Thanks everyone for responding. I went to try on dresses and picked an amazing one!! The first time I tried it on a 14 didn't zip all the way. The next time I went, two weeks later, the 14 zipped all the way and fit perfect. After talking with the head seamstress about my WLS she suggested that I buy a 10. That made me crazy nervous because in my mind I was thinking there is no way a 10 will ever fit me never the less in 3 months. So I bought a 12 and figured they could size it down. I went back this past weekend (3 weeks later) to pick it up and the 12 fit tight but zipped all the way. I am two months from my wedding. I go back for alterations in a month. It is crazy that the 10 might end up working….
I will post pictures after the wedding. What a crazy journey this has been. Never in a million years would I have though I would be buying a size 12 wedding dress and sizing down.

Hi everyone. I am currently 16 weeks post surgery and I am currently down 63 pounds since my pre-op diet. I am getting married in November and I am planning to buy my dress in August. I know that I will have to buy off the rack instead of ordering it since it is such short notice but I have no idea what size to buy. Right now I am in a 16. I think I will be a 14 by August with no problems at all. Does anyone have suggestions?

Today marks 1 year post op VSG surgery! Down 95lbs and I couldn't be happier!

It took me 2 full days of torture and a 3rd day of rough until it felt normal on the 4th day. It does get easier. Remind yourself of why you are doing it. Don't give in!!

My surgery was scheduled and then less than a week left to be four days earlier. I only ended up doing the pre op diet for one and half weeks. I got really nervous about it but my surgeon reassured me it would be fine. Especially if I was sticking to it and not cheating. 5 days post op now and I am thankful that I didn't have to do the entire time!

My surgery is tomorrow also. The cravings aren't as bad for me as the the desire for something besides a sweet Protein shake.
WE HAVE MADE IT!!

I am having my surgery tomorrow. TOMORROW - I can't believe I am saying that. I was originally scheduled for Thursday but my surgeon changed it to Monday. I am scared out of my mind. I am down 12 pounds already from the pre-op diet. That is huge motivation but I am so nervous. I think the only two things that really scare me are not waking up (risk with any surgery) and the pain after. I have watched so many youtube videos of people right after the surgery. I know everyone is different but stressing is one of the things I do best. Any words of encouragement would be nice to hear today.
