I would go shopping mid May to decide what you like and find out how long alterations take. If it's only a week or so, you could purchase 1st or second week in June, there won't be a huge difference in 2 weeks, the dress will still fit. Make sure to wear your shapewear when trying on! Good luck!

This is a difficult one because you could lose so much in such a short time. I'd do like the above says but find a reputable seamstress who can guarantee good work in a quick way. Does that make sense?

I would recommend waiting until May to ensure the best fit and being straight forward with the seamstress about your weight loss surgery so she can take it into consideration when it comes to fitting. Good luck and congrats!

I went from a size 22 to a size 6 in eight months. There is no way you can even begin to guess your dress size in June. Wait until May, and even then buy one slightly snug.
