    I just flew round trip to Seattle for golf. It is a trip I have avoided taking for years because the plane flights would have been uncomfortable.

    At my largest, I was iffy for belt extenders, so when I wedged myself into a seat, i would immediately check the seat belt to see if I needed the extender. As I sat down on my flight out there, I followed the same habit and buckled in. The guy in the window seat told me I shouldn't bother to buckle in as I would have to get up to let the middle seat guy sit down. It was only then I realized that I had only buckled in to see if the belt fit. I almost took the same picture you did!

    Way to go!

    One of my favorite NSVs! I had mine about 4 months out of surgery on the flight home from Alaska. Final plane and was the first time I didn't need an extender. The husband always quietly asked a flight attendant as he knew I was embarrassed. I was so proud to be able to give it back and tell her I didn't need it after all. When we got home I checked out my car. I needed one there too. I was able to get rid of that one too! Awesome feeling!

    Great NSV girl! You are doing awesome!!

    Thanks everyone! I think the lady next to me thought I was a nutcase taking the picture but I don't care! You all know the true pain needing one carries emotionally - I almost danced in aisle!

    I travel for work (a lot) and this is one of the things that I most look forward to.

    I actually bought my own extender a couple of years ago...but then I started flying on Southwest frequently and their buckles are different. :s

    It was a wake up call for me and contributed to my decision to move forward with surgery this year.

    Tentative surgery date is early to mid July.
