Senior Member Capelli11 Posted December 6, 2011 Author Senior Member Share Posted December 6, 2011 Hey everyone...I'm now at Foxbar...must say place is really nice...very cozy...I am here with one guy from Australia and one from London...both of which are HT pros as they each had over 2 procedures with Dr. Rahal. So I had my pre HT meeting with Dr. Rahal...I had a consult with him in person before...signed my consent...boy that was scary to say the least...the stuff in any consent form is crazy let alone this one...but it is what it is. I met with him and I wanted to talk about the hairline but he said it was better if we did that tomorrow (i.e. to draw it on me) which makes sense I guess...but I was obviously nervous so we talked for a bit about what I was looking for so that there would not be any surprises come tomorrow...he showed me some more results..results that were never posted before....man...unbelievable...typical Rahal results...great hairlines. So that pumped me up and he is very confident too which is great to see. He said we will go over everything tomorrow and won't proceed until I am comfortable with everything which put me at ease somewhat. So I am now hangin at Foxbar...I will do a full detail write up about the place and now seeing the place what I could pass on to future patients (i.e. what to expect and what to bring,etc). Little nervous but I guess this is normal. Hopefully I'm ok tomorrow that I can keep you guys posted. Thanks again for everyone's well wishes and good luck remarks...much appreciated!!! -HT with Dr. Rahal- December 2011- 4,616 grafts FUT Check out my website updates: http://www.hairtransplantnetwork.com/blog/home-page.asp?WebID=2225 My HT write up: http://www.hairrestorationnetwork.com/eve/164084-my-hair-transplant-dr-rahal-4-600-fut-write-up-pics.html My FOXBAR write up: http://www.hairrestorationnetwork.com/eve/164085-my-foxbar-write-up-dr-rahal-4-600-fut.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member Levrais Posted December 6, 2011 Senior Member Share Posted December 6, 2011 Capelli, It's normal to be nervous and asking yourself if you're really going to do this. Things will settle down once you get in the chair and especially when the meds kick in, lol. As for the hairline drawing, make sure you get what you like but keep in mind that the doc has seen and drawn more hairlines in the last year than most of us will see in a life time. He can help you decide and will know what is likely to look good on you. you're in good hands from what I've seen. Looking forward to your write up tomorrow. 5700 FUE in 3 procedures with Dr. Bisanga View my patient website: http://www.hairtransplantnetwork.com/blog/home-page.asp?WebID=1874 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is company here...it is always booked pretty much. House is really nice...like a bed and breakfast. I am still on the fence about shaving down though...don't know which way i should go...gonna be a game time decision i guess...see what Rahal says is best. -HT with Dr. Rahal- December 2011- 4,616 grafts FUT Check out my website updates: http://www.hairtransplantnetwork.com/blog/home-page.asp?WebID=2225 My HT write up: http://www.hairrestorationnetwork.com/eve/164084-my-hair-transplant-dr-rahal-4-600-fut-write-up-pics.html My FOXBAR write up: http://www.hairrestorationnetwork.com/eve/164085-my-foxbar-write-up-dr-rahal-4-600-fut.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member NeedAdjusting Posted December 7, 2011 Regular Member Share Posted December 7, 2011 Good luck man. The Foxbar is surely packed in advance, gonna be there in Jan from 2nd till 7th then gonna have to move to a hotel coz its already booked, then I'm gonna move back to the foxbar on the 12th till the 17th when I get my sutures removed, wish I could stay there the entire duration, those recliners seem to be essential for smoothing the recovery. Any reco's on ottawa hotels? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
