What A Year!!!!
Apr 11, 2010
The thing that I love best about having WLS is the people I have met since I had this surgery. I have made some awesome friends along my journey. The support I get from them is like no other. They totally get it and understand more then anyone else could.
First Plane ride since surgery
Jul 09, 2009
So I survived my first plane ride since I had surgery. It was unbelievable that I actually could fit in the seat. It brought tears to my eyes, when I sat down and I could fit, even with the arm rest down. I also didn't need a seat belt extension
. I can't remember the last time I didn't need one of those. It has been years. I can't say that the flight was all that comfortable, but it sure was better then the last time I flew. I swear, if they could squeeze more people on board a plane, they would. I went home to visit my family, they now all know I had surgery. It was great being there, and relaxing. It would of been great if Mr. Sun had come out to visit more often. He only came out to tease us. It was mostly cloudy, with lots of fog and some rain added in. Of course I called home today, and Mr. Sun was out in full force, with not a cloud in site. I am beginning to wonder if it is me, that brings the crappy weather. I was home this time last year and the weather was the same. I got to see a few friends while I was home, and one of them I haven't seen in 4 years, and I got to meet her little boy, who turns 4 this month. I wish I could of stayed longer, but no luck there

bought a plane ticket today
Apr 20, 2009
I am nearly 3months post op, and today I bought I plane ticket to go home and visit my family. When I was selecting my seat assignments, I was having a moment of panic. All of the flights are pretty full, and I started to freak out on how uncomfortable I will be, not to mention the poor person who will be stuck next to me for hours. I have even had huge bruises on my thighs and hips from being squeezed into an airline seat.
Then I realized, that so far I have lost 65 pounds, and I don't fly for another 2 months, so who knows how much I will be down by then. Even though I am obese, I haven't stopped traveling, but to know, in a few months, although I will still be classed as obese, I will be able to sit in an airline seat so much more comfortably. I can't remember when I did that last. I was beggining to think that would never happen again.
