I cannot wait until I have my surgery. This past weekend I took a vacation to visit my sister in Cali. It was a 4 hour plane ride from chicago. I could barely fit in the seat. I was so uncomfortable that I could cry. I had 2 different flight attendants ask if I needed a seat belt extender. I honestly felt bad for the people I was sitting next to because I could only imagine what they were thinking.... "Ugh, I have to sit near the fat girl." [emoji26]

I feel your pain, I stop my self from doing many things i like because of my weight especially Six Flags... I knew i wasn’t gonna fit in those chairs. But hopefully for both next year would be a different story. [emoji1374]

Hi... I'm new here, but I totally get what you're saying. The last time I flew was a little over a year ago and I was super self-conscious. There are so many things I'm hoping for, post-op, but I'm trying to keep my expectations in check. My fear is that I won't be able to have the surgery for some reason, or that something just won't work for me. (That's the worry-wart in me)

That’s exactly what I’m feeling lately.. cuz they are taking for ever to approve. Let’s keep our hopes up.

Aww, I'm glad you guys understand! I just started the process and my hopes are super high even though I know I shouldn't put all of my eggs in one basket. I just can't wait until I'm able to do normal things like everyone else.

I hope it goes well for you both!
