We just got back from our trip to Disneyworld: I had posted that I was scared that they would make me get another seat: well, that wasnt even an issue: the arm seats went down no problem, I didnt need an extension this time and I was even able to really tighten the belt. I also only got stuck once the whole trip! It was very enlightening to see the different choices that I make with the band: I would have eaten soooo badly if not for my new BFF!

Thanks for all of your tips and encouragement!

I am taking a long trip to Europe. I just had my first fill and I'm leaving next Friday. Did you notice a difference in the band while you were flying? I, too, am worried about the seat thing. I've lost 23 lbs but it's not enough to eliminate the extension. I've very concerned about flying.

That's wonderful!!! Congratulations!

I'm scared to death myself. I'm flying out Monday to San Diego for a conference. I haven't flown in 5 years and although I've never had to use a seat belt extender, I'm scared I will now.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
