Default Flew to Vegas yesterday...

Attended a conference for the day in Vegas (left my house in Dallas at 5am yesterday...pulled back in my driveway at 10:30 last night...WHAT A DAY!!!)

Let me tell you though....I can cross my legs in an airplane seat now....and there is TONS of room for the seat belt (with material left hanging out when I buckled up!!!) I used to have to pull the belt out as far as it would go, and it was snug going across my hips...this time, I had LEFTOVER STRAP HANGING OUT (about 6 inches!!!)

I took a standby to get home early last night, and I sat in the middle seat (which I normally HATE!!!) I was VERY comfortable the whole trip...EVEN IN THE MIDDLE!!! The tray table came all the way down (without resting on my gut) and it was so nice, fitting in like everyone else!!!

On another note, I saw TONS of people in my industry who HAD NOT seen me since surgery....MULTIPLE people did NOT recognize me...it was the BOMB!!! I had a great time seeing everyone's reactions!

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.

You had some great WOWS. The seatbelt thing, that is such a huge wow, The seatbelt on our pickup had an extention on that I was wearing for years and about two weeks ago I took it off and wow I do not need an extention anymore. It is so neat when people do not recognize you. You had awesome WOWS. I am happy you had a good time on your trip. Congrads on the WOWS!!!!!!

That's great, CONGRATS! I can't wait to get on an airplane and have that happen. The last time I flew in November, from San Diego to Rhode Island and back, I was miserable, simply miserable.
