Senior Member Spanker Posted July 7, 2011 Senior Member Share Posted July 7, 2011 Well, I was all pumped up, really felt like it was time, and then, BAM, I am shedding like a banshee. From 20 and up to 40 in the shower, plus later in the day brushing or running my hands through. Pretty much 70 percent of the time I run my fingers thru my hair I will at least shed a hair. I brushed my hair earlier, had a white shirt on and got another 10-15 hairs off of my shoulders. It is shedding like that in the save zone badly as well. I have been on fin for 11 months. I have been shedding like this (or at least I noticed it) about 2 months ago. I have always been a heavy shedder, but it seems like much more now. I have not noticed a rapid change in my hairs appearance, but it is scarring me really bad, so I am just going to sit and wait and see what happeds for now, as I am afraid the bottom will fall out and I will be chasing my tail.

Senior Member bonkerstonker Posted July 7, 2011 Senior Member Share Posted July 7, 2011 I wouldn't worry about that geezer you're probably coming to the end of your 7 year growth cycle that's all. You're wasting too much of your life waiting, just get on with a ht if that's the plan for the future as you're likely to shed at the start of the process anyway.

Senior Member orlhair1 Posted July 7, 2011 Senior Member Share Posted July 7, 2011 Spanker, I am 3 weeks post op for my first HT. I can tell you that for me the anxiety in advance and during the thinking about it process was far worse than getting the HT or the post op. Also, my surgeon and their staff made me feel very comfortable before, during and after. Now that I had it done and am just in the waiting stage, I feel so much better.

I know I've chosen a great surgeon in Dr Rahal, but I'm having to wait till January so I can use all my vacation. The anticipation is the worst. But it's still part of the whole process so you just have to deal with it! Newhairplease!!

Senior Member TakingThePlunge Posted July 8, 2011 Senior Member Share Posted July 8, 2011 Spanker, I'm sorry to hear that. I know you've put in more time than just about anyone carefully weighing your options and covering all your bases. I know that for me the deciding factor was the realization that not going through with a hair transplant was going to leave me in limbo. I knew I would just continue to endlessly browse the forum, looking at results and hating what I saw in the mirror. Best of luck no matter what you decide!

Senior Member Spanker Posted July 8, 2011 Author Senior Member Share Posted July 8, 2011 TTP, Yeah, I know. That is kinda where I am at. I visit more now just to give input and see what is going on, as I have made all the decisions that need to be made. There is another guy with my scalp condition that is getting an HT this month so that is the only thing besides my massive recent shed is kinda making me stall. I am really interested to see if his takes as is expected. On a lighter note, I have been streaming My Name is Earl on Netflix and Tim Stacks, who plays a parody of himself on the show, has an obvious transplant and it really looks like crap. It gives me a little stall too. And on the same note, the guy who plays Earl, which has a new show called Memphis Blues, appears to have gotten some hair work done as well.

Senior Member TakingThePlunge Posted July 10, 2011 Senior Member Share Posted July 10, 2011 I always thought Jason Lee had a full head of hair myself but, as we all know, that can change quite quickly.

Senior Member bonkerstonker Posted July 10, 2011 Senior Member Share Posted July 10, 2011 It may have been he was always thining but used rugs in dogma and early films then showed the reality in earl as earl was supposed to be a scruffy redneck.
