WORTH IT
Just had surgery on Feb 27. I'm posting this 3 days later on March 2. So far recovery is going smooth. No surprises! The operation was closer to 12 hours, but the experience was super quick, looking back at it. The staff, movie selection, and food accommodations certainly eased the process.
They managed to pull 2250 grafts via FUE, and distribute over 2/3 to the front and the remainder to my crown.
The procedure was practically painless, the most uncomfortable parts were the way had to sit a few times during the surgery and sleeping a bit upright the 1st night. There was also a light constriction around my head, which went away the next day. Otherwise, they applied the appropriate amounts of medication/ local anesthetic so that there was 0 pain on my head while the process was being done.
Today I feel pretty good, scalp is a little itchy. It hurts a little to scrub my head with the special shampoo & brush. I had a follow up the next day, so they can thoroughly clean my scalp since I'm an amateur. I'll also have a 10 day follow up, followed by 1 month, 3, 6, 9, and 1 year. =)
I will keep everyone updated through out this next year.

Wow, you must be excited to see the results! I'm sure it's going to look great.
So what was the competition you won?
March 8, 2015
Extremely! It was for Dr. Mohebi of Los Angeles. I am starring in a documentary/serving as the spokesperson for hair loss. This is the video I submitted that won:

Nice job! Hopefully, you and I will be seeing some positive signs in the next 6 months

The video is brilliant- no wonder you won the competition! Good for you for being so open and honest about how hairloss has affected you.
I'm pretty excited for you, actually. Having gone through it 14 months ago, I'm now getting really happy with the result. And by the looks of things you're a better candidate than me.
Are you taking propecia/finasteride or rogaine?

Dude! Congrats! Looking forward to seeing your progress - especially now that you're a fellow Parsa Mohebi alum with me. :) Really great to hear that the experience was positive for you.

Patrick when did you go back to everyday life without it being noticable that you had the procedure done?

I was fortunate enough to be able to wear a hat to work for the first 4-6 weeks after the procedure, so I didn't have to worry about it that aspect of it. So cosmetically speaking, it took a little bit. However physically speaking, I was back to work within a few days of surgery. I had my surgery on a Thursday and was back to work by Tuesday. I believe it was then around the 6 week mark when the redness in the recipient area had decreased enough that I felt comfortable not wearing the hat.

So this is my post op- survival bag. It's all pretty self explanatory. I was especially fond of the neck pillow.

Hi Everyone,
So attached you'll see a picture of me this Summer in Israel. As you can see... Wow.
It's been truly incredible to go for a haircut time and time again, and feel younger after every cut. My self confidence has definitely been getting up there lately.
I still have some work to go because there wasn't enough grafts to completely make my hair full. However, Dr. Mohebi is a hair genius, and strategically worked with what we had this session to create the illusion that it's full. :)
I plan on doing another FUE come end of this year. Of course, going with Dr. Mohebi again. And looking forward to achieving Justin Bieber Scalp Status!
If you have any questions, please ask!
