Sitting in an airplane seat with NO seat belt extender!



Recommended Posts

And the armrest easily lays down with no saddle bags overflowing in the next seat!! YAY!

I hate flying, but this really really takes some stress off. :)

SO AWESOME! I can't wait to be able to ride in a plane and not have to deal with an armrest that won't stay down.

This is great stuff...what's funny is I still approach all sitting situations strategically looking for the roomiest booth in a restaurant, the width of a seat ride at Disneyland, and of course, the dreaded plane seat...and I no longer have to worry about it! It's still programmed into my brain and it's a huge celebration every time it happens (it hasn't gotten old yet!). Congratulations!

Leaving on a short trip Monday and this is the first flight since I lost 66 lbs. will be great not to ask for a seat belt extender. I am looking forward to the flight.

I have to fly next month for the first time 3 years. I'm also really tall 6'1", so coach has always been torture for me and I will always upgrade if possible. I hope I will have a better experience and fit my wide ass in the seat! It's still tbe biggest part of me, other than my ego, and always will be!

Great post. I just flew for work last week since losing 60 pounds... I could actually cross my legs during the flight (yes, in coach!). I could put my purse under the seat in front of me and get it out during the flight with no problems. Skipping the complementary Diet Coke for Water almost brought me to tears but so did crossing my legs and I'll take those happy tears any day! Here's to a lifetime of comfortable travel. :)

      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?

        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.
