What airline? Most have belt extenders available to add several inches. I hate asking and I fly enough that I bought my own on amazon. Cant wait until after surgery next month, hopefully I wont need it much longer!

Having said that, I'm in Australia so things might be different there...

Read up on the airline's website regarding their Costumer of Size policy. Many will give you an extra seat without paying for it as long as the plane isn't full. One way to ensure you aren't on a full flight is to fly on non - peak hours & days. You can also check the COS policy on what the regulations are for pre-boarding. It may be worth paying and extra $10 - 20 to board first. As for seatbelts, when you are boarding simply tell the flight attendant you will need and extender belt. Most are pretty good about discreetly bringing one to your seat. The extender will also ensure you are comfortable for the return flight home.

There's a very helpful Facebook group that may have more info/tips. Flying while Fat.

I travelled with an ex this year that was around 6' and 400lbs. As soon as we got seated he asked for the extender and it fit him fine. Just try to avoid the middle seat and ask to swap if you get it.
