I'm going to my first appointment on Wednesday to FINALLY start the process to have surgery. I know that there is no definitive answer and everyone is different, but I was curious about how much weight I could expect to lose within the first 5 months? I'm only asking because I'm going to be in a wedding in November of next year and I'm not sure what is going to happen with my dress.

It really is all individual. Your surgeon at appt could give you his best estimate knowing your starting point, personal history, and family history.

A lot of it depends on your starting weight, those with less to lose will lose much more slowly. Whatever happens you are most likely going to have to have your dress altered a week or so before the wedding. Just plan on it.
