Hi Adventureseeker ---- welcome to the forum and your first post --very nice and informative-- your story is similar to most of us really...you try everything else in desperation, before running out of road and accepting the reality of becoming a wearer...it`s a kind of `natural`progression for people with thinning hair. You`re wise not to go for any of that `surgical`stuff... I`m sure I don`t have to outline the risks / chance you take with the end-result. You are really in a good spot there in Florida----hook up with JRob and you couldn`t be in more experienced hands. Looking forward to your pics and thanks for the nice comments about the forum......best wishes, Paul.
