Day 16 Staples out, Buzzed Cut It's Christmas Eve and all I want for Christmas is my hair to grow back!  On day 14, my wife took out my staples.  On day 15, I buzzed my hair to a #3, and then thought, "Hey, I could probably get to a #2". Whooops!  Big mistake.  My scar and shock…

Dr. Jerry Wong, MD

Day 10 Scabs Coming Off The past two days I've started applying more pressure when I wash my hair (per doctors orders).  It's really freaked me out to see half the scabs that come off my head containing little pieces of hair.  Each one gives me a bit of heartache.  I bet I…

Pre Op These are some pictures Dr. Wong took just before my operation.  The pictures pack a punch in my mind...  Not sure about all you guys out there, but I'm in a bit of denial with respect to the amount of hairloss I have.  I generally don't look at my…
