Guest guest Posted December 21, 2003 Report Share Posted December 21, 2003 not silly at all Ruth, Just got back from a trip myself. The seats are made for sardines!!! Regardless, it was bliss, I agree, to be like everyone else in that respect. I too had several inches of belt left over and.. yes yes yes ... the table came all the way down!! HUGE congrats for reaching your 200lb goal!!! Getting thin, admit, it was the best present you ever gave yourself.

Guest guest Posted December 21, 2003 Report Share Posted December 21, 2003 Hi Everyone!!! I have been off traveling for business and have not been around to read or post anything in a while. LOL who would have thought I would have missed reading all these emails while I was away!!!! Can't wait to get into reading the posts daily again and keeping up with what is going on with everyone Well this trip that I took was pretty exciting for me, this is the first time in 2 years that I have been on an airplane, and the first time since having WLS. I almost cried as I got on the plane and sat in my seat. For the first time ever I didnt have to ask for an extension for my seat belt. I actually could buckle the seat belt and pull it tight, having a good 10 inches of the belt on the tightening side .. THEN as we were in flight .. i could actually put down the tray table and not have it hit my stomach. Silly things to get so emotional about but when you have firsts like this and have been so embarrassed before because you cant do some of the simplest things. I used to hate to fly because of those reasons, now I would get back on a plane tomorrow I also hit another milestone for me while I was away .. I have reached a loss of 200 pounds. I kept thinking I would never reach this part of my goal. At this point I only have 20 more pounds to loose, and then the real challenge begins maintaining what I have succeeded to do. I am looking forward to this next year, with my journey in this new life continuing to give me new suprises around every bend. My only resolution for this year is to live the life that I have always wanted to live. Be active and healthy, enjoy life to its fullest potential. I cant wait I am already on my way It has been an emotional couple of weeks, between my breast reduction ( which turned out wonderful.. lol am finally PERKY), flying off to Texas for business, the holidays and all the parties that we have been too already ( 5 since the 11th) Now if I can get all my shopping done before the 24th that will be a miracle I wish all of you a very happy holiday season and may the New Year bring you as much happiness and success as this past one has brought me.

Guest guest Posted December 21, 2003 Report Share Posted December 21, 2003 Ruth, You give me inspiration that I will reach my goals. Good luck with yours and keep on flying!! I know it was a miracle (I felt) when I got on the plane last Saturday and actually fit in the seat and didn't have to use a seat belt extension either! Then I actually rode on a ride at the top of the Stratosphere tower (in Las Vegas) without any problems. It was scary. T.

Guest guest Posted December 21, 2003 Report Share Posted December 21, 2003 Ruth, what an exciting adventure for you!!! I was always scared to sit in other people's chairs because I was afraid I'd break them, or ones with arms (get stuck in them). On a plane, I have been very uncomfortable. My husband bought a 1980 Corvette, and I don't like to ride in it because the seatbelt is so tight, he has to buckle it for me. Can't wait to try it again soon, though. 200# is soooooooo wonderful. I bet you're so stoked. You have a right to be! Joan LAP RNY 11/18/03 Dr. Higa, Fresno, CA 282pre-op/275surg/243/140 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
