How long before others noticed your weight loss?



Recommended Posts

a few people noticed while I was on the pre op diet. But after surgery I started get a lot of comments within 2 weeks.

At 65 lbs lost I had one person tell me I looked different, but they couldn't put their finger on how I looked different. At 90 lbs lost, I have had two coworkers ask me if I have lost weight. Started at 380, now at 289.

I would say about 50lbs when people started noticing who didn't know I had the surgery. My friends and family who knew said they could notice within a month due to my face thining out.

It only took about a month, since they don't see me that often. They always call me skinny mini now. I just laugh.

Some notice others dont. Depending on how large you are. Losing 40 pounds when your 250 is noticed easier than losing 40 pounds when you're 500 (me)

When I returned to work after two weeks off my coworkers noticed, and I had only lost 14 lbs! My parents, on the other hand, who I had seen the day before surgery, still haven't noticed lol.

people notice the weight loss, but what some people have said has left me confused. Has anyone said " well you look different" what the heck does that mean? mostly co workers, so I don't confront and say what does that mean! I take it as they think I look worse. I dunno nor should I care! seventy five pound down since I started my weight loss journey, surgery was on 11/21/17, only about 20 since surgery.

For me it was 100lbs but I was bigger. But I lost over 230 lbs twice once on Weight Watchers and once with RNY . Each time it was right when I hit the 100 lbs mark casual people noticed ...meaning people that didn't know what I was going through.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
