Beautiful dress! Life is so much easier when you don't have such a small selection from the "plus" size section. Glad you got to have a different experience this time!

How far post-op are you? I am only at 5 days post-op so still pretty lousy feeling and only down 5 lbs since surgery. But I also started at 285, weighed 272 for surgery, and was 267 this morning. I wear a size 22 and can't wait to be a 16. You look great!!

Thanks again! I was at 252 on my surgery date, had lost 22 pounds while filling insurance requirements and another 11pounds in preop. My surgery was 6 months ago in June. Yes those first few weeks, even up to two months, were tough, but well worth it, just keep pushing through!

Wow! Beautiful dress! I've recently started wearing dresses. They always looked so awkward on me (bigger on top, smaller on bottom). I bought 3 in the last month. Now if I only had somewhere to wear em...

Thanks. It was a little weird buying a dress I'll probably never wear again since I still have more to lose but its nice to know dresses are an option! Hope you find some great reasons to wear the new dresses!

I had to join this site, just to tell you congratulations. I understand so deeply it brought a tear to my eye.

I had to attend an advertising award ceremony once, which required a dress. I wore mine embarrassed, knowing I wasn't fooling anyone. It was like lipstick on a pig. At 250, I didnt blend in with the 110 ladies and their equally svelt dates.

My husband I went on a small trip alone together, so I shopped for some lengerie. Quickly I decided there was no point.

Its these moments that hurt so deeply. Its why I've decided to consider wls.

Congrats to you for making this decision, you won't regret it!
