- by Dr. Jones  Hello, It's hard to believe that it was a week ago today that I was sitting comfortably in the chair having these follicles inserted into my head. Most of the crusts are gone now and I'm anxious to have the stitches out. I think I'll wait till wednesday, I usually suggest to patients 9 or 10 days. The recipient site has been itchy as the last few crusts come off, Dr.J 2 comments - Day 8

- by Dr. Jones I am now 6 days post-op. About 80% of the crusts are off and the donor site is itchy, I'm anxoius to get the stitched out. I will probably have them out Wen. The donor site was closed with 3-0 proline. I think this is better than staples. We used the tricho closure described in my first newsletter. I'll be providing a photo of my scar a few months post-op. I will buzz my hair down to a #2 or #3 so everyone can get a good look. In my office I am the only one that performs fue. I use assistants to help remove the grafts, But I'm the only person that uses the punch in the extraction process. I am going to try a 12k run today, along with a yoga for 45 minutes. Again, I'm truly amazed at how little this procedure interferes with my life. Dr.J 0 comments - day 7

- by Dr. Jones  Hello again, I just got back from a 20k run, felt amazing. Hard to believe I'm 5 days post-op. We were out last nite and without mentioning it, no one would have known I had the procedure done. I put toppik on the recipient and a bit of prothick on the donor. About half of my crusts are off already. I am going under the shower about 3 times per day. They will all be gone by monday, a week post-op. Hope to do a 12k tomorrow, Stay tuned, Dr.J 0 comments - Day 6

- by Dr. Jones No photo today, it hasn't changed much from yesterday. I had a great day, ran a 10 k, had lots of spring in my legs. I also did a half hour of stretching. I'm going to try a 20k on the weekend. I let the shower go directly on my head this morning. We have a rainforest shower with very little pressure so it felt great to feel the water run over the crusts for a few minutes. I'm really excited to see my new hair come in, I can't wait. A few people have asked why strip and not fue (follicular unit extraction). I already have a scar, it doesn't bother me. I often buzz to a number 3 and you can't see it. As well, I don't have anyone in the office trained to do fue (other than myself), so I would have had to go to another office to get it - I didn't want to do that. Stay tuned, I'll take some photos for tomorrow, Dr.J 4 comments - Day 5

- by Dr. Jones I am now 72 hours post-op. I had a good sleep last night, and plan a slow 10 km jog today and a few Yoga stretches. Thanks for the link to Baron Baptiste by the poster, it looks interesting. I included a photo of the donor scar as requested. This strip was taken from the left side. Four years ago I had one taken from the right, I can hardly find the scar now. I had about 4 beer last night during poker, and lost $38. The big winner was my buddy Neil, he won over $100! I'm doing a transplant on a fellow tomorrow that has agreed to be my second blogger, we will have daily photos of his transplant on line. I give a bit of a discount to patients that are willing to post their pics along with comments, so if any of the readers don't mind having their pictures on line, then let me know, Dr. Robert Jones

- by Dr. Jones I have had several people ask me "who did your transplant". I had a friend cut the donor strip, and had my staff do the rest, including the recipient sites. Several of my staff have been doing hair transplants for 10 or more years and I have complete faith in their skills. I am very fortunate to have an amazing group of people working for me with incredible technical skills and expertise. I am back in the office today doing one small procedure, Wish me luck playing poker tonight, I think I'm ready for a couple of beer! Dr. Robert Jones

- by Dr. Jones I had a good nights sleep last nite, we put a long acting anesthetic in before the patient leaves, so he has no pain the first day. I have taken no pain killers, not even tylenol. The pictures show that the procedure is getting more difficult to detect, even this soon post-op. I am doing the Big Sur Marathon on April 30th (my 5th marathon), so I hope to resume training today with a 10 km walk. I won't be able to resume my running until the weekend. I also do Yoga, and did some yoga stretches last night, all in an upright position, and will try to continue this every day till early next week when I will start the inverted postures. I resumed sexual activity this morning at 6 am! I haven't turned it down in 29 years of marriage so I wasn't going to start today. I am in the office today seeing patients, no procedures, just consultations. I will start doing procedures again tomorrow, I will update at 48 hours, Dr. Robert Jones
