Nsv On The Plane Today......

  • Popular Post

Terrible photo with the iPad but look at the seatbelt! That is the excess once I pulled it in. Presurgery I was struggling to do it up and on the border of asking for an extension belt. Today, I got to tighten it. And LOOK!

  • Yaaaa! The dreaded airplane seatbelt extender! OMG- I died a little inside the first time I needed to ask for one! Congrats!

  • That's definitely on my list. I can't wait to fly to see how far I've come. The last time I flew was well before my surgery and I had to ask for an extender! That is an awful and embarrassing feelin

That's definitely on my list. I can't wait to fly to see how far I've come. The last time I flew was well before my surgery and I had to ask for an extender! That is an awful and embarrassing feeling. I said never again! A great victory for you!

I can't wait until I fly again. I was vary close in asking for an extender. Congrats on your NSV

This is one of my future NSV's. Yay you! That's awesome!

Thank you!

I fly regularly for my work and on the small planes was at the point of asking for the extension belt. On the bigger planes I could get it done up but sometimes it was a real squeeze. I had noticed it was getting easier and easier but it was only yesterday I looked at the excess belt and it sunk in.

See I forgot to measure myself presurgery. I weighed, but never measured. I wish I had done this. There was something so unexpected about looking at the inches on that belt and realising that this is what I have lost from my girth. I am certain the guy next to me was wondering why I was trying to take a photo of my lap while giggling and twittering to myself with glee!

Oh I am so happy for you!!! This is the NSV that is high on my list.. Most of the time I can't buckle the seatbelt.. I fly almost every week!! Can't wait to be on the losers bench!! 13 days to go!!!

That's one thing I'm looking forward to! Two weeks out from surgery and 34lbs down from first office visit.

Love it. I also to pictures of my seat belt tail the last time I flew 4 months post op and I can't wait to take one again the next time I fly. I didn't have to ask for an extender before but the belt had to be all the way out and some planes it was a little to tight.

Congrats!!!! It's a good feeling for sure. I flew this last weekend and had the same experience. Not only did the seat belt have extra room but the tray table didn't touch my stomach... I was amazed that there was a ton of room between me and the tray table... I thought I was flying first class!!!!!

A picture is worth a thousand words and that picture speaks volumes. Congrats to you! I can't wait to have the same nsv one day.

YES! I hadn't even realised this until I read your post. There were no tray table issues at all.

I love this sleeve.
