When does the shock loss usually happen? Luckily I haven't had any so far! Fingers crossed!

Have you checked your testosterone levels? I think the hair lose you are describing has to do with your testosterone levels. Don't panic, it can be easily fixed with your endocrinologist

T levels are in the basement.. After talking with Dr R its quite normal to have some shock loss from the scalp advance. As I have learned over the last month or so is that its temporary. Im really impressed with the hair graphing. The two techs that did the procedure were wonderful. They even embellished the cawlik that I have just offset from the center of my forehead. I have seen some other graphting work and its quite noticeable. Anyone going this route its well worth the extra graphts to fill in and make things look natural..
