What is significant about this self-portrait of me on an airplane? :)

Oh Oh oH...

At first I thought hmmm is her port cord out and then realized it was your i pod.

So of course it must be that you, my dear, do not have a seat belt extension!

Go You!

Love Ya Sis,

Meg

Oh yes, my dear. Oh yes. I remember this moment vividly after I lost about 150 elbees.

Wow- flying isn't that uncomfortable, is it? Congrats, girl.

Not only do you totally fit in the seat, there's about 8 extra inches of the seat belt hanging at the end!! Many congratulations!!!

Yeee haw! New reader here, congrats on the thin-person flying experience. I was banded last tuesday. have been reading your archives and getting much entertainment out of them while i sip fluids and think of a name for my new port. looking for the PB tips you mentioned back in December - figure I'll need those in the next couple of months!

You made it with one seat belt. No extensions needed here!! YAH!!

I can imagine the conversation that you had with your seat mates as you clicked this one. "uh, my secret online lover wants a torso shot..." "I'm getting fitted for new sofas..." "I'm an artist.

There is a lot to like about this photo Jenn. Gotta be one of the greatest little perks about the surgery to be able to have moments like this.

Your seatbelt picture is inspiring! I'm currently 258 and I'm having my band in 2 weeks! You're proving inspirational. I flew last month and on the way out I managed to get the belt done up with some serious pulling, breathing-in and wriggling technique... on the way back suspecting that I'd put on a few pounds I discretely asked the hostess to check on me because I might need an extension... the b*tch didn't so I draped a blanket over my lap and didn't do up my belt! Naughty I know... but on a busy flight who wants to put on the light/put up a hand and screech "hello... yes FAT PERSON OVER HERE CAN'T FIT INTO HER SEAT!"

Hopefully by the next time I fly my belt will also have 8" of slack!
