I had a size 18" neck for my dress shirts. I currently wear a 15 1/2". Today through some unplanned laundry problems I did not have a new 15 1/2" shirt to wear. I had to wear one of my 18" shirts. I had three people at work who see me everyday ask if I'm losing weight. Since my surgery everyone at work has seen me and everyone can see that that I am losing weight. The first few weeks had many asking about my health. So, by wearing a larger garment people who see me everyday finally realized that I'm losing weight. I'm not complaining I just find it amusing. Has anyone had a similar experience?

Yep, my shirts are huge. My dress shirts look ridiculous. It is a neck size 24 and it looks absurd.

The same happened to me last weekend. I was out of my "skinny" shirts, and had a shirt on that fit me 2-3 months ago. I looked at a picture, it looked ridiculous, like a little kid wearing his fathers shirt...

I just had the same thing happen yesterday. I'm still pre op, but have lost almost 70lbs during the first 5 months of my 6 month pre op plan. I wore a polo pullover for the first time since last winter, and I was drowning in it. (It was tight on me last winter!) I got compliments all day!

Wow, 70lbs pre op. I don't think I've heard of anyone losing that much weight pre op. Imagine how much you'll lose post op. Keep up the great work.

I started at 406, so I had quite a bit to lose. My goal is to get to 225. I'm 6'3".
