First Flight without a Seatbelt Extension!



Recommended Posts

Just spent an awesome week in Hawaii and although it was filled with many special times, I have to say that not having to ask the flight attendant for a seatbelt extension was a huge HIGHLIGHT! It was also great to be on a plane and not worry about spilling over onto my neighbor's space. :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :)

That is wonderful! I fly several times a month and am looking forward to the time when I take up less space! Was actually going to go to Hawaii on vacation but instead using that time for surgery! Hoping that when I do finally book a trip the Hawaii, I'll feel great about a week at the beach.

That is so awesome! Congratulations!!! I love hearing stories like this. :) My last trip was to Jamiaca and I had a terrible flight!!!!! I have another flight to Orlando coming up in February. Feeling pretty confident I will not need a seat belt extender this time.

Thanks to everyone for their kind words... the weight loss came to a halt (self-imposed) over the holidays and this flight experience and your encouragement has motivated me to rev things up again...already down 2 pounds since Friday!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
