No seatbelt extension needed on my flight! [emoji51]



Recommended Posts

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 haven't flown in 70lbs, but I'm flying to Hawaii in Feb. Hoping for same results.

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!

      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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
