Q: Overall health and transplant resuts

[Guest eyebrow]

I would imagine that many transplant patients are pretty stressed - either about the procedure or about their hair loss (maybe long term.) I'm curious about the difference in growth success rates between people who are very stressed, sedentary, drinking, smoking cigarettes, etc. vs those who go into the procedure cool, clean and actively working out, etc.

 

I know this isn't scientific since everyone's different but I think it would be interesting to hear from members about the relationship between their overall health and their transplant results ...

Definitely interesting, and i think it SHOULD make a difference, but when your post op you can't really exercise too much, aside from things like walking.

 

I've quit smoking in preparation for mine, 4 days now and my appetite is through the roof, no drinking, and have been exercising, so i hope it makes a difference!
