Finally mine own FART !!!
It was always good to read that a lot of you guys have had big farts. But it felt really great to have one of my own.
My wife and I went on a trip to North Carolina last week and it was the first time on a plane that I didn't have to ask for a seat belt extender.
I was dreading the moment we got on the plane because I remember the last time on a plane, I was sitiing in the exit isle (to have more leg room) and the stewardess made me move my seat because I couldn't buckle the belt. She told me you couldn't sit in that isle with an extender (talk about embarassing).
When I buckled the belt and it closed on it own, oh what a relief.
Just had to share.

That's awesome Dan! I remember that the first extension-less flight post-op was one of my most thrilling FARTS.
Once when I was pre-op, I was in the exit row one time of a FULL plane and asked for a seat-belt extender. The steward informed me that I couldn't have one. The prospect of having to be singled out and have the steward ask the plane for a volunteer to switch seats with me threw me into a panic! I don't know how I did it, but I defied every law of physics to get that damn thing buckled without an extender. I was definately the most uncomfortable flight I was ever on, and I think the experience was one of the last straws in leading to my decision to have the surgery.
Now I get on the plane and pull that seat-belt tight and have about 10 inches hanging (of the seat belt that is .)
