Guest Posted March 20, 2002 Share Posted March 20, 2002 danny you got more useful stuff than i did.all i received was the shampoo,pain and sleeping pills and pills for hick-ups which i thankfully did not get.i bought my bacitracin ointment so at least you got that.the graftcyte shampoo should only be used the first 10-14 days,then use your regular shampoo(s)the pills are helpfull the first few nights after that you shouldn't need pain and sleep pills.at your point now you shouldn't need any of the stuff he gave you. what are now 3 weeks post op.you should be feeling much better.good luck and fast healing!

Regular Member Danny Posted March 21, 2002 Author Regular Member Share Posted March 21, 2002 Figsy, Thanks you for the info. i'm now 16 post-op and still use graftcyte shampoo becasue i still have alot of scab that did not fall off. Is there a chance of damge HT hair if i kept using the graftcyte shampoo after 14 days post-op ?? Is there any way that i can do i get those scab off beside keep using this graftcyle shampoo ?? What kind of shampoo did you currently use in place of graftcyte ?? When did you begin to see your HT hair shed ?? thanks, danny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 21, 2002 Share Posted March 21, 2002 danny no, you won't do damage using the graftcyte shampoo.however you should change up your shampoo as hair will usually look better when switching shampoos.in other words when you use the same old shampoo you hair gets used to it and will look dull,and the first day with a new shampoo the hair looks vibrant and healthy again.as far as the scabs,like i said earlier i walked and jogged so the sweating helps loosen the scabs it doesn't make the grafts rise like after the shower so sweating will help. as far as shampoos,i use several and change them often so my hair doesn't get used to one.i use nizoral,various redken shampoos,nioxin,joico etc. i started shedding at about one month and looked pretty much identical to the way i did prior to the ht at about 6 weeks,although i did have some hairs that never fell out and just kept growing, but not many.your a little more than 2 weeks so your shedding will come within 1-2 more weeks. have you called dr.b with any questions about your ht worries?i'm wondering cause i never did and i'd like to know how he helped you with some of your questions in case i ever needed to phone him when and if i go back a second time.

Regular Member Danny Posted March 21, 2002 Author Regular Member Share Posted March 21, 2002 Hi figsy, I have tries to call DR B couple of time but has no luck .. alway busy.. only speak with the nurse. Are all the shampoo you mention proven to help regrowth hair ?? Do you use any drug to speed hair growth (propecia,rogain...) ?? thanks, Danny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 21, 2002 Share Posted March 21, 2002 danny i'm dissapointed to hear that you have tried to reach dr. b with no luck.after calling a couple of times with no response i would have demanded at least a phone call back,were your concerns at least answered by someone else,not that its acceptable but you did pay a lot of money you should be handled with kid gloves. realistically no shampoo is going to regrow hair so use what makes your hair look good. yes i use rogaine and propecia on blind faith cause neither one seems to do much for me.the only thing that seems to regrow any hair so far is my 1300 graft transplant.

Regular Member Danny Posted March 21, 2002 Author Regular Member Share Posted March 21, 2002 Hi figsy, Yeah, dr b has call me one the day after the sugery then that is it i never get to talk to them, but there will a saminar at in Boston this Saturday. i hope to see him that day and have him take alook at my HT hair.. by the way how long do you stay away from the sun ?? What do they mean by stay away from the sun ?? are they mean do not sit directly under sun like hang out at the beach or no sun at all ?? thanks, danny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 21, 2002 Share Posted March 21, 2002 danny when they say stay out of sun they mean direct sun in the summer months or tropical vacation sun(warm weather sun)not sun in general especially here in ny,nj, mass it's winter here now and spring is coming but this type of sun exposure is not dangerous.by the time summer comes with strong sun you will be 4-5 months post op and sun won't be a problem at that time.i guess if someone were to get an ht in june,july and august when summer heat is here it wouldn't be smart to burn in sun on the beach,but again by that time you'll be ok.

Guest Clint Posted April 1, 2002 Share Posted April 1, 2002 After I run out of Graftcyte shampoo, what type should I buy? Meaning, shouldI use a a mild shampoo and conditioner such as Johnson&Johnson for kids? When can I go back top stronger shampoo's and conditioners such as Head&Shoulders? Also, can I use conditioner at the same time that I'm using graftcyte? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
