Based on the results I’ve seen on here, I would wait to order yours. You may have to pay to have it rushed but it is a lot easier to take up a size or so than many sizes. Plus, you may lose in areas like your chest which will make for more alterations. It would be hard to order several sizes smaller now because you don’t have any way of knowing where you will be in 8 months.

My daughter is getting married in June and I have been putting ff getting my dress until I am closer to my goal weight. Of course that is a little easier to put off than ordering a bridesmaid dress. I think mooregirl has the best idea. See when the latest you can order and put it off as long as you can. Eight months out seems like a really long time out but you probably have to order six to four months based on my daughters experience. Hopefully by then you will have a better idea of the rate you are losing.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
