Default WOW moment on a plane....
I had to travel for work on Thursday & Friday to Concrod, NC. It dawned on me after I buckled my seat belt that I didn't have to losen the seatbelt from the last person that had sat there. Then I realized the I was able to walk down the isle without having to turn sideways because my hips wouldn't fit. It was an amazing feeling!

Alt Weight Loss Surgery Insurance
Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery.
Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.

Hurray. I feel you. I always flew with the fear of the seat belt extender...but we don't have to worry anymore!


You look fab and you might be able to sell 1/2 your seat back to the airline! haha

I can identify with you. This Wednesday will be my first flight since WLS and I can't wait to see if I can use the regular seat belt, get the tray table all the way down, etc. I should be able to do it all. YAY for us!

That's awesome. It's the little things which make you smile that are worth the effort. Congratulations. The last time I got on a plane I covered my seatbelt and left it open because I was too embarrassed to ask for an extender. You gave me hope.
