SMG IN LONDON - MARCH '09

[Ron Shapiro MD]

It looks like most of the details are hammered out for our visit to London.

I'm looking forward to meeting those who can make it.

Thanks BM for giving us the opportunity to post our announcment here. Janna tells me we've gotten good response from it.

Best wishes,

Dr. Ron

Thanks Dr Shapiro,its a pleasure to announce it on here.

I look forward to meeting you again and meeting many others who will be attending.

All good.

It's not the foreign doctors that need regulating, it's the doctors within the UK that need the regulation their bloody useless.

 

[Bigmac]

Who`s buying the beers.

 

[bullitnut]

who ever gets there last)(_::

 

[Bigmac]

Well hopefully your flight will be delayed bn.hehe.

You`ll be :'#G:: when you get my bar bill.

 

[janna]

Don't worry, SMG will be picking up the bar tab but if I see anyone start dancing on the tables, you're cut off!!! ))N_)

I'm very excited for my trip to Europe - I hope London will greet us with sunshine its so famous for.

NO DANCING ON THE TABLES...

Well... I guess that means no shandy for me then ;ss;

 

[janna]

We might have to make an exception for you.

Heck, we'll just claim you're not with our group. In fact, bring your g-string along and we'll say you're a one man show with the Chippendale's. I'll bring my one pound bills. Whoot, whoot. Z:BZ:BZ:BZ:B

I had a good chat with everyone who turned up and a couple of guys have said they will document their HT journeys on the forum.

[Bigmac]

Glad your car was still there Tim.

No worries BN,You were missed but other circumstances had to take priority for you.

Hopefully next time.

 

[Masher]

Yo dudes, good to meet up with some of you and put faces to names!Janna was so sweat and welcoming and Sir Ron was honest, passionate and a real gent-for the short time I was there and the hassle of driving through London, it was well worth the effort.
I race bikes and for me its the equivalent of meeting up for a chat with Lance Armstrong-how on earth could you turn down an opportunity like that!

Hi Guys,

London trip was waaaaaay better and went more smoothly than I expected. From the lovely weather to all the guys showing up and on time was fantastic. Sorry for a bit of confusion with the clinic location. The clinic needs a better outdoor sign. I had no idea it was tucked way in the court like that. Anyway, 2 days in london to meet everyone was not enough. It would have been nice to do a bit of sightseeing but I can't complain. We really enjoyed ourselves and couldn't have asked for nicer guys to meet face to face.

Hope you all had a safe and pleasant journey back home.

We missed you BN. Great seeing you Tim, Bigmac, Masher,Peachy and everyone else - and Baldspot - you're the sweetest, thanks again!!!!

Cheers!!!!!!

 

[Peachy]

Janna, just wanted to say a big thank you to Dr Ron and yourself. Great to see you both and have the opportunity to gather a bit more information from one of the top Doc's in the field. Sorry I was a bit late and sweating but I now know the Kings Rd really really well! Anyway would you pass on my gratitude to Dr Ron please, thanks.

Also it was a bonus meeting Bigmac, Masher and Andrew. Wasn't expecting that but good to chat with you guys for a while. Bigmac, sorry I couldn't take you up on the beer, but the clock was ticking on the darn parking. Next time for sure though. And as promised will be more active with the posts rather than being a free loader in the background.

Mash and joy or feedback with the body hair question?

Peachy.

 

[Bigmac]

Good to meet you Masher although briefly.

Thanks Janna it was good seeing you and Dr Ron.

Peachy good to see you too,bunch of balding guys hanging out,all good.

Hope i get the chance to have a few beers with you and the other guys sometime.

Baldspot and i went to the pub,good to meet you at last baldspot.

 

[Masher]

You dudes, true twas good to talk- yep I did put the question to big Ron and he said it was an area he was seriously looking in to-he was thinking along opposite lines to me though-his view was use all your donor supply up then as a last resort go to BH. The growth rates are different and apparently they can stay dormant for longer so you can go through cycles of looking thinner and thicker.
He did say it was a procedure he could well be doing before the end of the year though-one thing is for sure if/when he does he will know all there is to know about it and then he will be the one that takes it to the next level IMHO- he is always striving for perfection which is why he is the best.
Worth nursing my gorilla type fur for a couple of years longer I reckon!I shall be scheduling a procedure with Sir Ron for later this year as without doubt Ron is the ONE for me! lol

[Baldspot]

I really enjoyed meeting you guys on Monday. The whole 'getting across London thing' was a tad stressful (and thankfully I didn't have a car to try and park.) But well worth it to talk things over with Dr Ron and Janna.

Janna's lovely, as you all know, and it was nice to meet her in person - just don't ask her to call you on her U.S. phone as it just makes funny bleeping sounds. :T:

I'm counting the days down till I'm in the chair for my first procedure with Dr Ron - 13th April. Apart from the usual nerves I'm kinda keen to get started. I'll post an update on the forum once I'm done and have gotten my act together.

How you feeling now Big Mac? You looked quite pale at the price you'd had to pay in London for a pasty (just for Janna - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cornish_pasty) although it's a Bridie where I am. Talking of prices I did notice a bar charging £6.70 for a Gin and Tonic. It's enough to cause shockloss...

Awww, thanks. I got the idea but I appreciate the visual just the same. That is a steep charge for a drink but it was higher at the hotel I was staying. The exchange is a little better than in the past but it's still $1.40+ to either pound or euro. Well, what's money amongst friends.
