Yay another local!!!! Awesome. Thank you! I didn't receive a request. Did you find me (there are several lol) Jennifer Ihrer Whitlow :)
@ Jennifer W. - I just added you as a friend on FB. My first name is Sandra.
I am from the Charlottesville area. Nice to meet a local!
I just got back and they accepted my id and birth certificate with no problem 😊
I am so glad to hear your trip and surgery is a success.. I have been checking back to see how it went so I'm glad you posted! I am still considering surgery this summer. It is helpful to hear from people who have been through it and had the courage to go.
Thanks for sharing with all of us!!

That was my fear! Surgery I was cool with, flying and 'fitting' into a seat i was scared about. I had a bmi around 70. I flew southwest. I bought the extra seat. Three seats are side by side on either side of the plane. My husband had the aisle seat, empty seat in the middle and I had the window. I sent an email to Southwest asking about their customer of size policy. I actually received a call from them the next day and they told me if needed, they could have a plus size wheel chair ready if walking was too much, I could preboard and pick the seat I wanted (no additional cost).
I bought the cheapest tickets with southwest, bought the extra seat (which they will refund you) and got to preboard as well. The seats are that comfortable BUT having that leg room and extra seat was amazing. I had a GREAT experience flying and actually got to enjoy the flight. Who knew?! :)
