Airplane anxiety, just venting



Recommended Posts

I am flying to my surgery in a few weeks and the thought of asking the flight attendant for a seatbelt extender is MORTIFYING. So I bought one from Amazon and I will discreetly click it into place when I sit down. I also got an aisle seat so I can kind of lean into the aisle and not squish the stranger beside me.

It scares me too! American Airlines, spirit and jetblue seems to have bigger seatbelts in my experience. Good luck with your flight. You'll be fine especially with that extender!

I flew regularly while needing seat belt extenders. I finally bought my own (4x the cost of the Amazon link above, but it was pre-Amazon), but seriously, the flight attendants are always discrete and no one ever cared.

I don’t think you can officially be seated in an exit row with an extender, but that’s the only restriction.

Congrats — I was excited when I out-shrank the need for an extender!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
