I am on a last-minute business trip.  So I booked the day before, have 5 segments in 3 days and have been in the middle seat 2 of the 3 times so far.  And was just FINE!!  This was my nightmare before losing weight, that I would book too late to get a window or aisle seat.  Instead, I did great!  I love my sleeve!!  Plus the tray didn't touch at all!!  I felt kinda normal.

Katarina, it's just around the corner.  I see your surgery is soon.  You will be here before you know it.  Take it easy after surgery, don't try to advance too fast through the food and you'll be on to your new life in no time.  Good luck!!

It's those real life moments, that really take your breath away.  Enjoy the NSV, you have more than earned it.

Thank you, Elina.  Today I actually believe I've earned it!  I love traveling more than anything else, I don't have expensive toys and I've lived in the same house for 20 years because I'd rather spend money traveling.  So it was a real bummer that *flying* caused me so much anxiety.  Today I actually feel calm as a ponder my one-stop return flight.  Thanks so much for your support.

I'm SO nervous about this. I haven't traveled without buying a 2nd seat in... well, 15 years probably! I have a trip coming up at the end of March. I made sure to get window seats, but I figure I'll be around 245 or so and I should be able to do that with one seat. If I end up in a middle seat, I'll die. LOL

I am 5'6" and while we all carry our weight a little differently, I didn't have trouble flying at 245.  I found I needed a seat belt extender at 270+, but was pretty comfortable (relatively speaking) at 245 in a window seat.  You'll do great!!

Yeah, I traveled in October around 290 and one I didn't need an extension for and the armrest ALMOST went all the way down (it actually did, but it was a TIGHT fit. I'm thinking I'll be fine, but still, it's that unknown and that little voice in my head. LOL! I doubt the tray table will go down, but I'll settle with fitting into the seat. I have a direct flight there and back so whew!
