Anyone getting married?

[molfish62 3]

I'm getting married in 2016 (currently debating about the date, lol) and was sleeved on 3/7/15.

I look at dresses online sometimes but I won't be shopping until at least the fall. I have a fabulous alterations place and I know if I get a dress in they will be able to get alterations done quickly & beautifully, so that's not a huge concern. I am more worried about how flabby my arms will be - but I can always buy a dress with sleeves.

@@molfish62 what season are you leaning towards? I always wanted a fall wedding and wanted October, but we decided on November because it was cheaper LOL I'm worried about my arms too, hopefully we can tone those babies up by the time we walk down the aisle!

I am getting married 09/16/16!!! I had surgery 04/02/2015... here we go I will be your buddy!!!

I'm getting married next year June 18 2016 and I was wondering if anyone else that has had surgery is getting married soon or planning a wedding for the near future. My sleeve surgery is May 14 and I would really like to have some buddies going through the weight loss process with me while also trying to plan a wedding

[dlmadeja27 30]

Of course Rachel that would be awesome!!! Im glad that I will have extra support while going through all of this, I know we are all going to need it! How much are you hoping to lose?

[Rachel Jacobson 8]

Goal weight is 150 so 125lbs. I am hoping to lose that by November so I can get everything tone and hard too I have not even thought about wedding shopping... I am wedding planning but no dress yet... When is surgery again??

Of course Rachel that would be awesome!!! Im glad that I will have extra support while going through all of this, I know we are all going to need it! How much are you hoping to lose?

[dlmadeja27 30]

We have the same goals and the same amount of weight we want to lose! Im not wanting to get anything for my dress until I start dropping some weight. My surgery is May 14, so its coming up soon. How are you doing so far since your procedure??

My son is getting married in August of 2016. I am enjoying all the wedding prep. I think it is more fun this time around than when I was the bride. Lol!

Many bridal shops have some amazing seamstresses who can do great alterations. I am planning on getting my "mom" dress early next year.

Congratulations to those of you getting married!

[dlmadeja27 30]

So Im not going to lie, I have been drooling over wedding gowns lately and have found some gorgeous options for when Im ready to get my dress! I cant wait for next year!!!

I would plan it for at least a year post-op. You will be going through a lot of physical and psychological changes. A lot of people break-up or get divorced. I would not add the pressure of a wedding potentially make things worse. The surgery can also bring people closer together too. But I would give it at least a year.

No! But I wish I would have had this done before my wedding. I got married on 7/11/2014 ! Good luck!

I am getting married this weekend. I would suggest buying a dress off the rack if you are less than a year out from surgery before your wedding. A dress can only be cut down so far. I had to order my dress last September to get it by the end of the year and was told 8 weeks for alterations. Had I still been losing versus at goal, there is no way a seamstress could have kept up with my body changes. Good luck and enjoy the process or better yet, elope!

I'm having surgery April 21 and getting married June 25 2016!

Hello all,

I'm having surgery March 24 and getting married Oct 8. I would have preferred that the timing was better..... But whatcha gonna do?

I'm on the lower end of the acceptable BMI for surgery, but still have a good deal of weight to lose. Id be happy to drop to 175 (150 would be a dream)...

I haven't told anyone other than my fiancé that I'm getting surgery. Everyone keeps telling me I need to find a dress... I don't plan on telling anyone, though we'll see how that goes once I start losing weight. How did you handle getting your dress? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!
