Awesome for you. A lot of people just don't realize how important simple things like that are to people who can't do it.

Isn't that fun??? I did that a couple weeks ago too!! Just sat right down and buckled it with about a six inch tail left over!! THEN for the crowning achievement.....I went back and used the airplane BATHROOM!!! Oh yes I did! I squeezed my 278 lbs boootay right in there!! LOL :lol:

I am flying in the morning and I am so nervous I bought my own seatbelt extender! I flew a few months ago and there was no way I could buckle. 40 lbs down I am not sure. I carry the majority of my weight in my behind! Can't wait for the day when I won't have to worry about things like this :)

Whoop Whoop! I can't wait for that NSV after years of squeezing into seats with metal jabbing me everywhere. Isn't it funny how bathroom stalls seem to be bigger now?!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
