Yay, after my freakout about my blood pressure and stopped taking my thyroid pills I actually LOST weight this week :) I do think I am reacting poorly to the Synthyroid. Thanks ladies.

My wedding is still pretty far out but when I went to look at dresses they are having a really great sale and I fell in love with this dress, I know that the size I am in I would need to keep anyways because I am rather big busted and it is the same dress size I usually have to buy and have altered down, but how hard do you think this would be to alter?

    Have you talked to your doctor about stopping your meds?

    Yeah she knows. I have an appointment in 2 weeks. She works downstairs from where I work. My blood pressure went dangerously high and kept spiking shortly after I took them. She has me doing labs the day I stopped, one more set, and she is going to draw a set in her office and more than likely changing my prescription.

    As for the dress it does have a zipper. I have always worn traditional A-line dresses that pretty much so longs as the bust fits the rest can be made to work, this is the first "fitted" dress I have ever looked at. I have to order a 20 but the rest of me currently is a size 18 (minus the bust that puts me in a 20 to keep the girls where they belong).

    I would also consult a seamstress, but FWIW, I had a fitted dress and it was taken in 2-3 sizes. Within 4 weeks of the wedding it was altered at least 3 times. The design wasn't at all ruined, but I had a heck of a time with the seamstress. She had to change the cut slightly to really get the fitted look that I wanted, and I still think she could have brought it in a bit more.
