I had my vsg surgery in Mexico on Feb 24 2016. I started off at 236 and I am now 144 pounds. The last time I was on a plane was flying home after surgery. I am going to Bahamas next month. It is going to be so nice to fit comfortably in a plane seat. I have bought all new clothes and bathing suits. This surgery was the best thing I ever did!
You will so enjoy more room on the plane! I haven't flown in a while, so I too am looking forward to it! Last time I was only down by like 50lbs, and while it made a difference, I'm sure now it would even be better!
Have fun in the Bahamas!!!

Since I lost the weight - I can fit in any plane seat. But I find them horrible hard and uncomfortable. For 2-3 hour flight - I cringe and manage. For any 3+ hour flight - I bring my sitting pillow with me. Makes a huge difference. Specially if I can't get up and walk in the plane every hour or so.
If the trip is long - you may try to invest in a good cocyx pillow to bring with you on a plane.

When I had gotten in onderland, flying was FABULOUS! Gaining the weight back sucked! I have to fly in December, and I am looking forward to being down in weight and seeing the difference.
At 144 you will have SO MUCH ROOM!!!
