Tammy,

Thanks for the encouragement. So ironic, life is. My husband will

actually be having a brain tumor removed on Mon. 3/27, the day I was scheduled

to be banded.

I wish you well with your surgery. Keep us all informed.

-- Air Plane Trip

more scary than surgery!!!

Hi Everyone,

As crazy as it may sound, I am worried more about

the plane trip to and from San

Diego than the surgery itself.

I weigh over 300 lbs, have difficulty walking very

far, won't fit in the seats and probably not the bathroom (trip home)

and will be coming from southeast Florida

so it will be a long trip.

Any suggestions on airlines? Thinking changing

planes might be good idea but will need time. Thought about buying 2

tickets and also wheel chair even though I don't use one at all. I'm 56

years old, want to do this, not a whimp but trying to be realistic. Any

suggestions????

Thanks, in West Palm Beach (hoping to set date soon)

Nanny B,

I'll be praying up a storm for both of you.

God be with you and the surgeon.

> Hi

> I had the same worries as I started at 363 lbs. I did buy 2

tickets for myself and was glad I did. If the planes have room, you

will have an extra seat but I was not willing to chance it and I'm

glad I didn't. I travelled over Labor Day weekend and the planes

were virtually full. I needed the 2 seats to feel comfortable and

not to be embarrassed by overflowing into someone else's seat. The

airlines will provide a wheelchair and they were very nice to me

about it. I used one on the trip home and was glad I did. I

travelled all the way from Virginia and changed planes on the way

there but got a straight flight home. I also needed the seat belt

extension and the attendants were very kind. I asked as I boarded

the plane and they either handed me one right away or brought one to

my seat. Whenever you think you will need a wheelchair, call ahead

the day before your flight to confirm your tickets and tell them you

will need wheelchair assistance and they will be ready for you

> when you arrive. I did fly Delta home and thought they had a

somewhat larger seat but was still glad I spent the extra money for

2 seats. It was one less thing to worry about. If you have the

money I would get 2 seats or if you are traveling with someone who

is smaller, you can book a seat next to them and they will

understand if you use some of their seat!!
