As far as I'm concerned I am not unhappy with my progress at this stage.
Shoudn't you change the name to Pessimist! :wink: You jug appears to be half empty!

Hey, I just tried to give me honest opinion, I don't think optimism or pessimism is relevant . I realize that there may still be more growth as it can take more than 12 months, but at 9 months I wouldn't expect a lot more hair to grow in. I think it is great that you posted pictures and I appreciate you doing so. I think that the that the same results can be viewed as poor by one person and great by another demonstrates the importance of pictures. I feel the results are poor for the number of grafts you got. I'm not saving that they are bad, just that they seem to be average or a little lower (C- range). However, I'm glad you are happy with them because that is really the most important thing! I hope you have continued growth!
maol2006 said:Good to see your progress, Carter. I suppose if I’m being honest I thought the earlier pictures were a bit thin, so it’s good that you had the more recent one to put a different perspective on things.
maol2006 said:I think you said somewhere that you’d experienced relatively recent hair loss, so there may be a bit of a “two-way street†effect. I suppose one of the ‘benefits’ of being nearly wiped out in the middle (like me) is that everything is a gain.
maol2006 said:Incidentally I’d got into my head that you’d been going for 2000 + 1500 grafts, so it seems you undershot on the first procedure and made up for it on the second?
maol2006 said:Now, I’m thinking that I might post my pictures.
maol2006 said:Hopefully I’ll be back from seeing Rogers before the end of next month. If I get him to take a set before the final op then I can have a think about approving various cropped versions of them.
maol2006 said:Also, I realise that I’ve had a go at one or two people. I didn’t come on to these boards to fight, so I’ll try to go easy on the personal digs from now on.
maol2006 said:Let’s just say that people can get on with running their own boards and it will become clear that others are acting in good faith. It’s easy to go into partisan mode and I don’t suppose that’s what the undecided lurkers, who may make up the majority of the readership, really want or need.
Keep growing!
