OMW2INDIA - Surgery in 6 days with Dr Arika Bansal and Eugenix

[OMW2INDIA]

Headed to India on Tuesday to meet with Dr Arika Bansal at Eugenix in Gurugram.  A part of me wants to write a detailed backstory leading to now.  But the rest of me knows time is limited and stress level is already high.  Reasons being are multiple but primarily the obvious, an FUE procedure 6 days away for +/- 3,000 grafts.  Being needle phobic doesn't help.  I'm trusting that strong anxiety meds, regularly administered local anesthesia, along with the skill and attention of a well-reputable Dr. and support staff, should guide me to the desired end result.  Currently just taking one step at a time (pay deposit, get visa, book fight, reserve hotel, complete bloodwork, pack bags.)  By not looking too far ahead, I inch closer to a situation I have doubts I can navigate.

The info on this forum helped me arrive here.  Helped me analyze options, risks and rewards.  Seeing photos (good & bad) was valuable information and I know it takes more than time, it takes gumption.  I intend to document to the extent possible so this helpful community might benefit from my experience.  No doubt my stress level can benefit from the wisdom here and so I thank you all in advance for any support or advice.

 Tbh last year when I went to Eugenix for my repair procedure, my stress level was also high. But they did everything to make me comfortable. Don't worry, you'll be in good hands. 

Do share post op pics once your procedure is completed.

Best wishes 👍

Today's the day. Arrived last night after 18 hours of flights and a total of 36 hours of being up straight. Thought I would sleep like a rock but no. Only got 5 hours and woke up with a headache. Probably a stress headache. I will say the Westin Hotel is amazing. On par with the Four Seasons in the States. 

Really looking forward to some anti-anxiety meds sooner rather than later.

It can be hard to sleep the night before. There are too many things going through your mind. Unfortunately it's hard to sleep for a few days afterwards too. However I have always preferred to be a bit tired when I go for the procedure. I personally found that it's not a bad thing to be sort of falling asleep throughout the procedure and if you're really tired after it then it may be easier to sleep the night after the surgery. It's easier to sleep through any pain if you are just so tired you can't stay awake.

@Al - Moderatorso true I found I was so tired but its also dangerous because you are that out of it from the pain you endured n anaesthetic that you can't help but forget it's Been done after you've crashed out then move your just that slight bit too much n scrape your recipient area on rhe pillow .. or anything really

True. I guess you just can't win either way. 😔
