I just thought of something? What if I need 2 seats? I'm 5'9, 285 lbs. Maybe I should just have extra money just to be safe.

I was bigger than you for sure and I traveled in one seat. If you're worried, ask the flight attendant for a seat belt extender when you board. Good luck!

I fit in one seat at 5'5'' and 285 with both arm rests down and no seat belt extender. I think you should be fine.

You mean travelling to Mexico? I would always suggest you travel with a card, or traveler's checks internationally!!!! and know where your nearest kiosk is, too.

yayayay! making plans! :)

I recently traveled Southwest, 5'6" 295lbs and fit fine and no seat belt extender needed. But as mentioned above, better safe than sorry. Good luck!

If you're still concerned, you can check the seat width for your specific plane type on seatguru.com

      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.
