Well I had my first business trip since surgery this last week. I went to west Palm Beach Florida. I flew down and had an exit row.leg room was good, and I wasn't spilling into anyone else's seat. On the way back I finished early for the day so i went to the airport to try to get home early and went on the standby list. I sat in standard coach seat on the isle. I fit in the seat, still tight on the knees . The connection flight from Atlanta to Philly I was put into the middle in an exit row. I fit and I had leg room. Amazing feeling to be able to know I don't need to worry about flying and my ass being to big for the seat. Thank God. I put up 2 pictures on my profile from one night walking around the beach area with a coworker taking a picture.

Congrats!!! Flying comfortably and not feeling like I'm imposing my fat on others is one of my goals. I want to fly out to Colorado to visit a friend again and the last flight was very uncomfortable...and embarrassing.

You are looking great but most importantly it sounds like you are feeling great. How awesome is it to not have to worry about spilling over in the next seat? Congratulations!!!

This X 1000. I flew to Greece and back on a recent business trip and it was great. I always used to need two seats, not anymore. I came home and planned a trip to Australia, New Orleans, and Vegas. Going for United premier this year!

I know it must be a great feeling. For us, no more seat belt extenders - in the car or airplane! It's a big deal.

Congrats, it is a great feeling and you look great! I fly out of west palm beach tomorrow to Dallas this week and I can leave my seat belt extender at home and not worry about fitting in the seat. It is a great nsv.

I also travel a bunch for work. It's a bunch ease now. I still sit on a window so I can sleep but I fit in the seat. I even need to pull the end of the belt now like a foot or so...not pulled all the way out :)
