This is only my second post ever on this forum, but I had to reply to this. She isn't being a friend when she treats you this way. I was honestly terrified to tell my best friend that I was considering WLS because she has made remarks about people doing it in the past. I knew I had to tell her, because she does the billing for my bariatric surgeon haha and I didn't want her finding out when my account hit her desk. I was pleasantly surprised and shocked. She put aside her own feelings and has been incredibly positive and supportive, she has called me with information she has found out, calls when there are extra seminars I might be interested in, promised to sit by my bed when I am in the hospital and bring me ice chips. It is unfortunate your friend is feeling the way she is, if it makes it easier then write her a letter and let her know how badly it hurts you. It isn't fair for her to treat you this way. Good Luck on your big day! Don't let her, or anyone bring you down!

I have not had surgery, but I did fly in January and we have similar measurements. I flew Delta, same size seats, a total of 5 flights. What I found was I was far more comfortable by the window because I could lean into the window area and didn't have to worry about people walking down the middle. I was able to put the arm rests down, but didn't, I was also sitting next to a close friend so we "cuddled" I was Impressed by the flight attendants, I never felt uncomfortable asking for seat belt extenders and they always handed them to me in a way that didn't draw attention. I had 3 short flights and 2 long (6hrs each) and made sure once I was settled I would only have to get out once, in the middle to pee. I never put my tray down, utilized my friends. I did do the aisle Once and hated it.
