Flight back was fine. Flight there was hell - pure hell. I flew Toronto - London. Had a 12 hour layover in Heathrow but because of the lockdown in the UK, I couldn't leave the airport; otherwise, I would have to go into quarantine (this was back in October). Couldn't sleep (never can on long haulers). My flight from London - Delhi had me in the middle row, middle aisle. On top of wearing a mask, we all had to wear a really ridiculously hard plastic face shield as well plus middle row passengers were also required to wear a full plastic surgical apron. The flight was delayed by about an hour because of mechanical issues plus the flight time was extended by almost an hour since British Airways was no longer flying over Afghani airspace at the time, extending the flight path. Baby crying in seats in front of me and two rows back. Guy on my left was hacking the whole flight, guy on my right did not wear deodorant. Over 10 hours. All I kept thinking about was that it was all gonna be worth it. And, yup, it was worth every bit of unpleasantry. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member kirkland Posted February 27, 2022 Author Senior Member Share Posted February 27, 2022 I was planning to have a haircut yesterday or today but no luck - all barbers in my area were booked out. Wanted to trim my hair before taking pics. Looks like I will have to wait another day or two. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As of right now, the only person who has seen the change is my wife and she is absolutely floored by the change! My son went to S Korea last September to study - before I had the transplant - so he has not seen the real dramatic change since we text each other rather than Zoom. Although we are doing a Zoom tonight since he is leaving to Europe for a month before coming back home and I am sure that he will also be amazed. I switched up jobs in January and so my new office colleagues have no idea I was once bald. I haven't mentioned a thing since I'm just getting to know them. Because of my SMP-gone-wrong back in 2015, I began to become more withdrawn socially. It was a humiliating experience. Even more so because I was once so gregarious and dynamic. Then, with the lockdowns and social isolation over the past two years, I haven't seen some friends for a long time. I intend to change that over the coming months. I've said this before to Drs. Bansal and Sethi and some of the other wonderful guys on here - this surgery was really a life-altering experience for me. I feel like my life is coming back again. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member kirkland Posted February 27, 2022 Author Senior Member Share Posted February 27, 2022 Thanks @JC71 When I see the stories of @Gatsbyand others who have gone through dark moments dealing with the humiliation of a botched treatment, I can understand the feeling. I'm fortunate. My SMP thing was not scarring - just distracting. But I was not myself for years because of it. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of us are here “paying it back” And helping others that have gone through a poor procedure/experience. Getting your life back is a amazing feeling. Others reading your story will certainly identify with this 👍🏽 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes - this absolutely. Dr. Sethi himself is a remarkably spiritual individual who has vowed to dedicate his life to the service of others. There is a kindred spirit for those of us who have gone to Eugenix and who have interacted with Drs. Sethi and Bansal and their staff. It sets them apart and I am grateful for having known them, and others on this forum like you, @JC71, @Melvin- Moderator, @Gatsby @Zoomster @MazAB 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
