I'm sitting on a plane right now. I looked at the narrow seats, I ALWAYS have to lift the armrest to fit and ask for a seatbelt extension. I was so worried because this plane is packed. Anyway I fit in the seat and was able to buckle my seatbelt without an extension! Does that count as a Non Surgical Victory? I'm so excited and I just can't hide it!! This may seem minor to someone else but I actually have years in my eyes. I have not been able to sit in a regular airline seat for over 26 years!

I love it love it love it!!!! Congrats to you, that is on my bucket list, is to fit into a plane seat without my bottom end spilling over into the next seat or the arm rest having to be lifted up. So happy for you and safe travels.

Fantastic NSV and congratulations.

Just one small thing - NSV stands for Non scale Victory i.e. The wins we Celebrate that aren't about the numbers on the scale.

That is a spectacular NSV. I experienced the same thing when I flew last month. It's not minor at all, it's a massive success. Congrats!

Thanks everyone, when I got off the plane my son said right away that he could definitely see a weight loss in me so that made my NSV even sweeter!

THAT TOTALLY COUNTS!!! That was one of my absolutely favorite moments of my life - getting on an airplane and actually tightening the belt! Good for you!!! Sing it from the mountain tops!

      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?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
