Fellow De Freitas patients - any advice for me 1.5 months before surgery?

[Kraki77]

Since that day is coming ever so closer I'd like to hear opinions and tips from other De Freitas patients that already went through the whole process. 

I'm planning to bring neck pillow, aloe vera shampoo and baby shampoo along with zipped hoodies and shoes without laces.

Can somebody explain the whole process in more detail from the moment that you enter the clinic until you sit down on the operating table?

It's definitely my goal to leave a full testimony here when the whole process starts.

Thank you in advance.

You're right to bring your own neck pillow for the trip. I found theirs way too soft and felt like I needed something more rigid which could keep my head from turning so I took the one in which I kept practicing for 2 weeks my sleeping positions.

I think they usually will recommend to wash the donor with baby shampoo, shoes without laces is also good.

You will usually wake up at the hotel, get the paid breakfast before departing at the cab called by the hotel which will lead you to the clinic.

Doctor will usually wet your hair, shave it, draw your hairline and discuss it with you where the grafts will take place. 

Then you will go to your waiting room and they will call you for extractions/implantations. 

Sometimes these are spaced out throughtout the day depending on how many grafts you need. I think if you usually get less number like 1000 you may be able to get away in a single day, though dont quote me on this. 

I had 2 distinct days, finished early at around 15:00 in the first day and around 21:00 in the second since there were alot much more to implant.
