Senior Member mgem Posted April 29, 2009 Senior Member Share Posted April 29, 2009 Hi everyone I don't know the exact graft count yet but i will give you some details of my ht experience. Flights over were ok and the andrew is a nice hotel HT day I meet DR Feller and we discuss the days events and what will be achieved by the end of it.From the way he was talking to me i could tell that the end result is as important to him as it is to me. The technicians come in and we start. The donor and recipient areas are numbed and you do feel the needles after that nothing no pain the hardest part for me was keeping still. By the end of the day i'm drained go back to the hotel and relax. Didn't get much sleep that night but i expected that. Flights home were ok but at the security check they asked me to remove my cap and i refused, they asked me why and i said it was for personal reasons and i didn't want to embarrass myself in front of everyone,it worked. Post op is ok had abit of swelling around the temples on day4 and the staples making sleeping uncomfortable, a few more days and they come out. Thanks to DR Feller and his team, spex, and for all the advice i have got of this forum. mgem My Hair Loss Website - Hair Transplant with Dr. Feller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member Acrobaz Posted April 30, 2009 Senior Member Share Posted April 30, 2009 Well done mgem. It gets easier and easier as each day passes now - it really does. 17 Feb 09 - 3,200 FUs by strip surgery (Dr Feller) My Hair Loss Website Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member mgem Posted April 30, 2009 Author Senior Member Share Posted April 30, 2009 I think it was about 1500 grafts and it was strip surgery. My wife was amazed when she saw the recipient area and then nearly passed out when she saw the back of my head lol. Everything good though, my combover is abit dodgy for now but if its good enough for donald trump it will do for me . My only real problem is my addiction to the dreaded mirrors. My dream is finally becoming a reality. Thanks again for messages mgem My Hair Loss Website - Hair Transplant with Dr. Feller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
