NSV: no seatbelt extender needed!



Recommended Posts

I have been visiting family the past two weeks and haven't been able to post (they still have dialup and I'm impatient). For the first time in over five years, I was able to get on the plane, sit down and buckle the belt, without requiring a seatbelt extender!!! I am so happy!

That is so awesome. I am looking forward to that NSV myself. I can report that my wedding ring is sliding on and off again with relative ease. It was just swollen around my finger. Not bad for being banded less than a month. :thumbup: You Go Girl!!! Keep it up. I hope to follow you soon.

I am flying coach for the first time in 5 years on Wednesday. I've dropped 125 pounds since last time. I hope all of me stays in my seat now. :thumbup:

Isn't it a great feeling?!

I never had to use a seatbelt extender, although I was on my way there. I think the last time I had been in an airplane, the seatbelt was pretty tight/uncomfortable. And that wasn't even at my highest weight!

Flew this past weekend and the seatbelt had like 4 inches of slack. Felt great not to have to loosen it all the way!

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?
