Anyone else looking forward to going on an airplane and not needing a seatbelt extender??? ^_^ I have needed an extender every time Ive flown for the past 8 years. Based on my inches I'm pretty sure I won't be needing it this time. :D

Literally liberating, isn't it! So nice to have wiggle room in the seat and not feel like you are crowding the person next to you. Enjoy!

I absolutely am looking forward to that very thing on my flight to Phoenix this Christmas.... I told myself when I take my seat on Southwest, which has first come/first serve seating. That, for the first time in 5 years "without extenders", that if a large person is looking for a last minute seat, along with others, I am going out of my way to offer that he/she sit beside me.

I had a horrible experience about a year ago from a man who was downright P',O'd that I had to sit beside him and it was a center seat to boot. I ended up keeping my arms crossed for a 2 hour flight so I wouldn't use the arm rest or press against him at all.

I might even shed a tear or two when a buckle that belt without extenders for the first time.....

Good thoughts - Being respectful is part of the paying it forward.

Yes fitting in the airplane seats is exciting. I just flew to Chicago to visit my son and both ways when I got to the seat and looked at it I thought "Oh, that seat is so small" yet I fit no problem. Still not used to it. Now I book the window seat. Before I always booked the aisle so I could hang into it if needed to give myself more room.

I was very close to the weight you are now, and didn't need an extender, so you will be just fine.

5' 5" tall. VSG on August 4, 2015/ Starting weight 239.9/ Surgery weight 210.9/ Current weight 137.4/ Goal weight 140/ No longer overweight, now a NORMAL weight. Now that I'm at goal, it's time to move on to maintenance!!!!!!!!
