I just got off of my first flight since losing more than 100 lbs and am overjoyed to report that I fit in the seat fine!  I also could put my trey table down with no issues.  SO EXCITED FOR THIS NSV!!!

Oh my gosh you have no idea.  I almost cried when I put the trey table down and didn't have an issue!  I know that sounds stupid but I fly once or twice a year and have always absolutely hated it because of fitting in the seat and people that sat next to me giving me dirty looks because of my size.  I am so so thrilled with this one.  Good luck to you on your weight loss goals!

I flew to New Orleans last week. It was my first flight since surgery, too. No seat belt extender needed, and I didn't have to cross my arms in front of me and hold them in that position for the duration to avoid intruding into seatmates' space. Much more comfortable, I agree. Congrats!

That is one of the best NSV's!  I have a picture of me holding the excess end of my seat belt on my trip to Greece, 1 year and about 200 pounds after surgery.  I hope you got a picture! 

Congratulations
