Sitting in an airplane seat with NO seat belt extender!



Recommended Posts

And the armrest easily lays down with no saddle bags overflowing in the next seat!! YAY!

I hate flying, but this really really takes some stress off. :)

SO AWESOME! I can't wait to be able to ride in a plane and not have to deal with an armrest that won't stay down.

This is great stuff...what's funny is I still approach all sitting situations strategically looking for the roomiest booth in a restaurant, the width of a seat ride at Disneyland, and of course, the dreaded plane seat...and I no longer have to worry about it! It's still programmed into my brain and it's a huge celebration every time it happens (it hasn't gotten old yet!). Congratulations!

Leaving on a short trip Monday and this is the first flight since I lost 66 lbs. will be great not to ask for a seat belt extender. I am looking forward to the flight.

I have to fly next month for the first time 3 years. I'm also really tall 6'1", so coach has always been torture for me and I will always upgrade if possible. I hope I will have a better experience and fit my wide ass in the seat! It's still tbe biggest part of me, other than my ego, and always will be!

Great post. I just flew for work last week since losing 60 pounds... I could actually cross my legs during the flight (yes, in coach!). I could put my purse under the seat in front of me and get it out during the flight with no problems. Skipping the complementary Diet Coke for Water almost brought me to tears but so did crossing my legs and I'll take those happy tears any day! Here's to a lifetime of comfortable travel. :)

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
