Topic: RE: First flight, post surgery

Jean! Baton Rouge! I was born and raised in Shreveport. Glad you see you here! I always joke and say I'm a Yankee Cajun but you are probably the only that gets that. The Cajuns are pretty much offended because they are pretty sure that Shreveport is part of east Texas! I love my Louisiana...there are truly no people anywhere like them. New Orleans is like no other place in the U.S. and I love those people so much. (I could listen to them talk forever!) Glad to see you here!

Topic: RE: First flight, post surgery

Sweetie I love the way you are able to tell a story with perfect pictures. I can see every person you described. I was spared from flying for a long time so I was lucky (or should I say the other people were lucky) that I didn't fly much. I posted the link on facebook and I said to my non-WLS friends that they should read that post so they can see what it's like for someone to fly as an obese person....to understand that we're doing the very best we can.

Today I talked to a very thin young lady today at a store and she was saying she was surprised that I was ever big. The conversation had gone several ways but I told her to remember that every time she sees an obese person to remember that I used to be that way and I was buried deep inside that body...dying to get out. She got it...and I got a way cool butterfly clip. Wakka Wakka

Big hugs, Y

I have tears in my eyes because I've done the same exact thing with the tray. I can't wait to have that feeling! I'm so excited for you. God bless you for sharing such a blessed moment in your life.

Way to go!
