I was going to just let this go.... but I respect you as a long time Vet and what you have said in response to my post is very valid.

I knew I was treading on the edge...... but the situation effected me in a way that I thought was pertinent to the WL experience as a whole.

I'm not asking you or anybody to agree (way way past that) and certainly didn't mean for you to lose sleep over it. It was a pretty shocking experience for me....... Like many of us, I was that person.....Perhaps I wasn't as clear as I should have been..... I was hoping people would connect the dots and see that I had similar stats..... I for sure have offended many of seatmates over a million air miles.

As I pondered as to post this or not, I felt that YES this is Obesity Related..... every one of us could relate in some way or another. Some of us only want to hear about whip cream and roses and that's fine...... It may help some of us to go a bit deeper and reveal some thoughts that have been pushed back.

If you read all the posts, I certainly was not the most offensive and the deleted posts aren't what you think.......

If you or anybody was offended by this post.... I do apologize.... My delivery is not always the best....

Just read on LA Times that United Airlines will be installing "slimmer" seats starting next year to increase capacity. I remember all too well sitting on a Southwest Airplane and what went through my head when I couldn't buckle the seat belt. Those days are gone for good

I agree with samIam - very disappointing is all I can say. If I had read that post prior to my surgery while I was investigating and looking for support I would have been completely and utterly turned off of the site and may never have stayed long enough to help me through the decision to have the surgery done. Disappointing!
