I will post pics in a few months after the grafts have started to sprout. As many people have stated before, the hardest part about the whole thing is the wait. I am super excited to see the results though.

hey dbhair, Thanks for the encouragement and the kind words. I am super excited as well, and as everybody has said, the hardest part is the wait. It has been almost 5 weeks now since my surgery and I was told it would be 3.5-4 months before I noticed anything, so I am counting down the...

Thanks for the advice techproof. It has been almost a week now and I have shampooed my head three times thus far by just patting my head and scalp. I will start a gentle shampooing in the next day or two.

And again, it was my dr.'s post-op procedure instructions that stated five days, I was just curious as to whether that was the general recommendation from all other dr.'s.

I wasnt asking when I could start scrubbing my head with a brillo pad, but when i can simply not worry about showering under the shower head and going back to my normal shampoo routine. So, with that being said, I shall wait a few weeks to be safe.

Why do I care if it is five or eight? Why do you think bro? I just dropped some fat cash and I want to make sure I don't jack anything up.

A question for you guys that have had transplants: I have read several different posts regarding how long it takes for the grafts to really take hold to where you can start shampooing normally again and not worrying about doing any damage to them. My post-op checklist says five days; however...

Thanks for the encouragement fellas. I am super excited for the results. I purchased some biosil and some hair vitamins to hopefully help expedite the process of healing. I can't wait to see the results in a few months. I am hoping to be able to put Don King to shame in six months.

Gillenator, Thanks bro for the encouragement and the advice. I will go today and buy some vitamin c. I am super excited for the months to come! I am just sucking down tons of supplements and eating fresh fruits and veggies and spraying Graftcyte as if it were going out of style. Hopefully...

Well boys, It's done. I had 2300 grafts placed. All I can say about Dr. Shapiro is that he is da' man. He was very realistic and very caring. His staff was very friendly and very helpful. You're right collegechemstudent, my hairline looks absolutely amazing right now, but I know that...

Thanks for the reply bro. I am sitting here at country inn and suites and cannot sleep for the life of me because I am nervous for tomorrow. I appreciate all of the advice. I forgot to load up on fresh fruits and veggies before I left, but i was definitely planning on it. Any in particular...

Well boys, I fly out today to Minneapolis for surgery tomorrow with Dr. Shapiro. I will be having 2500+ grafts implannted. I am crapping my pants right now as I think about it, but at the same time I am excited for the results. I have been losing my hair since I was about 18 and am now...

Gillenator, You're a stud. Thanks man. So, would you suggest getting the tricomin line of products to start using after my graftcyte spray is used up; and, is 4 days enough graftcyte spraying, or should I order more?

Gillenator, The largest portion of my hairloss is the temples; however, my frontal area too has some overall thinning. They plan on packing that area as well to make it thicker overall. I have grown out that hair to cover my bald temples; but, they are going to cut it super short to be able...

Gillenator, I was just looking online at some of the prices for the graftcyte and noticed that tricomin was also made by procyte and was about a third of the price. Would that work just as well, or is the graftcyte definitely the way to go?
