I took a flight on JetBlue this past Sunday and the most exciting moment since my surgery was NOT needing a seatbelt extension and having to actually tighten it.. one of my biggest low points came last year when I had to ask for one in front of my wife.. since November 9th I'm down 67 pounds and feel liberated..

I get my surgery in 3 weeks. I have always hurt so deeply when I have had to travel. The looks. The comments. Once I had to be moved seats because they wouldn't let someone of my size sit near the emergency exit. I got that seat because they have more room. I was told to move to the back of the plane because it's not allowed to have a seatbelt extender when sitting near an exit door. It hurt. The hostess said it so loud and everyone heard it. Everyone on the plane watched me move to the back. It was horrible.

I think I will cry when I no longer need a seatbelt extender. I will cry tears of joy and pure emotion.

really sorry you were made to feel that! It's the loneliest feeling.. but use it as motivation because in the end it will all be worth it when you are sitting comfortably and you hear that seatbelt click! Ever need any encouragement please let me know!
