Waiting for First Fill

I go next wed. morning for my first fill. June 17th. I am getting very nervous. I am in a Wedding on July 17 th and purchased the dress 9 months ago 2 sizes to small. I am just wondering from everyone how much weight do they feel I will lose in one month ? I don't know if I should exchange the dress now or wait and see if I can get into it. The bride (childhood friend since age 5) is getting nervous. I am back at the gym 3 days a week doing step class. I just want to feel full and hope that the first FILL works for me..... Any thoughts ? I hear so many people say that the first fill did nothing !!!! any advice ?????

Seems like if the dress is tight you'll be fine, if its unzippable, you're taking a chance! This whole process is so unpredictable, I'd hate to see you get disappointed. I would expect maybe 8 pounds in a month!? Good luck...

Well, part of that depends on how tight it is and how tall you are...a few pounds on someone tall like me doesn't make as much of a difference in sizes. I'd also be asking myself how much you've been able to lose in a month on your own before the LB...I wouldn't count on the first fill helping much if you look at the odds. Third, I'd be checking with the dress shop to see how fast you can exchange for a different size. I agree with above, if you're working out a lot you can probably lose about 2 pounds a week on your own if your watching the calories. Good luck!! -BG
