WEDDING DRESS ????????????



Recommended Posts

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.

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. post-262753-14438742903871_thumb.jpg

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
