Never ever do this

[fcb2001]

never get a transplant.

My cousin called me last night, the one that went to hair club and is now wearing a toupee, he signed up to have another procedure with Medical Hair Restoration, this cousin has called me an idiot for almost 6 years for me having a shaved head,
i called him a stupid fool for going to medical hair restortation, but he said that he saw an ad on television a couple weeks ago, and he called the toll free number and did a consultation with a doctor and he will have a procedure done, the doctor promised him his hair back, so he will drive about 200 miles to the office to have his procedures done, it will cost him about 15,000 dollars.
iam wondering what they will do to him.
is anyone familiar with this organization.
i only spend about 10 dollars a month maintaining my shaved head.

hey fcb2001:   i cannot believe that your cousin has been calling U an idiot 4 shaving your head.     isn't he going to spend (waste) $15,000 on a so called procedure 2 get his hair back.

please, keep us posted on your cousin's quest on wasting $15,000.

Tell him to send me the fifteen grand, I could use it to pay some bills!!

fcb, it's clear who's the idiot here.  What a shame.

Hey, send him to me I've got the best deal on a bridge he's ever seen, good traffic, nice views--great potential for future development--at least as much as his transplant fur.

Has he read the postings on SBG about guys and their experiences with transplants?   Has he looked at a picture of Joe Biden?  Or here -- have him look at this picture -- does this look natural?  http://world-pharmacy-directory.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/bad_hair_transplants-8074.jpg

You can't save all the idiots in the world.  There isn't enough time, resources, or money.   Plus they make all the rest of us look good :-)

I considered a transplant and was ready to go throgh with it at one point.  I even had the HCM meeting and "consultation"...personally I didn't have a bad experience but once I was told I wasn't a transplant candidate I skooted out of there. No way I'm wearing a glued on shag automan.   I was sooo close, I'm really glad I didn't make this mistake and your brother will regret his decision. 

...How do I add a pic to my profile?  me <---not very savvy.

I I was told I wasn't a transplant candidate .

You won the lottery, I can't remember many people who were ever honestly dealt w/ by these charlatans, no music group intended.  Count your lucky stars--and remember Sly is the only honest, risk free, and cost effective way to deal w/ mpb--all else is vanity and cr_p.

[fcb2001]

what happens at these meetings and consultations, what sort of stuff do they say.

to me it is throwing money away to go the transplant route, id never do it, my deal with mpb is no drugs, no rugs and no plugs,

he got some scarring from the transplant, he called me this morning and was screaming and yelling at me and calling me horrible names because i decided to shave my head and that he is out 15,000 dollars, that is probably why ive only seen him twice in 20 years,

are scars common for transplants
