I'm scheduled to see Dr. Feller is less than two weeks. I've been following this forum for quite some time and was hoping for some advice on pre-HT things to purchase. My list thus far:

-Roller Pillow
-Aloe Vera (not sure what kind)
-Witch Hazel (from Spex - Is it avail in the US?)
-soft bristle tooth brush - to clean staples
-VICODIN
-Omegas (any recommendations?)

Any other recommendations? I've been on propecia for about 3 mos, but not yet using the foam. I will start that after the HT. I'm going in for about 3,000 grafts.

Hey, your list looks good, though I would add:

*disposable shirt
*massage day before (there is a good, rather inexpensive, place across the street from one of the hotels which Feller recommends...I forget the name of the hotel, incidentaly)
*loose-fitting hat

Anyways, get a "pure" aloe vera product, as opposed to a product that just contains a bit of aloe; and witch hazel is def available in most US stores/pharmacies.

Congrats on your decision!

Thanks for the reply. What's considered a loose-fitting hat? My fitted hats are size 7 1/2. Should I not get a fitted hat and just get one of the traditional caps which are adjustable?

"Should I not get a fitted hat and just get one of the traditional caps which are adjustable?"

Exactly. The key is to make sure the hat is NOT snug at all; also, you may want to consider a bandana in liu of a hat.
