Ok I have surgery may 29 and im in a wedding sept 13. Im 27/28 & a bmi of 45. 270lbs and 5'5ish. My problem is I already had to but the bridesmaid dress. Im a size 24 now and I had to guess and I bought a size 18. Am I in big trouble or should I be ok? Please help I need ur feed back results. I have 3.5 months to lose it.

    If I were a betting man I'd wager on you being about 200lbs in mid September.

    I started in a size 22/24 as well (at 5'4'' and 260ish) and after 3.5 months I was probably in a 16... so in the bridesmaid dress world an 18 was probably a really good guess. They can take it in or

I started in January at 299 pounds I completed my 3 month Preop in April and when I was sleeved May 14th I weighed 250 pounds. I was size 24 in the beginning and I'm fitting in size 18/20 so I don't think it's unreasonable to have that as a goal. Best wishes and good luck!

They can take it in or let is out to a certain extent... you should be fine!! It will be exciting to wear that dress when you are down a bunch of weight!

3.5 months out I went from a TIGHT 22 to 18. I think you did good on your estimate. It may even be too big!

You prolly would be smaller 4months out 80 pounds
