FINALLY Got It Done!

I have been wanting to do this procedure for such a long time. I noticed hair loss in the front around my edges just before getting pregnant with my last child who is 4 now. I used to do micro-braids, tight ponytails and til this day wigs. I doubt my wigs played a role except for the custom made ones. I've researched this procedure for years and wanted to do it but didn't know if it made sense to pay the amount for it. I started to use rogaine, castor oil and any new concoction I would find on instagram, YouTube or whatever. It is the worst feeling not having the front of your hair and trying to cover it up or hide it. It was the worst. E dry style had to be made different just for me. My sew ins had to be customized it's the worst. I decided that I want it more than anything else and so I made my investment. I saw an African dr in NY that was doing it. I was excited cuz she looked and sounded very knowledgeable on the YouTube video I watched. The girl was very happy for her progress now and in the future. That's when I first learned about this type of surgery. Problem is she is booked months in advance...I made an appt for a consultation and by the time I was ready to go I relocated to Florida. I kept searching and saw Tonya's surgery. I watched all of her updates and kept watching everyone that involved a woman and her edges and honestly there were so much that my interest kept growing. I contacted Jerry and spoke Wright him multiple times for almost a year. I and on real self and read reviews here and decided to go for it. My dr was Dr Siegel because he was a little less than Dr Huebner and since I was able to see and hear of his procedures as well I was confident I would be fine. I did a consultation with him via FaceTime and asked a billion questions and he was just like Jerry. Patient and answered everyone.

Let's fast forward to surgery. I was given a bunch of instructions that I obviously didn't listen to. I had a red bull the morning of because I flew in from my vacation and then drove hours to get to the office. I was exhausted.. I texted Jerry 5 am while I was driving and told him that it stated not to drink or eat certain things and I did and he called me soon as the text went through assuring me that everything would be ok. I got to the office and met everyone who was very nice to me, the office was clean and it was just a great environment . First thing we did was take pics and then draw out the front area. After that dr Siegel shaved the donor area in the back. I honestly will say the WORST part bout the whole thing was the anesthesia. OMG!!!! that pain is real. I watched Netflix during the procedure , they fed me whatever I requested. I ended up falling asleep and by the time I was up it was all over.

My surgery took about 6 hours or less. I was done around 3 ish. Surgery was 7/25. I slept ok last night all though I had to sleep at a 45degree angle still not bad. The worst part now is having to walk around without hiding my head from the world. Was told not to put anything on it or cover up til after 3 days. I'll post pics
