@@Thucydides: Good luck with your upcoming surgery. It's been one of the best decisions I've made and I wish I had done it much sooner. I'm down to 225 now and just feel so much better. I'm hoping to get to 215 before the end of the year and sometime next year see if my insurance will help get rid of (some) of the extra skin.

I had to fly to CA for a business trip a few weeks ago (first time in many years because of my size) and it was amazing to be 'normal' for the first time ever on a plane. I could fit in the seat, I didn't need a seatbelt extension and had lots of slack, I could even flip down the tray table and pull out my laptop/notebook and do work on the plane. It was amazing.

That is awesome @Boombalatty. I have to travel a fair amount in my job. I will be thrilled to not have to buy a second plane seat. The idea of being able to put down the tray table seems unfathomable. Great work!
