Hello All.....

I'm a little nervous about traveling. I love to travel, but haven't traveled anywhere, unless by car, in over 3 years. I've lost 68 lbs since surgery, but I'm still a bit embarrassed to be flying. I'm leaving for a friends birthday, on 2-17 to go to Vegas. My work, also requires me to be there, so the vacay is extended. I just feel a little weird still about being a bigger person on an airplane. Any advice??

Jamie, it takes our minds time to wrap themselves around our shrinkng bodies.  Enjoy your trip, do your best to follow the plan set out by your surgical team.  Hold your head high, you are doing great.  Take pics and share with us.  Hugs

Thanks so much! I'm still nervous, but I know things will all work out. I go to my surgeon for my check-up on Monday, so hopefully, I've lost more weight.

 I sure hope so! 
Been a rough couple of weeks. But, it's all going to be worth it, in the end.
