Isn't it so just exciting?   I'll never forget the first time that happened to me, I wanted to keep the tray down the entire flight, and I didn't care if the person in front of me put there seat back!!!

Whoo hoo congratulations!!!

That is so awesome!  I am flying for the first time since my surgery in mid-March, so your WOW story is especially inspiring 

Keep up the good work and great attitude!

YES!!!  Isn't it WONDERFUL..

When I went home for the Memorial Service for my Gram and Pop, I flew, and I too didn't need an extender.. I had to wrestle with it a bit, but heck I got it on.. Hehehehe  That is what counts...

I am so happy that you have worked your tool and you are doing so well.. Keep up the great work..

Hugs,
Jenn

Congradulations!!! Everyone else said it all - but I'm impressed at such kindness from the stewardess!!  Maybe the world is slowly coming around.

Ahhhhh how wonderful was that???  I am so proud of you, and just wait, it just gets better and better.  I remember when I was able to say, oh just a booth would be fine, and not worry if I would fit.  I can't imagine what a plane flight would be like.

Keep it up, you are doing great!!!

Hugs, Diane

That is SOOOOOOOOOOO awesome!!!   I think of all the things I have had to endure while being an obese person, the seatbelt extender embarasses me the most!  I will be so glad when I get on te plane and do not need one.  The flight attendant was kind to you as well! 

I remember a couple of years ago I was going east to see my parents.  I had to have a wheelchair because of my low vision and I had been very ill just prior.  Well, they brought me a wheelchair and it was a very small one. We were pressed for time so instead of saying anything, I squeezed myself into it.  Well, I got to the gate and...........you guessed it!  I couldn't get out to save my neck.  And the guy who was pushing it didn't know what to do, he just stould there mortified.  Well, I was so humiliated I wanted to cry in front of all those people at the gate.  So, knowing that I had to get of the wheelchar to get on the plane, I gave it my best try.  I stood up and the wheelchair was hanging  off my butt!  I gave it a good shake, determined to get out of the stupid thing.  and FINALLY I was free.  Go ahead, it's alright to laugh......my daugher have had a couple of very good laughs over this one.  But since then I have learned to request an x-large wheelchair please!!   So the day I don't need to do that will be a great one for me.  Actually I am looking forward to not needing one at all!  

Keep up the good work, you're doing great!
