Hello WLS peeps! I'm getting married on 09/24/16! Venue is booked, photographers etc...So wedding planning has commenced! On top of all that, I am halfway through my 6 month Physician Diet... I am on Month 3... SW is 265 im 5'2

I'm hoping I'll be done with the process in January, prob get approved for surgery sometime in February. ANYWHO... I was reading that wedding gowns must be ordered about 6-8 months ahead of time? I'll be about 6-7 months Post Op (down a lot of lbs hopefully) by the time of my wedding... my question is... Do they sell bridal gowns "off the rack"? Planning on getting my dress 1-2 months prior to my wedding. I am freaking out. This surgery is very important to me, got denied in July because they required 6 months which I immediately jumped on! Lol. I have no intentions of pushing the wedding back either... I understand it's going to be a stressful time but I need all the advice I can get! Planning on calling David's bridal on Monday! Anybody have experience with buying an emergency wedding gown? Thanks in advance!!

Yes they do....often they are discontinued samples. A large chain like David's Bridals should have a decent selection.

Ok....don't know what happened in response.....I only typed it one time!

I bought mine off the rack and David's. It was discounted from 900 to 150. I loved it. I had time so I had the zipper back taken out and they put in a corset back. I got it about 6 months before my wedding. The corset back worked out due to weight fluctuation.
