Surgery date is October 5, 2015 and my wedding date is December 5, 2015. I'm having a revision from the band to the bypass. I realize that the wedding dress I have now will have to be scrapped as I will probably lose too much...

How much could I potentially lose if following all the rules? I understand that weight loss varies depending on so much. My BMI is at 38 now.

Any thoughts or experiences? I didn't have rapid lost at all with the band so I don't know what to expect.

Thank you!

@@betrthnever, of course EVERYONE is different but my BMI was very close to yours and I just went back and looked at my ticker and at 2 months, I had lost 45 pounds. Good Luck!

Omg!! Wow that is awesome!

Like the other poster said, we all are different. I lost about 38 lbs in the first two months.

My start weight was 239.2 at 2 months I was 208.2 (-30 lbs). I am at 10 months (now) I am at 131.6. 4.6 lbs to go.

it's been 6 weeks since i started my liquid diet. lost 10 lbs and one month since my surgery and i lost 42 lbs for a total of 52 lbs

They can do AMAZING alterations!

Yes, but the beading work on the dress will make it cost prohibited.

Not to mention the time needed to do serious alterations.

I am at two months post-op (RNY) and have lost 44lbs.

My seamstress says she will work with me because she doesn't want me to have to worry about a dress last minute. That's good.

I started out at the same BMI (maybe 37). I had my RNY August 11 (a little over 3 weeks ago) and have lost 30 pounds as of this morning. Of course, the first 10 were due to the preop diet. My doctor told me since I wasn't as heavy as most who have the surgery, I wouldn't have a 30 pound weight loss month, but it looks like I'm going to be close. If I had to guess, I'd say you would probably lose 40-45 pounds by December if you do everything correctly and exercise. Good luck and congrats on your wedding!

Got it

I will be three weeks on Friday and have lost 18 pounds.

I am already looking for alternative dress styles, like free flowing. I'll also be working my arms, too. Although I think my extra skin is going to be a fact of life.

I am 3months out (gs) and I am down 78lbs
