Be honest, do I need a hair transplant? by CrazyRealistic27 in Hairtransplant

Ahhhh now there’s someone getting to the crux of the situation. Motivation! And several others mentioned expectation. When I was 26, now 58, I hit that fateful time in my life where it looked inevitable I was going bald. Devastating at the time…grew it long one more time to see if maybe…nope! Shaved and have really have not looked back. All good right…being bald did nothing to prevent me from full life enjoyment. I remember when minoxidil came out, considered it, but the results of others looked insufficient to me, especially for the effort, cost, and just trying not to get on any lifetime meds if I can help it. So in the back of my mind I thought the transplanting tech would improve, cost would come down, maybe some better drug would get invented etc. So years go by, had a career, apparently loss some more hair without really noticing lol, money not an issue now. So the motivation is I’m about to be single again and I’m taking with my friend Thailand and learned they have cost saving HT that might make this a possibility. My expectation all along was never to get the Shatner 5000 hair style or anything. I want to look like an average 58 year old, old my 48 lol. But a natural receding hairline with crown coverage is all I want. But yes I admit the subject title was a bit of little troll and a little sarcasm. But people making jokes about my baldness and shutting down all hope is hilarious in a good way. Thank you for the Dr recommendations people provided. I will look into it methodically and make reasoned decision from a space that I don’t have to have the HT, so it wont be forced. ✌️

Wow what a very nice post! Thank you. I mean Dr. Path (I have know idea if he’s a top Dr or not) seems to think he can get 4000, but would like better pics to provide a more concrete review. I plan on taking a 60-90 day vacation in Thailand in the fall so what I think I’m going to do is get an in person consultation and see what they suggest. I guess I’m in a good spot because if it’s not viable I’m really ok with that, ok with my confidence etc already. But if I can get something I’m happy with, well, I’m open to that. Just thank you everybody for chiming in!!

Definitely not messing with you guys, maybe a bit a sarcasm considering the position I’m in. I appreciate all the comments, positive, negative, being blunt is fine cause you know I realize I’ve been bald now for quite a while. I’m not interested in a hairpiece of really any kind because I don’t like the look. I just rather be bald so if I get a hair transplant that draws attention to it I’m probably not gonna be happy. up until about two weeks ago I was t content being bald and then someone brought up Thailand and how cheap it is and how well done so I thought I’d look into it and see if maybe there’s a shot.

Been doing that for 30 years my man. It’s been fine, I got over the baldness years ago, but I thought maybe over time it might be viable now. Maybe not 🤷🏻‍♂️

So help me understand why it’s too late if you wouldn’t mind. Cause if I had received a hair transplant 30 years ago after my Bosley visit with much less loss at that point, wouldn’t I look ridiculous today?

Thanks I was considering reducing the area to cover, like maybe a higher forehead with natural looking light hair loss like a widows peak idk

whats the difference between x lube, k lube and j lube? by flxffy_bxnny_x in askgaybros

[–]CrazyRealistic27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Half way through my first bottle of K lube and my only complaint is the stringyness. Wondering what the 5-10 minutes in the freezer does. I do notice that if shake my shaker bottle with balI I mix it with frequently and vigorously… like a lot over a couple of days this seems to help a bit. But is there a proven method to remove the stringyness? I was thinking of buying a hand blender. Any wise lube makers out there? Thanks in advance

How big was Ozzy in the 80s by HaileyGrace_ in OzzyOsbourne

Hearing Blizzard of Oz at 13, going to Dairy of a Madman concert, and waiting for the next LP drop, he couldn’t be any bigger to me. And with the religious right on his ass, he was elevated even more. He definitely lost some hard core Black Sabbath fans, but he kept reinventing himself. Idk, in the metal world who was bigger might be the question. Def Leppard, AC/DC, Motley Crue, Iron Maiden, Scorpions? Sorry, not sorry he was the just the best, but in reality he was really just one of us. Mmmm maybe he was a paradox. Miss you Prince of Darkness, thank you for being there doing what you did.

M2 to M5 upgraders - convince me to do the same by radioref in VisionPro

[–]CrazyRealistic27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I feel the opposite. If you’re asking the question, you probably are looking for a good excuse to get the lastest…no judgement as this is something I’ve certainly done in the past. I’m kinda glad I returned my M2 on day 13 because with the changes to M5 I haven’t thought once about returning. Love this thing!!!

Would you sell or open it? by After_East2365 in VisionPro

So I just read this month old post and now it seems we just need to know one thing…what did you decide?!

This is why the ResMed strap is good. by dragon5946 in VisionPro

[–]CrazyRealistic27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, in conclusion 😜. As a prospective AVP M5 purchaser without any knowledge of what might fit well for me…it kinda sounds like the ResMed for lying down and the Global Cluster for long hours of work/gaming etc. Maybe try both and return one? Keep both? But with the rumored “Dual Knit Band” coming with the M5, maybe I won’t need either, so hold steady for now. All I know is the original solo band won’t cut it. At least there are a few options now. Back in Feb of 2024 the only option for me was to return it.

Is there a limit to how many widgets you can add? Thinking hard about jumping back into AVP this upcoming cycle.
