So, I'm down 100 lbs since surgery which was almost exactly 5 months ago, not including the weight I lost pre-op. I'm still quite heavy but the feeling of not needing a seat belt extender was huge. I asked for one, she told me she'd bring it.. I sat down, tried the belt and behold! It was snug, mind you, but it clicked into place and I almost cried. Definitely made my day. :)

That's a great NSV.  It's the little thing like that that show us what we've done, not the numbers on the scale.

Congratulations Seyenna!!! This will be one of my biggest NSV's.....I haven't been on a plane in 10+ years because of my size.  I will NOT put myself through asking for an extender, and being uncomfortable....so we go on road trips instead.  I cannot wait to tell my kids and hubby....hey wanna fly there instead!!!!  This is a big big deal and you must feel SO proud!!! Good on ya!

That is fantastic! I travel a lot for my job and I think I will cry when I don't need the extension.

the seat belt extender and the fitting into a booth at a restauraunt were my top (2) NSV's....at 6 yrs post-op I can still do both, which I am pleasantly pleased about.

 

Congrats~!!  Safe travels

prior to surgery 323lbs....4 years post-op maintaining between 108- 114 lb loss. 

life is AMAZING when you continue on the right path~!.  Use your surgeons gift to the fullest~!
