Regular Member PatrickBateman Posted June 1, 2013 Author Regular Member Share Posted June 1, 2013 Tell me about it --- went in looking for 3000 FUs, but donor site ended up being denser than we thought! We decided to just go with the DENSE packing and let the games begin. Back of my head hurts like hell --- but other than that went great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member PatrickBateman Posted June 1, 2013 Author Regular Member Share Posted June 1, 2013 I'll dig up some pre-op photos real quick but first, an update: Lots of trouble sleeping, REALLY tight in the donor area, gonna lend it to the fact that I should've been WAY MORE DILIGENT regarding my laxity excecises --- but hey, I gave it my best and did 30/day for about a month. No regrets here though. The pain meds help a little, but can't get more than 3 hrs sleep at a time. Not a big deal to me really --- Like I said, no regrets and will be thrilled in whenever these BADBOYS grow in! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member PatrickBateman Posted June 1, 2013 Author Regular Member Share Posted June 1, 2013 Ok some pics but first a quick history: - Started noticing loss in 2005 - Did nothing about it until 2010, when I started seeing pictures of myself thinning (first few photos). Then I started using Propecia. - Propecia stopped everything in its tracks, I even regrew hair (see last few photos) - I could actually "fake" having a full head of hair pretty well, but it took very strict instructions to my barber + VERY long "modern" comb-over + LOTS of hairspray. - I wanted to quit going on faking it. Caused a lot of anxiety and work on my end. Couldn't get it wet. Felt uncomfortable doing any activity that could/would mess it up... Enjoy (have to post pics in a few entries) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
