QueenA 122 Posted July 2, 2014 Yesterday, I celebrated an amazing NSV that I know a lot of you had already experienced. The last time I had been on a plane was in February and I can never forget that trip. The seats on both flights were small and I was absolutely MISERABLE and was left with hematomas and bruises on both hips that took weeks to heal. Since then I have been dreading getting on a plane again and mind you my job requires I travel so the leave of absence was a huge blessing and I was also blessed to work from home for the last 3 years. Well yesterday was AMAZING, not only did I fit into my seat and the belt had some space after I buckled it BUT I was also able to cross my legs. No bruises nor hematomas to report! I love this weight loss journey! Good luck to ALL and happy 4th! Let's all eat sensibly :-) 10 JennAlex, BeagleLover, Teachamy and 7 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I said to my husband "holy cow I have so much room now" 1 QueenA reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

QueenA 122 Posted July 3, 2014 Awww @@proudgrammy thanks so much for the encouraging words! You are one of my inspirations :-)Indeed it felt absolutely wonderful hence more the reason why I am so glad I chose to pursue WLS despite all the naysayers. I am definitely looking to "plump" into a middle seat like you someday soon. As I walked on planes, I could tell from people's looks that they were silently hoping I would not sit next to them LOL. It feels SO good to know I don't have to deal with such stares anymore and just know that I can actually fit in the seat!!! RELIEF! 1 Texasmeg reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
