I lost weight in my face first followed by my feet. After that there was a mass exodus of fat from the stomach. Chest and arms leaned out. Now I lose it from all over and don't really notice a specific location getting smaller. That said, I have dropped 10 pant sizes and 3 shirt sizes so far on this journey. I could not be happier about this progress.

I can tell it in my face and no where else ! Very depressing.... :(

I am really waiting for it to be gone from my face and neck. bc of.a condition I have I had to rake a a lot I'd steroids which causes "chipmunk" face so hopefully that goes away

I've only noticed in my face

I lost it first from my mid section... Tummy ,waist.

I've only noticed in my face a little bit so far, but I notice my clothes are starting to fit a little better too, but I don't see that I really look thinner yet, but it's still early, it will take a while to see it myself, after so many years of being overweight.

First noticed in my face as well, but not a lot. I am 4 wk post op an have been stalled for 2 wks with any scale loss. However, I plan to do my measurements on the anniversary of my sleeve every month (idea from another post on this site) and today was my first post op measuring. Lost 4 inches in bust, 2 inches from my hips, 1 inch from my waist and 2 inches from each arm. However, gained an inch on thighs and an inch on the calfs. All in all, glad with results. It does help when you don't see the scale moving.

To OP, don't worry. You will see the difference in your face soon. It's probably already changing just too subtle right now for you to notice. One morning you'll wake up, look in Tue mirror and TADA!! Hang in there! :)

I have really lost it off my boobs!

I've noticed my butt shrunk!! Also my boobs and back fat. Tummy & hips still here. Oh, and my calves!! They are now tiny!! Very odd. As a result, it really hasn't been a huge diff. People tell me i look healthier and have more color in my face. I honestly think it's also inflammation has decreased. That's why i won't go back on carbs. Anyone w previous joint issues should pay attention to that. :-)

I have lost 32 and I notice it the most from around my rib cage- not my gut just ribs on the sides, weird. My husband had said twice he noticed by calves
