happy for you fallenstar, look forward to some clear shots

looks good, well done, clear pics next time will help us see better though.

looking good so far, i am sure the wait will be worth it. keep us all informed

honesty is always the best policy hey richie, thank you very much for clarifying the facts surrounding your case, great to hear it from the horses mouth. shame you had to do it in the manner you did hey. i wish you well. people reading this will be able to understand it all now.

why was richie offered a discounted price to have the surgery from ??1750 to ??1500 if his interest lay with him not having surgery...??

i encourage you to read my reply: you know what i really do not give a toss anymore, done with this and this forum as its so manipulated its untrue inorder to protect possible investments. never a straight answer and always diverted away from the actual point. nice work all involved there. i thank richie and chucky who actual can see whats going on.

Bill, why do you think mick never confirmed this mistake a long time ago(given ALL the opportunity and the nature of this topic)and only confirmed the mistake after richies recent post? baldy, your tone towards me is as ever threatening, leave me alone. regardsless of the free offers for scar revision this is not what i want to do. i want fue, not strip. call me negative, make me out to be unreasonable, do whatever makes you feel better. i don't care about you or your opinion of me. this is nothing to do with you so leave me alone for once and for all.

i find this a little weird in all honesty that after all this time after all the posts and requests for answers ever since richies original post months ago which was brought back up as a reference that this is the response now.why not before...... maybe Bill will accept this and it will get brushed away or locked or baldy will pop on to say "thanks for clearing this up mick, good job" who knows, but to be honest it still doesn't ring true and still smells off... no one else smell it?? there has benn so many opportunities to clear this up that i can't quite get my head round this reply from mick... he is away again now for several weeks on "projects" so another way to hope it goes away maybe... mick called richie straight after richie posted for a start, his number... not on his chart with all his info. why so quick to say it was def fue when fue isn't offered regualry at farjo then, it still seems strange, even stranger this was not confirmed previously and more or less immediately. richie also said a number of times fue was never mentioned..... also the quote for 500 grafts was for strip then after all , but is it ethical to perform a strip now days for only 500 grafts?? Bill your thoughts on this please. This is my last post potentially on this and this forum as i already know the answer coming .... "get the broom!"

richie48, i don't know what to say other than THANK YOU for your very honest and VERY helpful post here. It has confirmed many things which i had thought. you are a true brother and i only wish more patients/posters were able to be as honest here in order to actually establish the truth about what is going on instead of trying to get blood out of a stone and deflected questions in the hope it will all go away. Bill, to my knowledge you have tried several times to asked mick mchugh to come on here and reply (be careful you might get told you are like a dog with a bone as i do) but he is obviously ignoring you,.. why? richie has quite obviously seen this topic and the frustration caused by micks actions. does he have a public answer for him? he has time to come on and post pictures in the mean time but not reply here where his response is most needed and has requested several times. you know what i do not need an answer anymore here from him as i know the answers as by him not even attempting to help and the richie post only confirms what i thought but hoped wasn't true. Bill you might actually want to look into this deeper as surely there is a bigger issue going on if you read richies posts re quotes and type of surgery offered...?! this seems to have been dismissed .. richie clearly understands my concerns about being told one thing by people and actually getting something COMPLETELY DIFFERENT!!.this is why i need answers to various questions. regardless of which clinic anyone goes to we surely have a right to ask different clinics different questions especially if they are acknowledged on here as reputable...hard to believe sometimes which ones are.... what if this was a patient whos intial consult was with shapiro, rahal, feller, hw and they all quoted something then told that patient months later ..oh actually it was for a different type of surgery that we never even spoke about at the consultation in the hope it makes the patient understand prior to exposing it on the forum...... there would be an outcry and this is the issue here.. the one that has been confirmed by the patient himself and the one that should be addressed. not here as its pointless but i think Bill you need to do more than request a reply.

yes Bill i did see you have requested a response several time also...well he did reply to a couple of questions which didn't really clarify anything to do with richie48's consultation after my initial questions and i did let that go and asked a couple of others fue questions which related to the fue procedure they (did) offer. the questions were simple and i was actually insulted by him myself as i do not appreciate being called a moaning patient as he referred to me. but i will take the higher ground in persuit of the answers to my questions here. if i did offend you mick mchugh i do apologise. i only require the answers to my fue questions and feel that it is important they are answered here as it would help make some sense out of richies consultation and my other questions here. i don;t see why they are so hard to answer. again i will stop "moaning" and wait for your reply patiently. 1. you were offering fue previously then and not long ago? why not now? 2. what were your charges for it..did you offer it at only ??3 a graft, the same price as strip? 3. do you have any fue pictures to share? 4. why did richie have no idea he was getting offered fue... do you refer to it as something else?

i agree but i think its clear they do not want to answer any questions,even simple ones, which reflect very badly on them don't you think? still waiting patiently for some answers to basic questions...... still mick mchugh still has time to post pictures though.......

i wish a uk clinic could repair me but sadly they can't even answer simple questions and just like to burry their heads in the sand on certain things which doesn't really install much confidence...does it! sad really where are you planning on getting repaired? thanks again chucky, you are a very kind poster and a great help to the forum this topic basically highlighted not only the price difference between the uk and us but the class difference more importantly. the uk has non

there is a forum i found once that just slags him off all the time but i can't remeber which one it was. it had some possesed poster called techhair or something. the forum was a good one i thought with many bitter ht veterans all slagging off their poor work and exposing bad clinics. all for that!

thank you chucky for your supportive words, much appreciated. thank you also for your pm. the transplants in the front are few and far between and not much to see there apart from a few stragglers. these can easily be hidden i believe with a little work in there. the scar is my main issue and frustrates me so much to think of the donor wasted and the large scar to show for my uk effort. thanks norton<.< <.< i really want the scar filling in with fue i do not want to risk another strip surgery especially after what happen before. i know a different top doc could do a much better scar (he would have to be on LSD to make it any worse) but i just do not want another strip. i have contacted a few leading clinics ones that offer strip and strip/fue to get opinions. a couple of clinics have kindly been in contact with me regarding free scar revision as they have read my story. i intend to try meet with one of them to discuss what could be done. some clinics have been tremendously helpful which i am very thankful for ..., some on the other hand have not been very helpful at all<.< i have never asked for free surgery once but have been offered it kindly.this has been for scar revison though but this is not what i want, i really want fue into my scar at least some anyway to test the success and break up the huge void. this is why i have tried to ask about fue mainly here. i am more than willing to travel and know i have to as no one offers fue here, not successfully anyway from what i have read. i really wish a clinic here in the uk could offer it then i could test the success of it into my scar. i will keep you informed

is that picture of a cole patient?
