Marks and Spencer

Transplant done lads.

Was benzo’d up the whole time so the 8 hours went by super fast and the procedure wasn’t bad at all. 1500 grafts in total and the doctors were spot on.

Feeling a bit ropey now and won’t be going outside for a while but here goes nothing.

Will report back on progress in case any fuks are interested.
Turn 30 later this month and hopefully I’ll have a decent hairline back chuffed all in all

good luck Nige.

Nice one Nige. On a related self improvement flex, I'm thinking about having laser surgery, anyone had their eyes done?

close friend has had theirs done. the perception i had for laser eye was that you go in, spend 10 mins in the appt, come out and you have 20/20 vision. reality is similar to that, but its more 30 mins in the appt (which is painless), and your eyes are v sensitive to light for say 24 hours, and then when you see lights in low light they're blurry for a few weeks. also a bit more aftercare than i thought, you gotta make sure they're not dry so eyedrops every hour for a few days, turning to every morning and evening after a month.
Overall, zero regrets on the op as eyesight is miles better, but would argue its not 20/20 in low light (I can read stuff they can't at times but note its only been 2 or so months) and not as instantaneous as I had thought.

give me a PM if you have any questions and can pass them on for you

If its the actual operation you've got concerns about I'd say it seemed to be the easiest part of it all. You don't feel or see a thing, as they put drops in that blur it all out anyway.

Disclaimer - friend did SMILE that is slightly different than LASIK.

Thanks all for the words. I got mine done at a well known clinic in NYC. Not cheap. I’ll pm details.

Ismvil - I know a few people who did laser eye surgery who all recommended it, there’s just some aftercare to consider.

Do you not get on with contacts? There’s some really good daily’s you can get now which are super comfortable and don’t irritate your eyes at all. You can just bin them at night and reach for a fresh pair in the morning so no hassle with cleaning them and using cases etc.

My Brother is off to Istanbul to get a hair transplant this month. I hope it doesn't end in tears.
Seriously thinking of getting my teeth done if I can commit to quitting smoking.

Ah shit yea, important detail.

But what do you spend on contacts and glasses in that time? Yes you could get cheap ones but 3 pairs of decent specs + 20 a month on contacts is 3k or so over 10 years.
