Hi, just thought of giving you an update, a day after the procedure. So, I'm feeling great. I'm sitting at my backyard having a cup of coffee and doing some reading, just trying to relax. But one thing I have noticed on the next day is I -- you don't want to exert yourself. As stated on the instructions that they gave us, you don't want to lift anything or any kind of physical exertion that does create pressure on the grafts and of course we wanted to take his -- the best of care of these grafts on the first few days as possible before they are fully healed and set into your scalp or on the recipients areas.

Of course, I have this on. I would say, I left the hospital with them, I can take this off today. But it was to help with -- a really pressure and maybe any excess bleeding under the curve. So well take this off. And take a look at -- take a look at some of the grafts and come closer to camera. We can see in the temple areas, I don't see any excessive swelling or anything like that. And this is what the majority of the work was done, and if you can see that on camera.

I feel like I am healing really, really well. And last night was easy. And I was sent home with a series of medications, muscle relaxer, a Vicoden as well as sleeping tablet which I did take care of -- take advantage of both last night. I slept at my bed upright with a couple of pillows and sent me home with this which is fantastic. It really, really did relieve a pressure off of the donor area location at the back of your neck, cause that is very, very sensitive today and this has helped immensely whenever I lean back. So this had helped me a lot last night. The sleeping pill did help, and I took a Vicoden just case but I don't like to use word pain, because I can't really say I am having any pain for this. Minor, minor discomfort. Again, I can't stress the insertion, as that is the only thing I say, that is only time I feel any discomfort of pain, larger discomfort of pain when I try to lift something.

It is time to take one of my daily tablets, lets say seven-day supply. But as each day goes by you take one less tablet per day. So today, we take five and one number three today, nope -- we've done that. Other than that I am just relaxing, and trying to enjoy myself. It wasn't too bad at all. So Ill check back with you in a day or so.

  • I guess U'll look a lot younger now..LOL. But yeah it sure will make you feel a lot more confident about yourself. Just one question...How much does it cost? Im not bald yet, but sure will get in about a couple of years.

  • LOL thanks.

    The pricing depends on each customer..their hair type and how much they are balding. Thats everyone's number one question and the only people who can tell you that specifically is Hair Club. If you want, I can get someone in your area to contact you about pricing.
