring my hairline down and lighly sprinkle hair where there is already some while slowly losing (i'm in very early stages age 29..n3vertex...probably end up a n5a) this is very informative for younger stages...thx for all the posts on here

Thanks for the advice...what i gathered is that Dr. B might not have the neccesary skills to do sessions over 1500...and actually he's telling me to break those down into 2 which makes it worse. I really need to consult a couple of others ...the fact that he's right down the street from me is a mega plus but like you guys said this is a big investment and it might be best to take a trip if needed...the only thing about that is...i would have to take the trip for consult and then go back again for the actual procedure...which kinda blows...but again might be worth it thanks for the advise and let me get on the horn...do you guys know exceptional ones in this area...someone recommended a doctor in Minnesota...might try him out

stumper,folica thanks for the responses i've been doing about a weeks worth of research...i've only met with Dr. Buchwach, so i probably will meet with one or two more in my area. I've heard nothing but good things about Dr. Buchwach and he seemed to be a really good guy upon meeting him. I've been a pretty good judge of character up to this point in life so .... His charge is 4200 for 1500 graph's broken up into 2 sessions with $1 for each addtional graph...so he says itwill probably be a grand total of 5000 when said and done....is this pretty fair....I know Bosley is way heftier than that... ...also why do you suppose he's only going with 1500 when i see a lot of people on here talking about "megasessions" ...my situation is very similar to this guys http://hair-restoration-info.com/eve/forums?a=displayal...deshow&x_startwith=6 i'm 29 and in the beginning stages of male pattern baldness like this gentleman I just posted....i might be slightly more severe in that you can see my pattern baldness more than his because i'm shade thinner than he is and mine is going to the crown... ...i'm at the point where people have started to notice that I will be bald like in the next 5-10 years...you can see exactly where its going to be bald....even though if I cut it down to a #1 all the way around i can easily cover it up.... ...so again i'm in the beginning stages...do you think thats why he said to go with 1500 in two sessions... and most like will i be back for more in about 10 years???....i believe the answer is yes...because even if he fills me up now i'm guessing once the others fall off i'll be right back to the stage i'm at now... ...also like the fellow that I posted up...i'm thinking about filling in my hairline about .5 to 1 inch...do you guys recommend that...i mean it looks great on the guy that i posted and my hair texture and style is similar to his but i don't know if i would get the same results thanks again in advance for your comments

I've seen plenty of positive posts that make me go "wow" and "whoa" at my keyboard...I've been on here since this weekend...i consulted with Dr. Buchwach of Kansas City on Friday the 16th and then joined the next day on the 17th. I've been in awe of the results of a lot of the HT blogs that I went through. I'm Black and have only seen a couple blogs on here but the 2 that I saw were excellent and one was identical to mine so that helped.. ...but I haven't come accross to much negativity...besides "i wish my Dr. wasn't as conservative with graft #'s" So what are the negative effects....besides of course the worst one of all ...NO HAIR GROWTH WHAT SO EVER!!! I'm sure everyone dreads that in the 3-6 month waiting process. thanks in advance for posts
