I posted on here a couple weeks ago about my worries with traveling. I'm back from my trip to California and pleased to say I didn't have any troubles at all! For the first time in my adult life, I didn't need seat belt extenders on any of the flights. We walked and hiked up mountains and I was able to do it. I look at pictures and am not appalled. This surgery is the best thing that could have happened to me. On the scale, I haven't lost since Christmas. But thinking more positively, I can't think of the last time I went throughout the holiday season and on a vacation without gaining a ton of weight. So here's to committing myself to exercise and eating better in the new year. But right now, I am pretty darn happy! )

That is so wonderful. I am super happy for you!!!!! Congrats.

You go girl!! that is really exciting stuff! I havnt flow since a few months before I had surgery.....but I know when I did I spent the whole flight smashed up against the window hoping I wasn't smooshing the woman beside me or touching her..I was very close to needing an extender but luckily didnt have to, however the feeling that the arm rest has to left up because it wouldnt go down the whole way beside my thighs was embarassing enough!! Great job!!
