well, is there a possibility of cut-up proscar damaging the stomach walls..? perhaps inflammation (gastritis) or ulcers?

I was wondering for those who use proscar, when they cut it up into quarters or one-fifths, if anyone coats the pieces with a protective coating (like the one on propecia)? Perhaps there is something you can buy to coat the pills? I worry sometimes that the tablet is being dissolved in the...

Hey all, just a quick question.. For the past couple of weeks, I have been taking a proton pump inhibitor (ppi) for a stomach ulcer. I noticed that the ppi seems to have more effect without propecia. Does anybody know if these two drugs interact in some way? I'm currently off propecia and minoxidil...

Rambo I gotta say that Dr Woods is NOT A GOOD OPTION.. His track record is horrid and he charges absurd amounts of money for a insignificant amount of grafts.. Why don't you try someone like Martinik or Knudsen.. Although I've heard Martinik is a real b**ch.. Or even better, goto the US and...

Hey guys, so I got my hair transplant done.. It was ok not as much pain as I had before.. The Doctor put HEAPS of anesthetic so I was completely numb.. So, I want to ask about the whole minoxidil/dermatch after surgery thing.. How long should I wait to use and apply these things on my grafts?

so, ive made my decision.. after much thought, i'm going to do 100 fue with the doctor i have described at the end of the week as a revision from my previous procedure.. i hope im doing the right thing and the surgery produces at least decent yields..

gill, I definitely agree with you on the inexperience/incompetence of this Doctor and FUE procedures, however its impossible that absolutely no grafts will grow right? I mean, even the most inexperienced Doctor (in FUE) would at least get half of the grafts to produce growth I think...? Well, I...

Hmm... thanx gill (yet again!)... I would like to get this revision done, I think it would look much more even and natural if I did.. Right now its like theres one area of denseness and a small area where the denseness suddenly disappears.. And plus I think I would feel much better about the...

yeh i'll suck it up and take the hack job huh? no pain no gain.. the low yields for fue is getting to me..

gill, but after reading KilluMiNaTi's experience with Dr. Martinik, I am really worried about the low yields from FUE grafts... I'm still going back and forth whether to strip or FUE.. I did talk to the Doctor, but all he said was he only does FUE on exceptional circumstances.. He is mainly a...

Thanks gill again for you're response.. Well the reason for such a small procedure is that i have had a strip procedure done in the past, and this is just to fill in a small gap where there is less density (either because the Doctor put in too few grafts the last time round or i had just lost the...

I was just wondering, because I've had strip procedures done (pretty uncomfortable during the extraction, feels like a butcher hacking away), but I've never done an FUE... Also, for those who have done an FUE procedure, can you briefly describe what to expect during the surgery? Does the Doctor...

Well, although the last post by gill erred me away from FUE, I have today agreed to a small 100 FUE procedure on the left side of the hairline.. (my hairline is assymetrical).. My Doctor is pretty experienced (over 20 yrs) but I dont know how many FUE procedures he has done.. I don't know if...

Thanks gill, you're always reliable and I value your comments.. Hmm.. Well, aside from the fact that strip obviously gives more by way of quantity, I really don't see why in terms of regrowth, strip grafts and FUE grafts are not the same.. I mean, essentially both techniques use very similar...

so are you saying in terms of regrowth, fue is the same as strip?
