So I've always freaked out before flying that the seat belt wouldn't fit me and I'd have to ask for an extender. I've come very close to needing one but never had to. Today I'm sitting on a plane 5 weeks post op and I buckled my seat belt with ease and 3 inches to spare. I almost cried I'm so excited. My husband is with me and knows my struggle this problem has caused me in the past. He's just as excited for me as I am. It's the thing I needed since I got on the scale this morning and saw that I lost nothing this last week.

Congratulations!!! Great NSV!

I flew 4 weeks after surgery, and I was worried too. the seatbelt fit OK, but I realized at that point, had I gotten on the plane pre-surgery, I would have needed a seat belt extender... freaked me out.

I'm flying again in about a month... I'm really hoping to see a difference in how big the seat is then!

Good for you!

I always worry about those narrow plastic chairs they have at presentations, etc. I'm always checking to see how much of me is hanging over the sides.

Congratulations! That was my favorite NSV. There is nothing like no longer having to fear the airplane seat. Keep it up. This is only the beginning of the exciting changes that are coming your way.
