turns out it was no big deal. The stiches are dissolveable they told me. No problems. I am noticing small bumps along the suture line..but they seem to be going away. I have not actually looked at the suture line to see what it looks like. Seems I did have some shock fall out by the way...

uh oh? sounds like a problem. the procedure was on JUne 26, some of the stitches have just come out themselves, no problem...no pain...at all. I will check with my doctor and post the information...once i find out. I am not in any pain now, but better safe than sorry. thanks for the...

i just presumed that i would be paying myself for propecia. If you learn to the contrary..i would love to find out. Another update...had my first post transplant haircut....and it turned out aok. The lady cutting my hair would not have known...except that the stitches in the back of my head...

:smoke: I thought of one other thing i could share...a few days before the procedure i began to think..what the f*** am i doing? I would never believe i am a a plastic surgery type guy..etc. Dont be surprised if those thoughts creep into your head, they sure did for me. So much so on the...

I think the only advice i have to offer...having just had the surgery is ask every silly question you can think of and see how patient the surgeon you consider is. My guy in tampa was great. though i waited until the time right before the surgery to ask a lot of questions ...he was still very...

yep.... :rockon: I decided yesterday afternoon i could take no more, and headed to the gym. Just rode the stationary bike for 40 minutes but what a relief it was. No problems. Good to not feel so lethargic. I am back at work today. Any advice on how long I should be sleeping at a...

Big Day 5 :smoke: all is well here. Scabs are rinising away...that started yesterday. A little quicker than i thought, and I am relived for that. I am back to work tomorrow, so it will be good to have them faded or gone. No pain at all anywhere. The graph locations are a little...

Thanks, I will keep an eye out for that. Well, today was the first day I woke up uncomfortable. Lots of itching(that is a good sign though...healing I think). My suture line is driving me a little crazy. Sleep in my recliner again so my head was elevated, but I must admit woke up feeling...

day three Eddie, the only other thing i am doing now..is taking propecia. Just started that, in hopes of avoiding a second surgery. If i can figure out how to post pictures I will. Day three after the surgery. Doing the graphcyte soaks, washing the hair 3 times a day with the special...

eddie, i just had the surgery yesterday. 1600 grafts. So far no problems. Just some scabs that will go away in time...and I have enough hair on top that you cannot really see most of them..except where i was really thin in front and temples. I took the plunge at 29. My hair loss picked...

day two - - I went back to the office where i had to work done today so they could show the proper way to shampoo and condition. No problems...very little discomort. The surgeron(Bruce Marko) stopped in to look me over, and said everything was placing nicely even overnight. The sorest...

new to the form but have been reading along Well, today i had my surgery 1600 grafts...all top of the head..to the crown. Procedure was virutally pain free(except for the first few injections). The surgeon i used was Bruce Marko with MHR in tampa. What a patient man he is...we talked for a...
